Scott, you answer in parables.

We are only the image of God via the body of Jesus. This is why Jesus was the firstborn of all creation. Adam was made in the firstborns image, not divinity.

Jesus never became a man. Jesus always was a man. He was even slain from the foundation of the world. He was even born before any living thing reproduced. Now you know why he has preeminence and what first and the last means.

God is a Spirit, man is not. Man is created in the image of the man Christ Jesus(body, soul and spirit), making Jesus the firstborn of creation. This is the other person in the "us" that God was speaking to as he created man.

Actually, the first Adam was made in the likeness of the last Adam...body, soul and spirit. This is how man was made in the image of God.

What is the Spirit likeness? Was Adam a Spirit?

Was man created in the likeness of a Spirit or was Adam made in the likeness of the last Adam(Jesus).... 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

Amen, not only that, God physically knew the man Christ Jesus at the creation of man. This is the "us" God was speaking to in Genesis. Adam was made in the likeness of the man Christ Jesus, who was there with God as a man and blueprint for Adam.

When the Father is in someone, they are "in Him". Because the Father was inside Jesus, he was one with the Father or "in the Father". God is around most people, but not in them, therefore they are not "in God".

Again, there is 1 interpretation and many applications, NOT many interpretations.

No, when people say the spirit told me this about the word and the spirit told me that about the word of God. And it doesn’t line up with the context, it’s a fraud in the making. The Spirit does not add to the word. Man does.

For example, spiritual discernment of the word often causes meant to say “the word of God says this but it can also mean this this this and this”. With the Bible, there is one interpretation but many applications. These New Age teachers teach applications as interpretations. This is the root...

“Spiritually discerning “ Scriptures seems to lead to chaos. That is where all of these religious commentaries start, causing all of these splintering off religions. Just take the Bible literally and anybody can understand it. The unity of the faith is all about taking the Bible literal and not...

The truth is the literal wordage of the New Testament. We need to back off on all of this commentary and paint a picture with scriptures. It would frighten most Christians.

The way Jesus is the express image of his Father is because his Father is fully inside his son, bodily . The father shines through the son.

Jesus, using the phrase “ one with the Father”, or I and my Father are one meant the two of them were unified. The Father was inside the son.

God made 2 Adam's...the last Adam was made from the foundation of the world and the 1st Adam was made afterwards. God made everything for the last Adam, which existed in God's timeless reality. What I mean is, God physically knew the man Christ Jesus before the existence of the material universe.

The human Jesus(God and Mary's son) visited the earth many times before he was born in our time(dimension).

I think Jesus was body, soul and human Spirit in the beginning with God. He was pre-made to eventually replace the first Adam. God transcends time, and personally knew His son Jesus, making everything by, for and through him. God was never left having to wait for Jesus to be born. Even the...
