Was Christ there with God the Father and the Holy Spirit at the very beginning of the Bible? (Read John 1)

Of course he was.

Thus, God the Father, Christ and the Holy Spirit at the beginning of time (remember that God has no timeline like we do) saw that Mary would be the Mother of Christ, born as an infant. Her original sin was then forgiven in advance, so that she could conceive through the Holy Spirit. (Luke 1)

Many seem to neglect this fact — that Mary was chosen in advance.

Have a blessed Eastertide.

You said, “Her original sin was then forgiven in advance,”

Well .. if that was true, then there would have been no need for Jesus to come to forgive our original sin, if God could just wave his magic wand and make the sin go away.

That’s illogical .. and God is not illogical. He told Adam and Eve .. if you eat of that tree of good and evil, you will surely die. Well, Adam and Eve didn’t die - not physically .. but they died spiritually.

God made the law of spiritual death .. he couldn’t flip a switch and change his mind to rid Mary of her spiritual condition. Therefore, Mary could not have received a new spirit before she had Jesus. And .. the Book of Acts clearly tells that she did accept Jesus as her Savior on the day of Pentecost - and thereby received her renewed spirit like all the others who were there in the upper room.

I’m sorry you can’t see this truth.
