Dear Eiko,

I hope im not bombarding you with too much information.

How are you?

I was reading your email from a few days back and you had many inquisitions ,and as i said, i want to answer them all..

Thus this email is hopefully answering your question as to whether if Jesus was created by God and lived countless aeons of years before humans were even created themselves, how is it that the bible says that he would be a descendant of Abraham.

Once again ,the Bible answers that question.

Matthew 1:1-16 and Luke 3:23-38 show the Lineage of Jesus Christ all the way from his very first descendants.

Please have a look at these verses briefly if you have 2 moments.

However, this Lineage means only his earthly lineage,his earthly life after he was born on earth.....it doesnt include his life in heaven...

The scriptures in Matthew and Luke merely give us an insight into Jesus EARTHLY lineage..

Jesus was created countless of aeons,countless of years before any physical human was created on the earth.
The Bible says at Colossians 1:15 and 16 that Jesus is "the firstborn of all creation.."

This means that Jesus was created before anything else and anybody else.

Furthermore,at Proverbs 8:22 to 31 show also that Jesus was in heaven long before the earth itself was created...please read them:

22 Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago. 23 From time indefinite I was installed, from the start, from times earlier than the earth. 24 When there were no watery deeps I was brought forth as with labor pains, when there were no springs heavily charged with water. 25 Before the mountains themselves had been settled down, ahead of the hills, I was brought forth as with labor pains, 26 when as yet he had not made the earth and the open spaces and the first part of the dust masses of the productive land. 27 When he prepared the heavens I was there; when he decreed a circle upon the face of the watery deep, 28 when he made firm the cloud masses above, when he caused the fountains of the watery deep to be strong, 29 when he set for the sea his decree that the waters themselves should not pass beyond his order, when he decreed the foundations of the earth, 30 then I came to be beside him as a master worker, and I came to be the one he was specially fond of day by day, I being glad before him all the time, 31 being glad at the productive land of his earth, and the things I was fond of were with the sons of men.

I have purposely underlined the parts of those verses that especially show that Jesus had been alive for along time despite not being all the time on our physical earth.

However, later at John 3:16 Jehovah God through his servant John said in his famous words "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."

Thus at Matthew 1:18..it tell us that by the "holy spirit" God loving sent his Son to die for our sins..Jesus was transferred from heaven by means of Gods active force,his "holy spirit" into the womb of Mary.

Jesus was thus born , even though he had actually been living in heaven for countless of years before humans were even created.

Jehovahs will was that his Son would come down to earth to give his life...The earthly lineage given at Matthew 1 and Luke 3 give evidence that in an earthly or physical way,Jesus truly became a descendant of Abraham...Jesus was born from Mary who was in the Lineage of Abraham also.

Thus there is no contradiction in the Bible as to Jesus' source,where he came from or anything else.

He is the son of the almightly God who has limitless power to accomplish anything he wants or needs in order to satisfy his will.

In this case he sent his Son lovingly by means of his great Power ,wisdom and Justice in order for all mankind including you and I to be redeemed of our Sins.

I hope i answered your question...

There really isnt anything tricky about this subject..the Bible answers it clearly.

But as usual,if i perhaps didnt make it clear to you personally,please let me know,and i can explain more simple and my other reference material.


Anyway,i look forward to seeing you again...until then have an enjoyable week.

Carlos
