    It looks like BU has taken a vacation. He won't post until he thinks we have forgotten all his errors.
    Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

      Kind of like how some liberals tried to sneak a comma into the Second Amendment back in the 90s so as to change its meaning in order to support the erroneous concept that it was about granting the states a right to form militias

        It should be noted the two passages used (Colossians 1:15 & Revelation 3:14) refer to Christ as a creation are post His incarnation and resurrection (i.e. Colossians 1:18 & Revelation 1:5 being the cross references to 1:15 & 3:14).

        . . . that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: . . . -- 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV

        Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: . . . -- 1 John 5:1 KJV

          But neither of these actually teach that Christ is a created being. Even the New World Translation does not state any differently. The Bible does not teach that Christ is a created being.

            Ah, not created being, but being part of creation. Both passages refer to Christ belonging to creation. In Colossians 1:15 "of all creation," . . . πασης κτισεως. Revelation 3:14, "of the creation," . . . της κτισεως.

            In both instances refers to the incarnate Christ in His resurrection. The Son of God became part of His own creation (John 1:3) by way of His incarnation (John 1:10, 14).

              The incarnation does not mean that Christ was a created being, I agree.
              Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

                The two passages cited by JW's referring to Christ as part of creation both refer to His resurrection, He being part of creation solely do to His incarnation (John 1:14). They have absolutely no passages referring to Him being part of creation prior to His incarnation. None whatsoever. And JW's are not aware of this one little big fact.
