And not one word written about the true context of Collosians 1 - just an incoherent rant from someone who is blind... being led by the blind.
I did. Its you who do not listen to it..Things were created THROUGH Jesus--obviously by the one with the power=his God and Father. Let it sink in.
I guess you cant understand english to well-How sad--What does THROUGH mean to your english understanding. That Jesus did it or another did it through him?
"english" should be capitalized. Your personal insult noted. Your lacking in 'English' also noted. Are you another Kingdom Hall puppet maybe?
Keiw, this is called confirmation bias....this means you force an interpretation on the text to support your own belief. Lets explore your belief which I take is the preexistence of Christ. If God is to create "through" Jesus, it must therefore mean Jesus did the creative work - have you considered Paul was teaching that everything has been made as a result of the creation in Christ Jesus? That the New Creation has it's existence because of the work God did in and through Jesus, as a result of Jesus etc? The purpose of all the God has done is found in the creation of Jesus Christ, who became the Logos made flesh. After all Jesus is a child of promise!
We know exactly what our bible says. We as well know it does not contradict itself. Twisting it contradicts it. Just like you think the 144,000 will be male virgins to women( Rev 14:4), but that is symbolism, not seen by your teachers because they do not have holy spirit, nor know how to use the bible to show the reality of that symbolism.
Yes the Logos( word) not called-God in the Greek lexicons but called god small g. No confirmation bias--just reality.
Kingdom Hall exists to TWIST the Bible!
That's a lie.
Symbolism, one of Kingdom Hall's favorite words when attacking what God said.
Your reality - but dont use Col 1 to reach Christ's preexistence. You must read is context!
Your own scholars know there is a lot of symbolism in the bible. but they don't know the meanings.
That's a weird belief certainly not taught in the Bible. The phsycial creation happened long ago while the spiritual clearly defined as being he who was born of a woman born under the law then crucified. Romans 1:1-3 proves this!
Verse 16 proves its about the beginning creation.
I've learned conversing with you is to expect you will pluck random verses without context and ascribe meaning which is not present. Jesus is a created being correct! He was born (did not preexist) and he died and was raised to life.
Prove it. It's Kingdom Hall who loves "symbolism" when they don't like what God said.
I get it, irony!
They repented?
As usual you avoid Scripture like plague! Have you ever read the NWT? Doesn't sound like you even know what it says.
Its a depiction of what we call the "Generative Principle" or "Genesis". It is the beggining of creation and the beggining of all new life. It is known as the womb of God. It is also seen in the womb of a female human and how a baby growns in her tummy. This scripture is not exclusive to any given situation, rather it is describing a principle that consists within the laws of nature.
How could he not preexist since his God and Father created all other things through him? At the beginning?
I know what it says. I know it doesnt contradict itself. Twisting what was said causes contradiction. Like at John 17:3--This means eternal life, their knowing you( Father) THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and the one whom you sent forth Jesus Christ.-- So by ones teaching a trinity is actually calling Jesus a liar. He is 100% clear--The Father is THE ONLY TRUE GOD.
