That was my precise point. The metaphysics of the past are simply wrong according to modern scientific observations of the nature of reality and substance. It can be argued science is finally catching up to the Bible's correct views. I apologize for lacking the time to discuss much more than...

That understanding of "the only begotten of the Father" ignores the context. John just informed us God has many "children", therefore Jesus can't be "only begotten" in a human sense. Moreover, it is the Holy Spirit who caused Mary to conceive, but John focuses on the Father and says Jesus is...

I agree both "Son of Man" and "Son of God" titles refer to His human nature via the virgin birth caused by God's Holy Spirit. BUT "Son of God" must ALSO have reference to Jesus' nature BEFORE the virgin birth, because John writes: And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld...

But scripture demands we not philosophize, that we confine ourselves to the teaching of Christ: 8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him...

Not mine, its the teaching of Holy Scripture. The Son of Man was made lower than the angels, the Son of God created all things and therefore is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

That's confused. Scripture says the man Jesus was made lower than the angels, and died for our sins. Scripture also says Jesus created all things, and in Him all things consist. Scripture is always true, therefore both statements about Jesus are correct and your refusal to accept one of them...

Your logic is confused. The subject is different. Jesus as a man is made lower than the angels to suffer death at Calvary. Colossians is speaking about Jesus as creator of all things, which is true only of God.

That ignores God's "breath of life" is not made of dust, it is a portion of God's Spirit that brings man into being, animates the entire being of man, body and soul. Perhaps you heard of Aramaic Translations the Jews used in Christ's day. Because Hebrew had become somewhat unclear to many...

Paul is speaking about Jesus, not "what is man". According to John 1:1-3 all things were created by Jesus: 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him...

Psalm 8:3-6 is about "what is man", not Jesus: He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Col. 1:17 NIV) Paul can't be alluding to that.

Frankly, I'm shocked you don't defend the OP, its generalization of radically different events as the same thing. The Sheep and Goat Judgment isn't about judging the dead, doesn't involve resurrected people at all. And it happens at Christ's triumphant return, with His Holy angels. This...

You didn't explain what "before all things" and "in him all things hold together" mean: He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Col. 1:17 NIV)

But what of the person himself that died? The body is not the person, its a body a person lives in. So if the body is resurrected, what becomes of the person who once lived in that body?
