You make no sense. Amen?

Jesus was before all things as the following confirms. If you want more Scriptural references just ask. These verses are speaking of Jesus:

Col 1:16 For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: Col 1:17 And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.

Is your idea of Him different than this? Unless Jesus is FIRST in your view, it doesn't fit the above description so your notions are refuted. Jesus IS the Light of the first Day. Gen 1:3 Amen?

Interpreting Genesis is where man struggles. I believe that you cannot take everything at face value in the Bible. Not 'everything'.

Jesus spoke in parables.

I believe one cannot read Genesis and interpret it as it reads! There is more to it than what is written. I think it is not meant to be taken 'literally'.
Yes, I believe there is much more. Did you know that the apostle Paul gives us help with understanding the mystery of God, which is the secret of the days of Creation. This is his Revelation; written in few words so that when we read we may understand.

Your theology says this....There was God. God said, let there be light....and Jesus was created. I'm not buying theology.

Jesus was not created, the Father let the Son die from the beginning of the Creation, as written in Revelation 11:8; and there was light.

Correction: God was alone so He spoke Himself into the physical world in order to defeat darkness on the first Day. Otherwise, the death which was upon everything made apart from Himself, in the beginning, would be upon His Creation forever. The ONLY God ever formed or that ever will be formed, came forth from within the invisible Spirit into the Physical world. His name is YHWH and He later came to Earth as the man, Jesus Christ. When you've seen Him, you've seen the Father. Jesus IS Lord.

Christ..the Word was not formed...created.
Your anti-trinitarian response has been noted.

Do you deny that Jesus is the Light of the first Day? That He came into the physical world AFTER darkness or death was upon everything God Created? Gen 1:2 It's simple God, the invisible Spirit, SPOKE and Jesus, the Light, came into the physical world from within the invisible Spirit as the ONLY God ever formed or that ever will be formed.

Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no Saviour.

Jesus IS Lord AND Saviour of Adam (Heb-mankind). God is One.

Act 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Jesus IS God.

I've noted aman777 theology isn't baptist and aman777 should remove that from his tag.

Some try to stop discussion of what is actually written since it doesn't agree with the theology of men, who lived thousands of years before Science....in their obviously flawed religion. They seem to prefer the doctrines of men, and consider them above God's Holy Word.

Mat 15:9 But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

There is but one correct interpretation and that is the one inferred in 2 Peter 1:20.
It doesn't matter which one is right...aman777 is claiming to be a baptist...then presenting doctrine that isn't held by the baptist.

Baptists teach that the way to heaven is through believing the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, according to the Scriptures, is what saves us. It's all through the finished work of our Saviour. Amen?

Amen. Here's the verse:

2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

IOW, It MUST be supported by other Scripture which confirms it. It's simple to do since the first 34 verses of Genesis tell the complete History of the Creation from beginning until AFTER Jesus rules and reigns on our Planet for a thousand years. ALL the rest of the Bible provides the other details/witnesses to any situation. There are TWO witnesses to everything. Some are Their kinds and others are His kinds. Amen?

There are several things the light could have been. You act as if Jesus came into existance when God said let their be light. Jesus existed prior to God saying let there be light.
That He came into the physical world AFTER darkness or death was upon everything God Created?
There was no death when the "physical world" was created. The baptist teach that.
Gen 1:2 It's simple God, the invisible Spirit, SPOKE and Jesus, the Light, came into the physical world from within the invisible Spirit as the ONLY God ever formed or that ever will be formed.
Jesus was not formed...unless you want to consider the baby forming in Mary's womb as Jesus being formed as a human in His hypostatic state.

Your doctrine isn't what the baptist present...so please change your tag.

The one with the supporting Scriptures listed in the posts, which agree with Science and History and NO one has been able to refute. Want to try?
You've been refuted numerous times...especially when you post against baptist doctrine and claim to be a baptist.

Your post seem to be presenting a false Christ. A Christ that was not always God. Of course your distorted view of Genesis isn't what the baptist teach. So, why does your tag claim to be a baptist?

That's not what the baptist teach. Why do you claiming to be a baptist teach what contradicts baptist theology and doctrine? Will you change your tag to represent who you really are?
