Funny how you keep jumping around.

Why did you run away from Prov 8?

John 1:1 never said the WORD WAS CREATED in the BEGINNING, is English your problem?

Why did you run away from KJV?

This is the reason I told your brother to stick to one translation.

KJV John 1:1 says the WORD WAS GOD. God can't be created.

Micah 5:2 “But thou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall come forth unto Me He that is to be ruler in Israel, [b]whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.”[/b]

Micah 5:2 I'd about the operation of the eternal Word of God.

What does going forth mean?
Check the Hebrew meaning cheesy
All verses I quoted did not contradict one another
Even when Jesus was described as the earliest of God's creation and the beginning of the creation of God, you de cap nonsense... You're still suffering from pain cos of one woman... Eeyah

He was never created in the first place.

But if you agree that Jesus was created, then based on John 1:3 it means Jesus created Himself.

because Bible is so straight that "WITHOUT HIM, NOTHING was created"

He was not created but he's the firstborn of all creatures lol grin grin

After all, I'm not like you.



Who created ALL THINGS? cheesy grin cheesy grin



Then if he is the first,

Why must HE still need to "BE THE ONE WHO might BECOME FIRST in ALL THINGS(which included creation?" cheesy grin cheesy grin

I know you lack simple comprehension, the key phrase her is "Might BECOME FIRST"
Being the first to be created is just one of the instances where Jesus is the first just like he's first among those that will be raised to spirit being.

I've told you what that means.

“I also shall make him My firstborn,
The highest of the kings of the earth." I quoted this before.

So FIRSTBORN isn't about FIRST CREATED cheesy grin cheesy grin

You didn't get it or you did but still living in your delusion.

The text says "He MIGHT BE THE ONE WHO BECOME FIRST IN ALL THINGS"

All things already included creation.

And even the first is about SUPERIORITY Paul made it clear in his own writing cheesy grin cheesy grin

The WORD had a beginning

The WORD in which John made us to understand as Jesus Christ does not have a beginning. Paul, in his writings, and even John made it known in the book of Revelation (and other prophets in the Old Testament times: Isaiah, Moses, . . .) that Jesus is eternal. He has been existing from eternity. We don't know the origin of God: the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Isaiah 9:6; John 5:18 (Compare it with Exodus 3:14 & Isaiah 41:4); Matthew 1:23; John 1:1, 14, 18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 1:8.

No! It's Watchtower who added "OTHER" to their own translation in Col 1:16-17

No where John ever said the Word had a beginning.

In fact, scripture called Him THE BEGINNING just as the FATHER was also called THE BEGINNING.

If it's just about superiority, what does firstborn among the dead [/b]mean? grin grin

Colossians 1:15 KJV
[15]Who is the image of the invisible God, [b]the firstborn of every creature:


Even if it's about superiority alone, the verse still shows that Jesus is part of creation.

So FIRSTBORN isn't about FIRST CREATED cheesy grin cheesy grin
Lol firstborn as used in that psalm is very different from the firstborn Paul used at Colossians 1:15,18.

I never said firstborn means first created.
As you can see the whole phrase "firstborn of all creation".
This shows the status of Jesus among every other creation.
Jesus was first to be created and first in preeminence wink wink

My interpretation for firstborn is; first regarding the order of time and first in preeminence or superiority.

Now, the firstborn is different in Psalm.

But that's your conclusion.

As you can see the whole phrase "firstborn of all creation".
This shows the status of Jesus among every other creation.

And He was never created.

Jesus was first to be created and first in preeminence wink wink

First in PREEMINENCE again cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy

When the mouth is full of much lies.

My interpretation for firstborn is; first regarding the order of time and first in preeminence or superiority.

Which is different from Paul interpretation.

because Paul explained what he MEANT BY that phrase in the very passage.

Lol no where in the Bible says Jesus was never created grin grin
"Firstborn of all creation/creatures" means out of every creation/creatures, Jesus has a firstborn status, that is, he's first to be created and first in preeminence or most preeminent.
