I think we are starting to repeat ourselves. I would appreciate learning more specifically about who you believe Jesus is.
You have made it obvious you reject the divinity of Christ, but do seem to agree He is a separate person from the Father.
I guess I am wondering:
Did Jesus exist before being born to Mary?
If he did exist before being born as a baby, was he created by the Father?
Was he an angel like Satan before becoming man?
It helps me if you can answer yes or no to the above and then go on to explain.
Thanks again for the discussion.
**Did Jesus exist before being born to Mary?
If he did exist before being born as a baby, was he created by the Father?**
Yes.
“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:” Col. 1:15.
“..These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;” Rev. 3:14
**Was he an angel like Satan before becoming man?**
Yes.
“being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.” Heb. 1:4
I’ve posted quite a bit in this back and forth. If you go back and read them, I think that you will see that I’ve tried to cover the subject. But, I don’t recall quoting Hebrews 1:4 to you. Note that the Son inherited his name from God.
Thank you for the questions.
I said , Yes, to this:
**Was he an angel like Satan before becoming man?**
..which should have been, No, since in Hebrews 1:4, the Son is said to be MADE so much BETTER than the angels.
Sorry about that. I guess that was affirming that I had a scriptural answer in my mind, before even quoting the verse.
