Was Jesus Created?

(Copyright) by BibleStudy.org (Farmington, Michigan)  Was Jesus Christ created by God the Father? Did the Lord have a beginning just like all the angels? On the other hand, has he always existed as a member of the Godhead? How is Jesus the firstborn among many brethren? Some believers think that Jesus, the Word of God, was created by the Father somewhere in the eternal past. One of the proof texts used to support this theory that Christ was made (and therefore did not always exist like the Father) is in Revelation 3. Revelation 3:14 states “These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the […]

When Were the Angels Created and When Were They Corrupted?

(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas)  The angelic realm is created (Colossians 1:15-17). God created the earth, the heavens and everything in them in six days (Exodus 20:11). All the angels were joyful at the laying of the foundations of the earth (Job 38:4-7). The angels were created to serve people for a holy purpose (Hebrews 1:14). At the end of the sixth day everything was “very good” in God’s estimation (Genesis 1:28-31).

However, I do not believe he was eternal as the Father was until he was given life eternally after coming down from Heaven and sacrificing his life for ours.  Here is my understanding about this often quietly talked […]

Transgenderism: Erasing the Created Order

by Richard T. Ritenbaugh (Charlotte, North Carolina)  As late as 2019, Will Thomas swam for the University of Pennsylvania’s men’s swim team, winning one 500-meter freestyle event in 2019 and being named to the All-Ivy League second-team a season earlier. COVID-19 canceled the 2020-2021 season. When swimming competitions resumed in late 2021, Thomas—now known as Lia—swam for the university’s women’s team after undergoing at least a year of testosterone-suppression treatments, as required by the NCAA. Swimming against biological females, Thomas wins races and breaks records with ease, shattering pool, meet, school, and national marks, sometimes by several whole seconds. If Thomas […]
