    Anonymous1: Let me try to converse with you intellectually. You’re reciting of Colossians Chap1, 15. Here you must be careful not to pull scripture out of context.
    This is common bad habit with present day public education.
    This is called violating the rule of context.
    You will find if you read what is before and after the sentence, you’ll find most of the time its meaning is something quite different. Violating the rule of context is a nasty habit taught in the public schools for two generations. It has created reading and comprehension problems. When you read scripture read the complete chapter in order to get the full meaning out of the text.
    Moreover; never take for granted what another human being is telling you about scripture. Instead, be wise, take what they have said and check it out for your self to see if they recite truth. In this way, you will always know God’s truth.

    When reading God’s word; before you open the scripture pray hard, and ask God through his Holy Spirit to open your eyes and give you understanding as you read his word, and he will grant it to you. It is the Holy Spirit that gives you the understanding to scripture. It does not come by flesh and blood nor man. This is the job of the Holy Spirit.

    Colossians Chap 1, 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the first begotten of every creature. 16, For by him all things created which are in heaven, and which are in earth, things visible and invisible: whether they be Thrones, or Dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things were created by him, and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things consist.

    Begotten means he always existed with God. No beginning, no end. Jesus is God.
    God cannot create himself.

    Taken from the Geneva Bible Page 1229

    Get yourself a Good Bible and read. Don’t let any man manipulate you to some false doctrine. Rely on God’s word and his Word only.
