See; you knew what I was referencing.meshak,
[Deu 10:16 KJV] Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
[Jer 4:4 KJV] Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench [it], because of the evil of your doings.
Have you heard about the circumsision of the spirit or heart?
Have you ever heard that the OT is simbolism for the truth and the law of the Spirit?
Do you understand why the killing of GOD'S creatures was never acceptable to GOD, and how it has always been a reference to self sacrifice of desires placed before the will of GOD, and the offering up of one's self wholly to GOD for GOD'S will to be done in one's own life?

no, I was not asking about the heart of circumcision.
That's alright.no
I do not agree with you
I disagree with you
That's alright.
Disagreements happen.
Would you care to go over the ot scripture showing that GOD wasn't pleased with people killing what HE created for the sins they committed themselves?
peace friend.

GOD is not like what?You simply misunderstand, what you are reading or what you have read. God is not like that.
GOD is not like what?
Maybe we have misunderstood one another. Let's try to clear up the confusion, alright?

Likewise.It has been nice talking to you.
Shalom in Christ.
Interesting; I noticed you portray the life of Jesus and St. Paul as some play too.You workers are like an old sitcom....a laugh a minute. :rotfl:
I think you may be missing the simple fact that first born is still born, as in created or formed or emanated from.
Your conclusion about eminence of course, is correct also; it shows first in a sequence.
The scripture you posted points to the Spirit of GOD and Spirit of life to me.....which are one and the same, as is Christ in a spiritual sense. Surely the Spirit that was within Him that He shone or reflected was the self same Spirit.

Just believe what the scriptures say.

Is life just a show for your amusement? People just playing parts for no real reason and with no real purpose?

Perhaps it's time for 'Pops' to take a 'Forum break' in order to rest his weary mind?
He's too busy with his role as the great communicator.
Let the curtain fall.
Question:
Who is the mother?
he is the "firstborn" right? Born can't mean created....
Did you suffer some form of 'Brain freeze' while posting this? What you said here sounds like EXTREMELY bizarre and abstract thinking.
Did I say mother?
If I had to ascribe a mother to existence then I would say earth is the mother of life as we know it. But I do not say such and contend that GOD is causal to all existence; earth being of that existence and not ever to be equated to GOD so much as of GOD for GOD'S creation and will.
To be born is to be of something....not emanating from self.....not causal to own existence. Such things are reserved for GOD almighty, and not the firstborn/ first fruits/ vine/ olive branch, or material existence in and of itself.
I must admit I don't completely understand your question.
