The False Teaching of the Pre-existence of Christ

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]Description: The Bible is authoritative, authentic and the only source of Divine wisdom. Jesus is described as the Messiah, the Son of man and the Son of God throughout the Bible. Many characters in the New Testament clearly understood Jesus’s humanity, such as Peter, the Samaritan woman, Philip, John, the Ethiopian, Paul. Through the Acts of the Apostles, Jesus promoted as the Son of God. Spurious suggestions commenced about 140AD by Hermas, culminating in the Nicean creed, which was enforced by Emperor Theodosius in 380-395AD. Is the belief that Jesus existed before His birth truly biblical? In this expositional Bible talk, we carefully examine the claim of Christ’s pre-existence, analyzing key Scriptures to reveal what the Bible actually teaches. Many assume this doctrine is foundational—but does the New Testament support it? Join us as we explore John 1, Colossians 1, Proverbs 8, and more in a thought-provoking study that challenges traditional interpretations. ### **📖 Chapters (Timestamps)** 00:00 - Introduction 03:12 - Defining Pre-existence: Biblical or Extra-Biblical? 09:45 - John 1:1-14: “The Word Was God” – Context Matters 17:30 - Colossians 1:15-20: “Firstborn of All Creation” Explained 25:18 - Proverbs 8:22-31: Wisdom’s Role vs. Literal Pre-existence 33:05 - Hebrews 1:1-4: God’s Son, Not a Pre-incarnate Being 40:50 - Common Proof Texts for Pre-existence Refuted 47:15 - Conclusion: What Scripture Clearly Reveals [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSVVQ6gLSW4[/embedyt] ### **📜 Bible Verses Discussed** ✝️ **John 1:1-14** – The Word’s Divine Nature ✝️ **Colossians 1:15-20** – Christ as the Firstborn ✝️ **Proverbs 8:22-31** – Wisdom Personified ✝️ **Hebrews 1:1-4** – God’s Final Revelation in His Son ✝️ **Philippians 2:5-11** – The Humility of Christ ✝️ **1 Corinthians 15:45-47** – The Last Adam 🔔 **For more wonderful biblical studies, subscribe and receive notifications when we post new content!** 📌 **Tags:** false teaching of pre existence, pre existence of Christ, Jesus pre existence, John 1 explained, Colossians 1 15, Proverbs 8 22, Hebrews 1 1, biblical unitarianism, true nature of Christ, Bible study on Jesus 💬 **We’d love to hear your thoughts!** Were you taught that Jesus pre-existed?
