That Satan had the audacity to tempt Him shows His low estate. What do u expect Jesus to say? "You must worship me and me alone cos I'm God"? That's pride. He was humble, and directed all glory to God. Mind u, Jesus didn't say "worship the Father". He said "worship God", and dat includes the Holy Spirit.

Wrong, Jesus simply quoted old testament scripture.

Besides, have you asked yourself why SATAN called Jesus Son of GOD and not GOD.

Surely he knows Jesus more than you , no ?

Also when he was casting out demons, how come they never called him GOD, instead they called him Son of the most high God ?

Are we missing something here.

Then am asking you is Jesus their first born? How do you know if some of them have children? And how do you link that statement to firstborn in terms of first born of all creation. The bible say they meaning the people and it didn't say Yahweh. You just they do olivertwist here. I go call you dbanj

Lol.........and you are not even seeing the import of the scripture you're holding to....

That scripture says they would mourn as one mourns for a firstborn.....Jesus wasn't there firstborn ofcourse but that verse surely points to the kind of person Jesus was......

And o Yes Firstborn there has so much link with Jesus been the firstborn of all creation......

And do you want to know from the scriptures that Jesus was called Yahwehs firstborn.....??.....

If Adam was to be alive today, if he had not sin, he would have been our father Eternal. No?

Jesus took over from him when he bought us with his blood >>> the ransom and became our father. No ?

That is how Jesus became our "eternal father"
> futuristic.

cool



So wrong because Adam have a beginning he was created about 6000 years ago so never mind you are wrong on that.

Revelation 1v8,11. Jesus said "I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last". He is the Almighty who left His glory and Majesty because the world can't contain Him. Hence He wept, hungered, bled, slept and died. Yes, He is the Ancient of days who came with the clouds of heaven (Daniel 7v22). The Great God who will appear in the Sky (Titus 2v13).

You are a fake Christian if you don't worship and serve this Lord God Almighty (John 20:28) who rose 4rm the dead.

Childs play! cool

Show me where Jesus was prayed to, even Jesus told SATAN that we should worship GOD only and him only should we server.

"replied, "The Scriptures say, 'You must worship the LORD your God and serve only him.'" - Luke 4:8

This is further buttressed by Revelation 1v1 which goes :

"1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place." - Revelation 1v1.

Jesus made clear to His disciples that HE would answer to the demands they make - ask in His Name. How can somebody not God do what the disciples asked? He didn't say the Father will do it. He said, Jesus will do it. John 14.13-14.

So what is your point. Am saying it is a description on how they will mourn how can you not grasp that simple thing? If I mourn for my last born like the way one will mourn for his firstborn does it make him my first born? Remove the tin foil hat dude

David was not pierced am saying some of the people who Pearce him dont have son and since it wasn't God morning what is your point like mentioned earlier it is a description. And firstborn means pre-eminent.

Our Prayers are always to GOD in the name of JESUS.

How about the answer part? How can one be asking God for something and a man undertakes to answer it? No man has such power. So, it's clear He's saying He has a role in prayer. And if you look at the whole context of the discussion, you'll see that He was trying to explain Himself and His relationship to the Father to them.

From what alvino is saying firstborn have different meaning like flesh in bible. Context is the key. Jesus cannot be born twice.

That Jesus is our Eternal father then means he has no beginning?

Does the fact that we human will be given eternal life, does that also imply that we have no beginning?

Smh for you.

There is a difference between eternity and eternal.

Have you ever heard that any body will be given eternity? No.

But humans will be given eternal life. No ?

Ur God,my God and our God-Jesus shed deity and bcame a man...he wasn't in eternity.He was and still God.Reduced himself 2 d glory of Adam.

You really doing a bad job understanding eternal life... If you really read the bible you will know the bible definition of eternal life... It is inherited and can be lost that is why Adam lost is immortality he was created with eternal life... Now Jesus is the eternal father because we inherited eternal life from him and Adam also inherited eternal life from him which he lost when he sinned. Eternal life is different from eternal father. We did not inherit eternal life from Adam so dont blasphem and call Adam the eternal father bible never teaches that ijawkid made such statement once I dont know where that statement comes from or what verse or scripture it came from

The colosians he quoted was even shooting him on the foot. Because if Jesus was created how did he create all things? Now in their bible they added other in the bible the question is what is their motive in putting other? When God call Israel is firstborn how can you explain that? What about David? Funny thing is in colosians their own bible they put other which is not there and in John 1:3 they forget to put other you see the inconsistency? Well I will be glad if he can answer me on this how many firstborn that God have and how can a created firtsborn create all things in even and earth... Whether thrones or you name it.

Dude your questions has been answered many times over and over but you failed to address the points he made how many firstborn does God have? Did God created David before he created the earth? The Jesus create him self? If he is created how can he create all things? Why is other in your bible? Why did they forget to add other in John 1:3 there are so many question but answer this ones and you will understand what firstborn means in that context.
