Now I want someone I'd like someone who believes in the incarnation of the Word Who became flesh as in God became a man to give me thier thoughts on this.
Why couldn't Jesus have at that time before His death, be called "the Firstborn among many brothers?"
Why did He have to wair until His resurrection to be called "the Firstborn among many brothers?" .
@sonship saidYou think this is one of your church meetings?

@sonship saidI don't think so, sonship.
@FMFI post it when someone is being self-evidently and audaciously hypocritical or disingenuous.
That person being you.
Point by point refutation of your several ideas would be dignifying you "sanctimoniously". We know how you don't like that.
I think your refusal to address any of the alternative interpretations you are pretendind to elicit, as if you were in a genuine discussion, makes you seem unabashedly narcissistic.
And it makes you deserving of a "Gosh" every time your joyless sanctimoniousness reaches a saturation point.
@sonship saidAre you often afraid to say the word 'god'?
Folks, what does "Gosh" mean?
Is that suppose to be an alternative way to saying "God" when you're afraid to ?

Are you often afraid to say the word 'god'?
Yes, but usually only when lifting up the name in vain, like jesting or joking.
And this only became gradually so as I began to experience the Lord more.
I use to tell more religious jokes until one day I was convicted to stop using God's name for this purpose.
Keep an eye out now.
@sonship saidIs the god you worship the sort of deity that will punish you for doing this?

@sonship saidHow many Christians does it take exactly to convince you this is blasphemy?
@Ghost-of-a-Duke
Being a partaker in God's nature is not the same as being a partaker in God's being. Deep down, I think you know that.
Rather there is no way out of realizing that to being "partaker of the divine nature" has to do with partaking of God Himself.
Rather there is no way around realizing to being [b]"partakers of the ...[text shortened]... an that we performed the work of eternal redemption.
Only Christ the Head of His Body did that.

Where is the mighty uproar you speak of.
That is what you WANTED to happen, which didn't.

I'll trade you one.
Isn't the evolution or technological advancement you worship just a process to produce a more and more and more surivible species until it attains eternal life ?
As for punishment from God. It is suffering enough just to have no clue what a human being is or why we're here.
That's punishment enough to be so clueless. empty, susceptable to lies of all kinds.
