" that Jesus was the firstborn, meaning others were born after,"
Nope. You can be both the first born and the last born. The terms do not exclude each other.
Example: The Passover story, when God smote the firstborn of Egypt. Does that mean God spared those who only had one child?
To: Conservative til I die
Thanks for your post. Since we are talking about linguistic fine points, I'd like to take a moment and share one: The word "Til". "Til does not always mean that everything changes after the point that "Til" denotes. Example:
Conservative til I die
This does not mean that you will become a flaming liberal the moment you obtain to the Beatific Vision. It just means that you are Conservative until the end of this life. Presumably if you and I have a chance to meet in Heaven, you may very well still be Conservative.
