Bible Study - Colossians 1: 15-23

Having set out who Jesus is, Paul turns to the effect this has on creation. Nothing short of reconciliation is achieved. This reconciliation is sustained in the believer by their faith.

Paul knew exactly what he was taking about in Col 1:15. Jesus the Firstborn of all creation. He even knew what the word preeminence meant as is evidenced by Col 1:18 where he actually uses word the preeminence. Paul is not saying Jesus has preeminence therefore God says he is the Firstborn of all creation. No! Paul said he is the Firstborn of All Creation therefore he has preeminence. Firstborn means firstborn in all cases through the Bible, and each has been appropriately placed within its context and should be reviewed within its contexts. The secret to Col 1:15 is about the belly button. Jesus had a mother. Adam did not. Stay with me. The first Adam did not have a belly button, but he did have life. Genesis 2:7-8 And God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life/blood; and man became a living soul. And God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. Leviticus 17:11For the life (God’s Life) of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement. As we can see the first Adam was created,thus no belly button. The last Adam. (Jesus Christ) God placed his blood/ seed into Mary/mankind (virgin birth). Acts 20;28 Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He (God) purchased with His own blood. Creation/Mankind after the fall of Adam/Creation. Everyone after the fall of mankind/first Adam were born into sin. We were of our father the devil. (We were dying as our blood/life was tainted by sin and we were no longer part of the living/God’s creation/life.) My words ”God did not create the fall of man nor the results thereof as the fall of man was not part of the six day creation. 1John 3:8-10 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. No one who has been born of God practices sin, because His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin continually, because he has been born of God. By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother and sister. So with that said Jesus was the first person of all creation who was born alive unto God, since the creation of the first Adam. Jesus was the only person to be Born without sin in his life/blood after the fall of Adam. Thus Jesus had a belly Button as he was born of mankind/virgin birth after the fall of Adam. Jesus was the Firstborn of creation. A new creation. Gal 6:15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. Galatians 6:15 Both the first Adam and the last Adam we're of the unblemished blood/life from God. Follow the blood. Thank you.Enjoy his word.
