Actually, Jesus was begotten, has a beginning, and is first born of all creation. To make the claim God was begotten, God has a beginning, and God is first born of all creation, is a theological untruth spawned by the trinitarians who reject (John 3:16)
According to Jesus Christ, His God and Father is One Nature. "God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) Therefore, there is no need to bow down to statues built of wood, stone, copper, or gold. Such things are forbidden. "Hear this, you foolish and senseless people: They have eyes but cannot see; They have ears but cannot hear." (Jeremiah 5:21)
Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father with "spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him."(John 4:23)
The woman said to him: “I know that Mes·siʹah is coming, who is called Christ. Whenever that one comes, he will declare all things to us openly.” Jesus said to her: “I am he, the one speaking to you.” (John 4:25-26)
Take Care...
I don't know whom this post is to but I will give a quick answer.
I did address the "firstborn" issue in my previous post.
If you are saying that the nature of God is spirit you should consider Phil 2:6 Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
If the form of God, His nature, just means that He is spirit then this passage should make you think because the Greek grammar for "existing" is a present participle and means that Jesus was in that form and kept that form into the future even when He became a man. Jesus as a man had a spirit. I bet the WT never teaches that one to you.
In fact it is because He had a spirit and existed as a spirit in a physical body that He was able to see and hear etc with His physical body. A material body even with a life force cannot be aware. Atoms do not possess that ability as you show us with your quotes. It is only the spirit that has that ability and is the spirit that is alive in the body and survives the death of the body, which is when it leaves the body and lives on. (Matt 10:28)
