in Jeremiah we read where that Prophet is told that God knew him (Jeremiah) before he was formed in the belly, and ordained him a prophet in that pre-mortal existance

Jeffie that is another good guess...

But no there is no mention of any pre-mortal existance in that scripture...Jeremiah 1:5

God just said He KNEW Jeremiah meaning He had the blueprint for Jeremiah’s future existance, his future which meant Jeremiah did not as yet exist when God thought of him..

Later in Jeremiah 1:5 God tells him “Before I formed you” meaning Jeremaih never existed until then...

There was no “pre-mortal existance” Jeffie...

Did you think there was for some reason ???

There is no mention of anything in the Bible...

IN THE BEGINNING Genesis 1:1 means just that..

Sorry, Nana, the Bible is filled with references to pre-mortal life. Including Jeremiah,whom God say He knew before he was born, and ordained him there...not just "thought of him", the Sons of God who shouted for joy at the creation of the earth, the rebellion by Satan and his followers for which they were cast out, Lucifer, Son of the Morning, fallen from Heaven.

Also, Christ Himself speaks of being with the Father before the foundation of the earth, and the glory they shared.

So, despite your condescending attitude with your cotninuous "Jeffie" references, which again, Nana, IMHO, is not really very becoming to you as a Christian, the Bible is filled with these references and the various denominations interpret them diferently (as you just shared your own), or do not interpret them at all, clainming them simply to ne the mysterious of God.

We of course feel that it points clearly to God the Father, His Son, and the Holy Ghost being involved with all of us as God the Father's children, whom Paul claims we surely are, for ages and ages before this earth was ever created.

Clearly, you and yours interpret it differently. Which is fine. In the end, Christ Himself will reveal all truth to His own because Jesus, Son of God the Father, and Him crucified, atoning for the sins of the world is the essential doctrine.

Have a great evening...gotta get the shut eye necessary for work tomorrow.
