“If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus, let that person be cursed.” 1 Corinthians 16:12






We know Jesus was created because scripture says he's the: -"Begotten" -"Son" -"Firstborn of creation" -"Image" and -"Beginning of God's creation" These arnt titles of the uncreated Source... These are titles used only for creatures of YHVH: “Begotten” means one has life/origin from another. God says to the Messiah, “I have begotten you.” The Father is never begotten. “Son” is not an empty title. Biblically, a son is distinct from and derives from his father. Jesus says he “came out from God” and was sent by God. The Father never says that about Jesus. “Image” means representation, not the original. Adam was made in God’s image. Seth was in Adam’s image. An image reflects another. Jesus is “the image of the invisible God.” God is never called the image of Christ. "Firstborn of all creation" & "Beginning of God's creation" places Jesus in relation to creation... Even if someone argues "firstborn" includes rank, it is still not a title for the uncreated Source. It is a title for the preeminent one who comes from God. Jesus says it plainly: “I live because of the Father.” That is not co-equal, self-existent language. So yes, Jesus is heavenly, prehuman, exalted, and the one through whom God made all things... But the Bible’s own titles only point in one direction: The Father is the unbegotten Source. The Son is God’s Firstborn, his first creation. Here are the key scriptures: • Begotten / Only-begotten: John 1:14 John 1:18 John 3:16 John 3:18 1 John 4:9 Psalm 2:7 Acts 13:33 Hebrews 1:5 Hebrews 5:5 • Son / Son of God: Matthew 16:16 John 1:34 John 3:16 John 5:19-26 John 10:36 John 17:1 Romans 1:3-4 Hebrews 1:1-5 1 John 5:5 • Image of God: 2 Corinthians 4:4 Colossians 1:15 Hebrews 1:3 • Firstborn: Colossians 1:15 Colossians 1:18 Romans 8:29 Hebrews 1:6 Revelation 1:5 • Beginning of God’s creation: Revelation 3:14 • Lives because of the Father / Received life: John 5:26 John 6:57 • Came from / Came out from God: John 8:42 John 13:3 John 16:27-28 John 17:8 • Through whom God made all things: John 1:3 1 Corinthians 8:6 Colossians 1:16 Hebrews 1:2
