I actually quoted the scripture she provided.That is not what scripture says.
those who are "saved" Christians are not mindful of Jesus' word and warnings.
Their confidence comes from their backed by traditional church elitism spirit which is vast majority.
They are in the wide road which is comfortable and safe place.
It is false security of safe place to be.
Thanks for proving you haven't a clue. :chuckle:
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
I go against man being seen as the One Creator GOD, and also go against faith alone proponents, and also any doctrine that makes GOD out to be evil, at very least. That is not in any way the limit of the doctrine I go against either.

"firstborn"the firstborn of every creature:
Well deserved? Do you really think before you write this stuff?
You don't clearly and pointedly go against any doctrine....nor are you consistent in what you say.
It's the Truth, and it should scare you if you don't believe it.
they have warped interpretation because they don't know the true meaning of Christianity.
Jesus wants all His followers to be a godly witness to the world.
We should be seeking to be a godly witnesses in all our conduct, even in the forums.
It is also most of us don't know how to test the spirit.
If we don't know how to seek it, we might be enabling our loveless faith ourselves.
Nature of Jesus is "love", that's the most important thing about Jesus.
They don't recognize who are Jesus' true followers because they don't seek to have fruit of spirit. So they are actually working against Jesus, literally.
"firstborn"
in the verse quoted is speaking of superior rank/preeminence, not that they were the 1st in sequence born.
We know this by reading all of scripture which gives tells us of GOD's 'firstborn" being labeled as such because of their preeminence.
David, Ephraim, and Israel are all called "firstborn" due to their preeminence, not that they were the 1st in sequence born.
The context of the verse in question gives the same context when read properly.
Colossians 1:15-19 KJV
(15) Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
(16) For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
(17) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
(18) And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
How do we test the spirit?
blessings.

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.
What don't you get about tue first born being the first creation which all else was created through? Everything wasnt created by thean Jesus who was also created(first born); but through the Christ and Word OF GOD....The Spirit?
I doubt you'll even consider my view because
