He made them male and female, 101c, and we are also told that Eve came out of Adam, so Adam was first. Yes, they were creations of God but the relationship is the same. I believe that Jesus, the Word, came out of the Father. There would have been no Word to become flesh if the Father had not existed. The Father, the originator, is able to exist without His Word being brought forth, but is the Word able to exist with out the Father? Jesus said that He came forth from the Father and that the Father is greater than He is. He also prayed to the Father, His God. I have read some of the definitions, but I'm sorry, that the very long posts are difficult for me to go through, 101c. God bless.

Scripture does not contradict Scripture.

Plus Paul went on to say:

KJV 1 Corinthians 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

Here Jesus is clearly distinguished from God, and is is NOT God to believers and ... the Holy Spirit is not even mentioned as God to believers. Paul said this long after Jesus was raised to heaven and was ... with God (Note Greek for alongside, not within John 1:1)


What did God have the words about His being a God of gods recorded? And using the same word for God, elohim as for the gods He IS God of? The LXX reads the same, so same word used (except for the plural for gods).

The verses you quote in context have very specific applications, not all encompassing. Context is critical.
CA, you're going from bad to worsts. listen from THOMAS, "My Lord", and my GOD", JESUS is the Lord GOD. get it?. Lord and...............and God. if not don't worry about it, (smile)
now with:
G4314 πρός pros (pros') prep.
1. forward to, i.e. toward
2. (genitive case) the side of, i.e. pertaining to
just don't use half of the definition use all of it. who is the WORD pertaining to in the genitive case? answer, GOD, the eternal Spirit

now, H430 אֱלוֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') n-m.
1. gods in the ordinary sense. (False Idols), of men, see #3.
2. but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God
3. occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates
4. and sometimes as a superlative

see that word superlative above in the definition, of the highest kind, quality, or order; surpassing all else or others; supreme; extreme. this word describes our Lord to a tee. G2962 κύριος kurios (koo'-ree-os) n.
1. supreme in authority.
and the Greek G243 allos, is the kind, andthe quality of that SUPREME PERSON here, the Lord JESUS, GOD.




now go back to the drawing board and try something

Shana, slow down, listen, Jesus is the Father in Spirit, and he "shared" himself, (spirit), in flesh as a man, (diversified), hence the Son of Man. understand, JESUS is God the Spirit, quit thinking carnal, ok

And this is a short post, (smile).

be blessed. and take your time.

101c, Jesus never referred to Himself as the Father in the Spirit. He said that He was the Son of God, that God was His Father and His God.Jesus had a will that was separate from the Father's will even though they are One in purpose and intention. He had to submit His will to His Father's will when it was time for Him to die. The Father was in Him but Jesus derived His existence from the Father. It's not carnal thinking either, and saying that it putting down the faith of another, to me, when this is what a believer reads in the scriptures with God's direction God bless.

not while he is shared in the flesh, NO, and he said that he was the Son of Man. Carnal think is fleshly wisdom, that's all. no put down, if so many would fold. the scriptures states you're NOT in the flesh if the Spirit is in you, see?.

Except in Hebrew it doesn't say "have rule." It says משל, "to rule." You're basing your theology off of the English translation, not off of what the text actually says.

No, in the Hebrew is quite clearly says that the man will rule the woman. It's not about responsibility, it's about authority.

I have my reason why. but I not yet fully furnish in that area as of now. maybe a future discussion?. but take note our Lord Jesus after his resurrection is "Flesh" and "Bone", but no blood, (smile). but that another topic to discuss also in the future. but as for spirit I was just using a carnal object lesion for the spirit, that's all.

but I understand why you asked.

be blessed.
I think you've got a long way to go in your research before you starting waxing theological all over the internet.

Yeah, it makes for silly rhetoric when you read it that way.

I would suggest that your notion of "context" is more about proof-texting than about actually using the context to try to understand what the text is saying.

Yes

God/Adam alone
Eve produced from Adam, Jesus from God
All mankind from Adam through Eve
All from God through Jesus.

A simple parallel and most miss it.

NO valid contradictions and they all agree, But context plays a huge part in accurate understanding.
