After so many firstborn rulers mess it up, it's a delight to see Jesus come along and use His power well, for God's glory and the renewed wholeness of those who acknowledge His rightful rulership in our lives. Reign in us and through us, Beloved Healer-King!

[@joshuahernandez3216]

The more I learn about the Righteous Nature of God and Jesus, the more I see God is Good and is Love, and sent His Son to save mankind. The more I also see what a wretched man I am. Please Jesus, save me from my sins and help me to serve You.

[@maggielaw6320]

Ah yes- but there's a moment of connectedness between these two truths. That moment where Jesus takes on your wretchedness and makes you clean❤ Our God is so good indeed. Remember that part too :)

God bless you guys for making the Bible more realistic and practical. I loved this episode so much, thank you so much. 💚

[@richjacobs9736]

Yes now we are the sons of God!

[@ThebelieverMtiz]

The moment God said, "LET THERE BE LIGHT," that was The WORD of God speaking, that was the word of Christ. You cannot separate the WORD from the SOURCE. Both the WORD and the SOURCE are One. He did, of course, become the First Born of Creation through the birth of Christ , the Man Jesus. He became our brother . Through His Blood we can finally be at God's presence without harm.

I love this page and they way you guys narrate things! It's so easy for me to understand for a newbie like me 😅 I also use your app to read the bible. I just started the old testament so still on Genesis. Somethings I don't really understand but I just keep going haha

[@thewatcher3100]

It's better you read a chapter and search from KZbin explanations regarding that chapter you will understand more about the deep meaning of the Bible. Its not a race so you don't have to complete genesis in a week or months time. Take your time in understanding what God is really trying to tell us. Bless you my brother/sister. Have a nice day.

Or you could read through it as fast as you want. Devour it like someone starved for the Word. The Bible is not going anywhere. You can always read it over again and over and over again and study it more in depth. Some days I just can't stop reading, other days I have to stop reading and meditate on it, other days I have to force myself to read even if its just one psalm.

[@genesischaparro8954]

An interesting detail about the temptation: satan acknowledges that Jesus is the son of God, but omitted the very important word, beloved. Jesus knows that God loves him, and because He loves him He gave him the power that the satan is telling him to take. Unlike Eve, who doubted God's love, and unlike Adam who just followed Eve's lead without question, Jesus knew so truthfully God's love in His promises that he could talk back at the temptation

When Jesus ask John, to baptizer him, John said it is not right for me to baptize you that you should be baptizing me. And Jesus said, permitted to be so now. That the Scriptures had to be fulfilled with righteousness. Jesus was made a little lower then the angels to enter the darkness. And that’s how we know it was Jesus in the exodus, because the Father could not deal with darkness. 👀👂🏿👂

[@jamboexpress2973]

Shalom, Glad to have landed on your channel. I thank the Lord for using you in a divine way to shed light on this seldom taught biblical truth. However, in my opinion simply mentioning 'The Firstborn' appears rather vague & a bit hazy & confusing. Who is the Firstborn mentioned in the Scripture(Exodus, Luke etc? Male or Female? Son or Daughter? Please narrow it down biblically coz this is a very Powerful topic to just glide by without being properly understood. May He continue to use you for His Glory.

[@isaacdodooallotey7845]

How can Jesus be in the lineage of Adam if Joseph isn't his biological father? We are taking about seed here. Mary was an incubator... Can you explain please. Thank you 😊

[@nanja01]

Basically because He was adopted by Joseph, giving him full rights.

[@ThebelieverMtiz]

Both Joseph and Mary are the descendants of King David. One through Nathan and the other through Solomon. They were distant cousins.

[@imaginaryuniverse632]

I think it has something to do with Jesus saying, I am the root and the offspring of David and something about how branches grow on grape vines and how a seed makes a tree and the tree many new seeds and new trees and so on but any tree we see today is but a continuation of the first seed and all that came before it even if it had no beginning and even if it had emerged from some unknowable source. 🙏🔯🙏

Why doesn't God just make everybody perfect? Tim

[@eastwood111]

Well, God did make us perfect before the fall. Referring to Adam and Eve when they were tempted by the serpent. After the fall, we were cursed in every descendent after Adam has been born with a curse. Jesus became the curse on the cross, so that we can be free. So make no mistake about it. God made us perfect but in our rebellion through our ancestors, we are not perfect.

[@John13verse35]

“Each day we are becoming a creature of splendid glory or one of unthinkable horror.” C.S. Lewis

[@richjacobs9736]

God became man so man could become like God right?

[@khotsokoalane326]

Yes, God became a Man so that humans made become like God is all things. For we are the exact Image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). We are called to be the sons and daughters of God (John 1:12-13), even (Psalm 82 & John 10:34-36) call the children of the Most High God to be gods. (John 5:19-20) children of God can do nothing on by themselves, they do only what they see the Father do, whatever the Father does, the children also does, for the Father loves His children and show them all things that He does. (1 Corinthians 15:45) And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam (Jesus Christ) was made a quickening spirit (life giving spirit). (1 Corinthians 15:47-49) The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord Jesus from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. As now we bear the Image of the earthly man (Adam) as living souls, so then at the resurrection we shall bear the Image of the Heavenly man (Jesus Christ) as life-giving spirits. As God creates, so shall His children create; As God gives life, so shall His children give life. Praise be to the Name of Christ Jesus the Lord of the hosts of heaven, King of the Universe, the Everlasting Father, the Mighty God. Amen🙏

[@ThebelieverMtiz]

In short, we are God's most precious creation. Of all his work, we are the only ones made in His likeness. The idea of becoming like Him almost destroyed us.

[@eastwood111]

No! This is idolatry you can never become like God. The only reason we’re righteous is because of faith in Jesus. We’re not righteous because we’re good. We are not good. God is the only one who is good. Please don’t think we become like God! That’s what the Mormons believe. They also believe you’ll get your own planet with a whole bunch of other twisted doctrines.

[@ThebelieverMtiz]

@Eastwood understanding is 🔑. Human beings were made in God's likeness. In other words, they were made to be like God (not God, but like God). Humans were meant to live forever in a world that was perfect. The snake, just like judas iscariot, had a purpose, and that was to test if man would listen and follow direct orders. Hence, it was created differently from all creatures. It just whispered a few lines into the ears of Eve, and all the lust and greed for power took the center stage. And we fell. Do you know that God knows everything from the past, present, and future. Every individual, young and old, living and dead, every creature, every plant, and all that is in the seas...he knows everything in detail. He can probably command a stone to rise up and crush you, and the stone will obey. His power can not be explained, and we probably understand less than a quarter of his existence .in that quarter, we know that He is love, and He is eternal.

[@eastwood111]

@@ThebelieverMtiz Yes, understanding is key and I don’t disagree with most of the stuff you wrote. But did you read his question? He’s asking can we be like God, the answer is no. Of course, were made in the image of God, but it doesn’t mean that we are like God. You won’t be able to link me to one Bible verse that says that we are like God. That is an idolatry statement. Edit: The only way we have a connection to God is through faith in Jesus. Our faith connects us to God. It does not make us like God. We are nothing like him. We are bad and he is good. We are righteous because we believe in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We are not like God!

An old ideology or for that matter any ideology humanly conjured will find a fan base. Fans don't challenge an old mind set. Fans entrench your comfort zone. You wouldn't know you have been the blind led by the blind because we are self convinced in our own rationality of things unseen most of the time. Like they say, birds of the same feather flock together and wolves of the same fur sleep together.

[@mikegyver3193]

The angels were created and Jesus is not the Father. And Jesus is to inherit the Father’s wealth. The baptism of Jesus was necessary because he was made a little lower than the angels. He was made man. Being with the Father before his birth into the flesh. Jesus was the messenger because the Father could not deal with darkness. John 1:1-17. And Jesus entered the darkness because the darkness knew it not.. In doing this, Jesus had to die and defeat death. 🥰😇

Why isn’t Adam God’s first born son? Is it because he is made and not born?

[@richjacobs9736]

I think I get it Man was created to rule with God but Adam Blewett. Jesus Christ is the new Adam

[@ThebelieverMtiz]

Well yes, we were meant to be Kings, hence the Bible refers to Him as King of Kings...why? In the beginning mankind (Adam and Eve) Were created and the very first gift to them was dominion over everything, in other words authority. Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” - Genesis 1:26 God wanted us to rule the physical on His behalf, but Adam and Eve wanted more. They wanted to be like God, satan(greed,lust, hate, anger, envy, jealousy etc entered the world through them. Today my friend every human is born with the original sin, the older we get the more evil manifests within us. God had a plan of salvation in Jesus Christ. To rectify our iniquities he provided a way out by sacrificing his one and only Son to take punishment of the whole world. Why would God punish his Son for our freedom? Well we did not eat the fruit from the garden Adam and Eve did, since we descend from them we inherited their sin.

[@imaginaryuniverse632]

It's confusing because there is a belief entangled with this story that somehow a creation can be responsible for it's own condition. Blaming Adam for being Adam is like blaming a ventriloquist's puppet for insulting your wife. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. John said, Jesus is the light that shines in the hearts of all men though most know it not. Jesus said, I am the light of the world. Jesus said, Have I not said that you too are gods. Jesus again, These things and greater things you too shall do. We can close our eyes and ask or wonder, if Jesus is the light that shines in the hearts of all men then what is this light which even a blind man would see the world. 🙏

[@multyz1]

God also referred to Isreal as his firstborn son.

[@JesusChristTheLordthyGod]

Already done that. You're trying to finesse me?

[@RoseSharon7777]

Gods firstborn Son is Ephraim. Josephs second born, the Son of promise. The seed of David. All humans are born of a woman. It simply means the mothers bloodline is used instead of the Father in choosing the Son of promise. That would be Ephraim who was of a gentile Egyptian mother. Its ALL hidden allegory.

[@mikegyver3193]

You make things very confusing, because you said first born. So now Jesus and the other angels were created by the Father. Because there’s no given in marriage in heaven. Jesus was with the Father in the beginning. John 1:1-17. Now, when you say first born. But Jesus was and is the only born to this earth, and there is only one begotten son of God. So you have totally confused the people. 🤷🏾‍♂️ 10:10

How can Jesus be the first born if he was before creation? He can’t be, he was already in existence. Only things can be born after creation. This channel is teaching, a Jehovah’s Witness doctrine, very dangerous! “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬, ‭3‬ ‭ Do you see how it says through him all things were made, without him, nothing was made.

@@CB-gi1gk I replied to your other comment as well on this verse. Please do some research and look up. What “first born” means in the Greek. You’re doing exactly what the Jehovah’s Witness do and denying the deity of Christ. You are saying that he was born and or created, which would make him not God. He is the image of the invisible God. And think about it like this from A logical standpoint. It would be impossible for Jesus to be the first born when he is the creator. Technically, Cain would be the first born that came from Adam and Eve. Even Adam and Eve were not born. They had no belly button they were created from the dirt. So from a technical standpoint, cane would’ve been the first born of all of creation. That’s why you need to have understanding of what the Bible is saying when it says “first born“
