uh huh, i was suspicious about you. For the longest while i thought that you didn't accept Christ's eternality, like myself, but i began to question it in your last few posts.
No, Christ was both the first-born of creation, because all was created for him. And, he was the first-born from the dead, because no one preceded him into heaven.
Well, that's a shame, I was hoping that you didn't subscribe to such a mystical and implausible theory?

Him being the spoken word of God does not make him equal in power with God. This is why John calls him the "Word of God" in the God head and calls the Father "God Almighty", because the Father is above all others. He does what his Father tells him. Only God knows why this is so hard for you to understand.
Creatures bleed, Christ bled.
Yes, because he took on the form of a human as a "living soul", which is a creature that is made lower than the angels. From time immemorial though, he was part of the Godhead as "the word", a living spirit, big difference between the two.
(Hebrews 2:6-9) "But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? {7} Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: {8} Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. {9} But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man."
