Hebrews 1: Is Jesus God? Is Jesus the Creator? (by Bill Schlegel)

[@joemiddleton778]

It is really fun to dive into these scriptures and study this way. It’s a breath of fresh air!

[@christopherfaustino8318]

if we honestly examine our own church or churches in general,we find many areas in which the truths of the bible have been set aside.

[@FOMC6780]

I agree with what you are saying, but you need to put up the Scripture verses from different translations on the video while you are talking. The writer of Hebrews goes back and forth about Jesus in the Flesh and the Risen Glorified Spiritual Man from Heaven as Paul says in 1Chinth 15:

John 1:3 All things are made by him(Jesus Christ).

[@Sirach144]

The word BY here is Greek "Dia" meaning THROUGH. Look at strongs at this verse. It means "Bt instrumentality of..." Gid creates through Jesus.

[@joedaley1878]

@@Sirach144 Christ didn't prexist. God creates by himself. Creaton is created by or in reference to Christ. To bring about his coming, and to be ordered under him. The Hebrew idea of prexistence is figurative. Psalm 116:22 KJV Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

[@shanederry2691]

The first two verses in Hebrews1 refute the idea that the Son existed in the Old Testament!! Because in these LAST DAYS he has spoken in a Son, not before!! God the Father didn't created through the Son because he didn't exist yet. God the Father created with his spoken word!!!!!

I pray that Yahweh through his holy spirit brings rise to biblical unitarianism and make it flourish till the day of resurrection

What about John 8:58 - “Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am." ?

[@SonOfGodByNewBirthInChrist]

@@christianprincess9509 Jesus is making the claim that he (Jesus) was known by God before Abraham was born. Jesus is the prophesied savior in Gen 3. The Seed of the Woman that would crush Satan's head. God sees the end from the Beginning. He was **foreknown** before the foundation of the world **but was made manifest in the last times** for the sake of you who through him are believers in **God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory,** so that your faith and hope are in God. 1 Pet 20-21

[@GatheringJacob]

Yeshua was begotten at his resurrecton - acts 13:30-34. Just like we will ultimately be born again at our resurrection!

So sad I cannot study with you. It would have been such a privilege.

[@shellyhostetler4910]

*Wilma van Staden* Why are you unable to study with Mr. Schlegel? What is preventing you?

[@wilmavanstaden1026]

I follow all his studies on internet. I mean personally face to face.

[@randallwittman2720]

Hugdablock. All things created ,,,by.,, him. Old english thinking on this phrase. If i travled from dallas to chigaco i can go through st louis ( eastern route) or i can travel through De moines ( the western route) . So , i get to chicago ,,by,, st louis or ,,by,, de moine. THINK ,,BY,, IS BYWAY OF. EVERYTHING WAS CREATED BY JEHOVAH ,,* BY WAY OF JESUS. OR THROUGH JESUS. 😊😊

[@robertrecchia2642]

OK, everything was good until Psalm 2:7 which pertains to the resurrection, NOT the virgin birth. As a Biblical Unitarianism, I agree with your Christology. But please see Acts 13:33, Colossians 1:8 & Revelation 1:5. Born/begotten, same Greek term as are Firstborn/first begotten. Jesus was made greater than Angels at his resurrection.

[@robertrecchia2642]

Also God would not be speaking to a newly begotten “baby Jesus”

[@robertrecchia2642]

2 Samuel 7:14 ties into the same theme. “Son of God” is a Davidic King title. Jesus took on the claim for himself at the resurrection. That is why it is paired with Psalm 2:7

I pray that Yahweh through his holy spirit brings rise to biblical unitarianism and make it flourish till the day of resurrection
