Muffled
Jesus in me
I ws have a discussion with my JW brother-in-law about this passage:
Col 1:13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:
15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
He said it meant that Jesus was the first created being before the actual physical body so he meant that the spirit in Jesus was the first created spirit.
I believe the text does not support this nor is there any other text that does but I never understood this verse until yesterday.
I believe it means out of all created physical beings that Jesus is the first creation to be born. Adam and Eve were created but never born. I say a physical being because only a physical being can be born.
Also it comes to mind that there is church dogma saying that Jesus was not created but I believe that is not the case. The physical part was a combination of a female egg which is natural but the male part had to be created. However the Spirit of God that is in Jesus is uncreated.
