Ok isee where you are coming from i think.

Let me ask you a question. Do you understand how i find fault with your perspective as i laid it out in the previous post? Do you consider it to be a logical arguement to your perspective? not saying you agree with it but do you consider the arguement logical?

As to the question of His being the first born this is obviously not speaking of His birth here on earth otherwise how could He have been before all things or how could He have created all things? It also is obviously not speaking of a literal birth in the distant past sometime otherwise He again is not before all things also this view would mean that there is of necessity a female goddess running around somewhere which would be to espouce a doctrine of polytheism. So if it is not speaking of a literal birth it stands to reason that the term firstborn is to be taken as a postion rather than a cronological order. In other words this is being used to signify that Jesus is above all others He is to have the preimer spot the highest and loftiest place. Just as with the old testament laws of inheiritance the firstborn got the best and most of all things. So with Jesus He there is none higher than He.
