**I’m not arguing with you about the words Jesus said, only the way you have come across in your interpretation of those words.**
For example?
**Please answer the question I have asked you now for the fourth time: Did the Son of God exist before the incarnation?**
You mean that this verse I quoted doesn’t provide an answer?:
“..These things saith the Amen, the faithful witness, the beginning of the creation of God;” Rev. 3:14
**He did not become the Son of God when He took on human flesh.**
“Thou art my Son, this day I have begotten thee?” Heb. 1:5 (Ps. 2:7)
I don’t know about you, but I read a beginning right there.
“I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son”. Heb. 1:5
Will be,....shall be?? Looks like a beginning to me.
For Sola Scriptura folks, defining God as the scriptures define him is a must. The phrase the ‘Son of God’ is quite plain: the Son is of God. God gave the Son his beginning, which was before anything else.
Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, not ‘God the image’.
Are you unable to just answer a question? You quote Bible verses as your answers but show how your interpretation of them is different from historical Christianity. You also run into contradictions and ignore them. Here's one:
How can the EVERLASTING Father not also have an EVERLASTING son?
My Bible tells me God was manifested in the flesh.
Not believing that Jesus is God, is extremely dangerous to one's own soul.
(1 Timothy 3:16)
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
