Romans 8:29 ·God knew them before he made the world [L For those whom he foreknew…], ·and he chose them […he also predestined/chose beforehand] to be ·like [molded to the pattern of; conformed to the image of] his Son so that Jesus would be the firstborn [C the preeminent one, but also...

It means that there is nothing—absolutely nothing—in heaven or on earth, physical or spiritual, that is not made by Christ (John 1:3), bought by Christ (1 Cor. 6:20), or belonging to Christ (Rom. 11:36). It is all His preeminence of Christ. “Preeminence” is a lofty word. It means the highest...

The Centrality of Christ 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.[i] 16 For everything was created by Him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through Him and...

Another interesting point is that whenever arch refers to a person, most of the time it has something to do with rule, dominion, or authority of some type(of course, only persons can be rulers). This is backed up from the LXX, New Testament, and secular usage. J.R. Mantey in Depth Explorations...

11. Mr. Stafford has not proved distinct beings only distinct persons. This is a passage I would use as a proof text to refute Sabellianism. He comes to this passage with Henotheist (sub-category of polytheism) presuppositions. I of course come to this passage with Monotheistic and Trinitarian...

8. Let’s take a look at these parallels. Matt. 24:8- Yes, this is grammatically parallel, but arch as a noun is being used differently. arch in Rev. 3:14 is being used as a title. Matt. 24:8 is not. arch in Rev. 3:14 is active. Matt. 24:8 is passive. Context will determine the meaning. In my...

5. For someone who is always trying to get out of ‘rules,’ it is surprising to find him try to make one. See his discussions on Jn 1:1 and Tit. 2:13 on how desperate he is to eliminate valid rules. Now he will probably deny he is making a rule. But he does not have to use the word rule. Notice...

1. This statistic can be misleading. In the LXX, it is closer to approximately 50% with the meaning of ‘beginning’. arch can mean beginning, rule, sum, choicest, edge, band, highest, origin, and top. In the second paragraph of this paper above, I show the absurdity of Furuli’s statistic. Context...

Grammatical Analysis h arch thV ktisews tou qeou Ê ARXÊ TÊS KTISEWS TOU THEOU The Beginning of the Creation of God. The "ruler" (arche, "source," "origin") further amplifies the Amen statement. Paul used arche in Colossians 1:18 to describe Christ as the source or origin of all creation...

Commentary A literal translation of this passage is grammatically ambiguous (decoding linguistic elements is not enough). Therefore we have to search for the author’s intended meaning also through contextual inference. Delling in Kittel’s Theological Dictionary Of The New Testament on page 479...

C o m m e n t a r y from Adam Clarke's Commentary... Who is the image of the invisible God - The counterpart of God Almighty, and if the image of the invisible God, consequently nothing that appeared in him could be that image; for if it could be visible in the Son, it could also be visible in...

No, the emptying was simply a change of position from Heaven to becoming human on earth.

I don't get it

huh??? Spiritual things are passed through bloodlines as well.
