Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was I AM." (John 8:58 NKJV)
Keypurr, why not stick with the scriptures and keep it simple?
Savior existed all through history. He didn't just pop up one day as a baby .
Savior became mortal so there is remission of sin.
For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. (Romans 5:10 (NKJV)
It is my belief that Christ, the express image, SPOKE through Jesus.
Christ existed in the past,
not Jesus. Christ was at the creation and was not a man, Jesus was a man. Jesus is the flesh son of God, he is the BODY God prepared for Christ, the spiritual son that HE SENT.
Christ is a special spiritual being, you do not see that.
God created an exact copy of his BEING. God is a spirit, this copy is a spirit.
Heb 1:3
(GNB) He reflects the brightness of God's glory and is the exact likeness of God's own being, sustaining the universe with his powerful word. After achieving forgiveness for the sins of all human beings, he sat down in heaven at the right side of God, the Supreme Power.
(GW) His Son is the reflection of God's glory and the
exact likeness of God's being. He holds everything together through his powerful words. After he had cleansed people from their sins, he received the highest position, the one next to the Father in heaven.
(ISV) He is the reflection of God's glory
and the exact likeness of his being, and he holds everything together by his powerful word. After he had provided a cleansing from sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Highest Majesty
(KJV) Who being the brightness of his glory,
and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
(NIrV) The Son is the gleaming brightness of God's glory.
He is the exact likeness of God's being. He uses his powerful word to hold all things together. He provided the way for people to be made pure from sin. Then he sat down at the right hand of the King, the Majesty in heaven.
(NIV)
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
