Of course, if you believe Jesus is God and had a dual nature you would be the latter.I'm the one that confessed that Jesus Christ came in the flesh.
I'm not the one that confessed not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh.

Jesus is indeed God, the Creator!
Col 1 By Him all things were created!
Try reading my post this time.What are the all things that were created? It's listed in the verse and they are not the planets.
That's true - name one thing that God created that didn't have Christ in mind? Even Christ was created with ALL things in mind!Try reading my post this time.

Who told you that? Kingdom Hall maybe?That's true - name one thing that God created that didn't have Christ in mind? Even Christ was created with ALL things in mind!

Try reading it again.I read your post and the same kind of post that many others post. The all things are not everything that was ever created like the oceans and planets. It's right there in the verse that tells you what the all things are. They are thrones, dominions, principalities and powers. These are the all things that Christ needs to run his church that started after he rose from the dead.
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Do you even understand the meaning of the word "principle" i.e. if there was no law given to Adam at the Garden, there would be no transgression of disobedience? Sin therefore entered the world and even the earth groaneth!No one believing in this tradition has even tried to answer the simple question, as though it doesn't matter who created it, it's just 'there'. Everyone has heard the theories of how, which can all be debunked by Scripture, and I would be glad to offer them to you, but if there is a how, then there must be a who that does it.
I.e. is Christ creating man today and putting sin in his seed? If not Christ, then who?
You're the one who said babies burn in Hell. Why would anyone believe you?Do you even understand the meaning of the word "principle" i.e. if there was no law given to Adam at the Garden, there would be no transgression of disobedience? Sin therefore entered the world and even the earth groaneth!
Below, you will find chapter and verse that explains what I'm trying to express.
Romans 4:15 reads:
"Because the law worketh wrath, for where no law is, there is no transgression."
Romans 5:12-21 reads:
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
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.
15 But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift: for the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all men unto justification of life.
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

You're the one who said babies burn in Hell. Why would anyone believe you?
Try reading it again.
No you beg off from answering the question of the thread:I beg to differ.
Thank you very much. You are the first to offer an answer.I haven't read all 19 pages. Has anybody pointed out that the devil put the sin nature into man when Eve obeyed him in the garden?
It wasn't there until then and God punishes all 3 of them for it in Genesis 3:15.
Adam and Eve were innocent and without shame before that time. They had no sin nature. Putting that nature into them caused all mankind that came from them to have it, BUT it appears that there are two main types of people as well. Wheat and Tares seem to have differing levels of this nature, or proclivities with which to follow its tendency within them. Matthew 13:38
If the devil planted (generated) the Tares with a very strong sin nature, that is why Jesus said that there are people who "... it is not given to them to know ..." the secrets of spiritual salvation. Matthew 13:11
This is predeterminism of certain salvation for some and certain damnation for others at their conception.Wheat and Tares seem to have differing levels of this nature, or proclivities with which to follow its tendency within them. Matthew 13:38

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.And where in Scripture is the concept of God becoming man taught? Jesus is born into condemned humanity! Hence why it can be said Romans 8:1-3
I am not a JW by the way!
I worked this out for myself which is something you ought to be able to do!

And so, either the devil or man now creates man and natural things of the earth with lust to sin in it?Do you even understand the meaning of the word "principle" i.e. if there was no law given to Adam at the Garden, there would be no transgression of disobedience? Sin therefore entered the world and even the earth groaneth!
