- How does the plague of the firstborn from Exodus fit into the biblical theme of the firstborn? And what does it mean when Yahweh calls Israel his firstborn son? In this episode, Tim and Jon explore the theme of the firstborn in the Exodus scroll.

When I read it I think of it as when we read that we are born into iniquity is because of the sins of our fathers. We are not held accountable to this sin but we often fall victim to the same fate of these sins because we are not choosing to actively heal from them. Or allow God to cleanse us of them. I believe it’s where the thought of generational curses. If the enemy knows this is what your forefathers dealt with then he can make the assumption that these same problems will befall you and stumble you to pull you away from the favor and blessing and calling God has for your life.
This series on First Born has been so interesting, informative and intense. Really learning a lot! Enjoying listening!
What I noticed with the Sodom and Gamorrah incident is that God STILL gave them as much time as possible. Noticed how God was walking with His angels? He didn’t just warp over to Sodom and proclaim judgment but He gave them the length of time it took to walk, meet up with Abraham, have a meal, talk to both Sarah and Abraham, and entertained Abraham’s attempts at intercession. It was like, He’s stalling. He knew what was going on there and yet took His time, as if to give them still a chance to repent.
That's an excellent point!
I do not have nearly the same level of study or understanding of the Bible as Tim or Job, but I view the 10th plague as a reflection of Pharaoh's decision to do the same to the Israelites. And I trust that whatever provision God gave to the baby boys who were thrown in the river, he provided the same for the firstborn of Egypt. Thank you again for all of the amazing content you all have provided to us. I look forward to following this and many other series.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." -John 14:6
I'm hooked on this series ty
I believe generations suffer consequences from the sin of their fathers but God doesn't hold them accountable in the sense they will stand b4 God on their own account. Each one of us has a chance of redemption but we also live in a sinful world and sometimes suffer consequences of just that.
I was literally just thinking about how to teach my future children about firstborns. Me being the last, I need to study up so I don't leave my own future firstborn in the dark about what God wants from him/her compared to the rest of the siblings.
If I can offer a thought; it may be that the idea of a first born isn't as important as trust in God. In my mind, things go sideways when we attempt to lift something (or someone) to a higher status based on external factors. It is often said that Jesus could see into a man's heart and that's an ability we do not have and, as such, should withhold anything that resembles a "title of nobility."
@@tczubernat I agree that the idea of trusting in God is much more important. I think it's safe to say all things boil down to that. I would say trusting in God is like addition/multiplication/etc in math. It's the basics and is always needed no matter how complicated things may seem. Learning about possible firstborn duties is just extra like algebra/calculus/etc. You graduate from one step to the next. I just want to make sure I have the right knowledge so I can pass down the correct level of importance of said knowledge. My parents left and still leave me in the dark about a lot. I am not that kind of person, so I will learn what I must to pass it down correctly. Besides, maybe something applies to me and how I should treat or understand my eldest sibling
Tim and Jon, thank you for being truthful and upfront about your struggles with the tenth plague in this particular podcast. It’s not too often you find a ministry that is willing to be real and transparent with the struggles that are being wrestled with in the scriptures. I completely agree with Tim, I believe some things we question about the very nature and character about God, as revealed to us in His word, are a part of the journey. We may mentally struggle with it, we can pray about it, it may rock us to our core and our spirit. But somethings are not so black and white in their meaning and understanding as a modern reader. As a devout listener and follower of The Bible Project, I would love to hear an episode, series or dialogue about the Ezekiel 18 comparison of Yahweh. And the tenth plague comparison of Yahweh from your perspectives. That would be very interesting.
Thanks for all you do, Bible Project team!
I agree. I find if i just "hide it in my heart," as time goes on, i see Scripture clearer, and life is like living Scripture... i do not know how to explain that, except you can see the essence of stories and verses replaying in ourselves, others, and the world around us so that it brings to mind Scripture. The Holy Spirit seems to suddenly highlight it, and then we get a tiny understanding of meaning or forecast. A bit of an "a-ha" moment. We were just reading Romans 9. I was trying to explain to my son with Down Syndrome... not easy... but i get more than he does as i make this attempt. The stumbling stone... my son has trouble seeing and is stunned when he falls over something right in front of him. I think we do, too, and must pray for better eyes to see that the God who can actually block our vision for His purposes, will also hear our prayers for Light. He obviously loves a humble heart. I cannot remember Him resisiting an earnest seeker, can you? Some things are rather hidden until He wants them revealed, of course. Some things we cannot possibly understand because the fullness of that time is not yet, which is why John struggled with his visions. But, i think we can now see how some meaning is being revealed as a mirror showing us some surprising things, not at all as we expected, wrote about, made movies about. The "they" is us. How horrifying and humbling. The very family appointed by God turned their backs on their Savior, but so have we, the grafted family, by creating our own version of Christianity. It is not new, but a new and larger version world-wide, of an adulterous church. It stunned me to realize it is we who are now betraying our Christ with a false religion. How incredibly tragically sad. Only by truly seeking and studying Scripture in humility, as the Bible Project is showing us, can we get free of a man-made concept of Christianity. We must. I think The Bible Project is this generation's Billy Graham. I am made so joyful and hopeful by this incredibly devoted team! I have a new peace seeing how nany are searching earnestly. May God bless them to continue as they are.
Well, i am older now and see things in a larger picture than i used to. I hope this makes some sense. 😄❤️🙌
Hi brothers and sisters. If you can pray for me and my family, Id really appreciate that. I feel like Im losing my mind with all the problems Im currently facing. My relationship with my family is getting worse, I just lost my job again and still unable to get accepted to a new one, I have so much on my shoulders rn - my pappa already run out of meds, we barely have food, bills are past due, rent is almost due and Idk where I would get money for all of these. Idk what to do anymore. It feels like Im running in circles.
Please pray for us. Help us, if you can. 🙏
I pray in Jesus name that God will bless you and meet all of your needs in Jesus name. Take hope and know where your source is. Jesus is for us and he is with us through the highs and lows.
@@nirekiawilson7107 amen 🙏 Thank you for praying. I really needed this. GOD bless you. ❤️
I will pray for you but maybe I can help you find resources too?? If anyone in your home is low-income, on disability or has Medicare or state funded medical insurance, I am pretty resourceful and might be able to help you find some programs in your area to help take some of the burden off. I would need a general area though like your county and state. I am sorry you lost your job and have family struggles.
I just read your about section, probably should have done that first. Am I to understand you aren't in the United States? I will still try to help you find resources even if you aren't.
@@xbrandi12345x hi. No, Im not from Usa. Unfortunately. I did everything I can to find whatever I can find but its a little town in a 3rd world country, everyone is also trying their best to survive. So here I am trying to find my way to feed my family this way, holdin on to every ounce of miracle i can get. I appreciate your kimd suggestion tho. Thank you for the prayer as well. I really need that rn. GOD bless you always. ❤️❤️❤️
It is difficult to think that the very young and most innocent of humans can pay the price for the sins of the King of Egypt. However, the punishment was just, boys were killed by Pharaoh and his people so they were repaid for their wickedness by losing their own first born, but not by the hand of those they wronged but by the hand of God, the only just one. He did say "vengence is mine, I will repay".
The death of any innocent is sad but death is the payment for sin.
David experienced the same kind of judgement in this regard.
Yes, and even for the Egyptians God made a way of escape which does reflect the goodness of God.
Robert! Way to go. Creative director? This is amazing. You are a huge part of The Bible Project. They could not do it without you. I am so grateful that God put you here.
I've really been enjoying the Firstborn series thus far. Looking forward to next week's episode.
It's also a nice touch to start introducing other staff members that help create the BibleProject.
You all gave some good meditation topics here, particularly in talking about Jesus and God's wrath and God's mercy.
They are NOT being held accountable for the dad's sins. They just suffer the reaping of the consequences of sin.
Jesus as firstborn died and he was innocent too...for us!
Thank you for helping me out with this ❤️ 🙏 💕 Amen 👪 🙏 🙌
52:43 ADONAI knows the heart of humans. He sees what we cannot. Even in an infant. The struggle is; do you trust that He is a loving Father? His ways are not our ways and that’s why we are called to have “fear of the Lord”.
With the Exodus story, an aspect is being neglected: Israel wasn’t meant to stay in Egypt; they were supposed to go back to the land of Canaan. By overstaying in Egypt they self inflicted their own oppression. This can be seen even after the Exodus when the Israelites wished they could be back in Egypt. You have to see the double edge of the Word of God: Egypt enslaved Israel because Israel had become slaves to Egypt. The plagues are punishment to Egypt. But how many Israelites died in the Exodus? You must see the judgement of God in all of its facets.
Jesus Is King👑
Have a Great Day ❤
Hi loveing this podcast
The Thanos was right reference and Tony's sacrifice was great😂
help us Lord to wait for the good things you want to give us
Thanks for sharing this episode! Blessings from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic!
God Loves YOU...
Yes , i struggle with understanding the suffering later for those that came before and how God calls groups, cities, and countries are like they are persons who continue to exist in His mind...and who still await more judgment! Why do the many faithful suffer the consequences of evil societies? History is full of it and even now with the Ukraine. Another is some famous Christian leaders being so horrid, like Luther and Calvin. They were so beneficial yet so lacking in love and compassion. Galations 5 and 1Cor 13 gives such a stark comparison. Yet, God Himself, a just and merciful God, seems so unmerciful at times or seems to ignore horrors. All i can think is that i am not looking through God's window. I need to move and find the clearer window. I guess it keeps us searching and asking the Lord for answers. I know He says the rain falls on the just and unjust...and in the fulfiment of time and martyrs, the horror will end forever. God is not in a hurry like we are. Maybe He has not time...everything to him is now. This comment does not seem to make sense. I hope it does make sense to someone.
Could it be that any father cruel enough NOT to save his son , God may be simply saving that son from more evil?
These guys crack me up for some reason 😅
These family dimensions still exist today. Very interesting
Absolutely accurate in everything you were discussing. Exodus actually took place on Passover of 1440bc. The pharaoh Thutmose III. The daughter that took Moses out of the water was Hatshepsut.
Another point I should tell you is that God cares a lot about babies and children. I learned how much he cared about this in the verse of Luke 10:21. I am one of the few that understood this verse.
My testimony is really all about that verse. You can see my testimony by watching on TH-cam called rapture apocalypse testimony 2018
I disagree that Jacob was a snake of a man. He was no more a snake than David, if you think about it. He worked hard and did not steal Rebecca. He was good to Leah and did not divorce her, poor girl. He loved Rebecca so much that he worked under the authority of a snake of a man for so many years with no hope of having a life of his own with her. He could have just run off with her, but he had incredible patience and came up with a great plan to use a man's greed to help him and his family break away from tyranny. God chose him, so could you scrub that phrase from your recording? People seem to relish calling him names. He blew it about his brother. His mother encouraged that deception probably alĺ his life. His brother was a pompous jerk at that time, too. Later, the Bible makes it clear that God chose Jacob for his own purposes. Did God participate in evil in that choice? Jacob was also humble, patient, respectful, and intelligent. He was not paid properly for all he did. I do not see that he actually harmed his father in law. His father in law was just using him, and after MANY years, it backfired. Jacob humbled himself to his brother and, yes, was rightfully scared, but probably gave back as much as he may have stolen in his deception...and God chose him, not his brother. Both had matured. All of our heroes with the One exception had flaws, but they were part of a bigger plan. All were loved and probably forgiven. Only God knows. Do we want to be labeled forever by our youthful indiscretions?
That's an interesting take. We all are snakes at varying moments in our lives, we're imperfect. I think John and Tim know that. God uses imperfect people. However, asking creators to "scrub" their opinions just because you don't agree seems dictatorial, just like it would be dictatorial if they removed comments they didn't agree with. Respect the learning process by allowing exchange (especially when it's respectful). Plus, I don't think most Christians struggle with accepting that Jacob isn't a bad person, considering it's one of the most common male names today.
@kbird0 i certainly was not dictating, but requesting. They are noble people and kindly with the Lord's kindness. Calling him a snakely person does not fit their character nor their style of teaching. My opinion is being offered, not demanded. I am sorry that you misunderstood and that i did not clearly communicate for you.
Gods given me healing hands an more, I'm confused too who I ask for help. I've meet healers/priests who get jealous or try and micro manage me and it drives me to hide my gifts. I love Jesus but I can't stand when people choose to be no good. I hated Christianity for colonizing my maori people but not even my own caulture have answers to how I spiritually operate. Gods faith test is turning me bitter, I need help... please pray for me Please jesus help me manage these gifts PLEASE amen 🙏
Jacob is a snake of a man? Wow. Abraham must have been a very bad judge of character then because he gave his blessing to Jacob. In fact, the last thing he did before he slept the sleep of death was enumerate his blessings on Jacob. Abraham also reiterated to Rebecca that he chose Jacob instead of Esau. That's the reason why she and her younger son conspired to get Isaac's blessing. Not because he was a devious, snake of a man, but because it was his grandfather's wish. You know, the guy whom Yahuah BESTOWED his promise?
They explained this in an earlier episode. "Snake of a man" seems to refer more to when someone is acting a specific way at a specific time, not how they are throughout their whole life. Remember that Abraham was going to give the blessing to Esau, even though God wanted it to go to Jacob, but Abraham but gave it to Jacob because Jacob impersonated Esau.
@@elizabethshaw7472 you must mean Isaac and not Abraham. And Abraham blessed Yakob and explicitly told Rebecca that Isaac's blessing must be given to Yakob and not Esau. The guy even died blessing his younger grandson.
Thank u all.
It seems that Egypt received their moment of offered redemption, or substitute sacrifice. Pharoah only had to sacrifice his ego. He didn't. The same thing kept happening to the Hebrew Kings. Expediency and ego.
Firstborn accountability. God isn't holding the first born to blame, he is teaching his parent how to be a responsible empathetic leader. Same reason why all of us are corrected because of the mistake of Adam and Eve. In the Army, if you are training a new junior leader, you punish the subordinates when they screw up, until they eventually get it. Their choices impact others.
Also interesting how Iron Man is the "firstborn" in the MCU, but in-universe the late-comer, as we later learn Thanos happens to be this self-appointed ruler (who is willing to sacrifice even his first-daughter) because he thinks there is no enough resources (Not enough blessing to share), and decided to take all the power from himself and take away the choice from others to do what he thinks is necessary.
I always thought of the death of the first born as a remnant
I was literally thinking why are first borns cursed and boom this video is uploaded😅
I'm going through some problems with my sister and she's the oldest. I'm going to listen to this teaching.
I'm firstborn, my crush is firstborn. We kinda feel cursed too. Lol.
@@AnnaBulaklak369 I'm not the firstborn but I do sometimes feel like I'm cursed but it's not true because I'm loved by Jesus and blessed because I know know him.
Does that happen to you often? It does to me. I will think about something and not speak about it out loud or look anything up on my phone about it and suddenly I will get something in my feed about whatever I was thinking. This may make me sound like a nut but sometimes I wonder if they have found a way to pick up the electrical impulses in my brain with my phone and analyze them so they can fine tune my feeds and ads. Sadly, it wouldn't surprise me. I used to think people that said stuff like this were off their rocker but then I aged into my 30's and started learning about things in this world I had never known about before and the hard truth is that these companies will do anything, no matter how invasive, to make more money and make their product seem better but this stuff where my phone seems to 'read my mind' has happened multiple times, too many for me to think it's just by chance and it creeps me out. Nothing surprises me anymore and if they had such an ability they wouldn't want us to know about it because people would be mad.
@@xbrandi12345x it's not the first time it's pretty scary and I also wouldn't be shocked if they somehow mad it to our brains these are the end times
Couldn't it just be the same as those responsible, when they sin or do good, those under them are affected. Like the plastic islands you spoke of...when Adam and eve sinned, all creation suffered. All life has this though. Bad dads cause wives and kids to suffer...
Ahhhh yeees Bible Project time
Fyi, I may be mistaken, but Ham was not trying to take over from his father. He mocked his father's nakedness.
Help me with this if you can? Why was it a snake on a staff that Moses gave them to look at when they needed saved. It was supposed to represent looking to Christ on the cross right? Why would Christ be represented as a snake? Obviously they did bad and started worshipping that snake instead of Christ but I just don’t know why a snake or serpent was used.
Because it the Israelites needed to be saved from snakes during that time. So the snakes--the symbol of their suffering--became a tool for salvation through the staff, just as the cross--a symbol of death and the ultimate punishment--became a tool for salvation.
How is Jacob a snake when stupid Esau sold his birthright like it meant nothing to him? You can't get the blessing without the birthright! Esau is NO innocent, look at his actions! Esau was his own worst enemy!
They explained this in an earlier episode. "Snake of a man" seems to refer more to when someone is acting a specific way at a specific time, not how they are throughout their whole life. Remember that Abraham was going to give the blessing to Esau, even though God wanted it to go to Jacob, but Abraham but gave it to Jacob because Jacob impersonated Esau.
@@elizabethshaw7472 Ok...first of all Elizabeth...you might want to invest in a reparable bible and actually read it.
Abraham is the Grandfather not the Father of Esau and Jacob. Esau sold his birthright and if you actually read the scriptures then you would know that the birthright and blessing go hand in hand.
Here's wishing you peace and enlightenment. ✌
Great video guys.
What is the name of the music in 51:00?
Anybody notice The narrator voice talking in conversation format🤣
Also, remember even Sodom and Gomorrah, had there been even 5 or 10? righteous, he would not have taken everyone out. There had to be babies there too who, like in Elisha's time, those kids grew to be even more evil than their scornful parents
I guess I will have to go back and listen to the earlier podcast to understand why there is a thought that Adam was not in charge in creation immediately following Eve being created from Adam's rib. That's not how I understand the story though. It seems that the patriarchal structure was in place from the beginning and was not a function of the Fall.
He is given the responsibility and authority of naming her…for some reason known only to G-d.
Herod and Pharoah slaughtered all kinds of infants, then went off to feast and wipe their mouths. All those Hebrew babies suffered too.
Regardless of having trouble with God killing first born children, it is consistent with the idea of sowing and reaping. The Egyptians sowed by killing the first-born Hebrews, so they reaped the same thing.
Background music is so distracting
Dial it down a bit
Why you dont collaborate with Jonathan and Matthew Pageau?
I think it would be a good idea to try!
Thanos could have doubled the size of the universe. His actions were murder. Just saying.
In Jonah he spares the children!
Hierarchical structures are inevitable. The moment God created anything, a hierarchy emerges: Creator > creature.
Now, it is misguided to read Genesis 1 and say that humanity is the firstborn and leave it at that. In Genesis 2, Adam is clearly the firstborn. Adam is created first. Adam names the woman just as he named the animals.
If you don’t like hierarchy, then you don’t like God’s creation. God establishes the hierarchy because His at the top.
I think it’s fair to say that there is some hierarchy inherent in our reality, but I think we have to be careful with the sentiment on how that hierarchy functions. It’s dangerous to divorce the ideal of hierarchy from how god wants up to behave in it. The way God wants up to do is lift other above us in the system. Humans apart from that will clamor over each other in power grabs and backstabbing. Humans were never meant to claim the ladder for their own sake but help others climb it. We must never forget that.
@@russellwilliams5065 The Divine Hierarchy is different from the world hierarchy. On that we agree.
But there are aspects of life where hierarchy exist, cannot be revoked and must be upheld. One of those is the hierarchy of parents and children. Children must honor their parents. In a Christian marriage, the husband is the head. If a woman tries to become the head, she’d be going against God’s design. To assert the right order in relationships is good and loving. To oppose the right order in relationships is wrong and sinful.
@@nelsoncamachotirado6967 yet there is still this missing component of selfless service that is a linchpin to the gospel. I am assuming you’re a man which conveniently puts you at the top of the hierarchy you just explained. That can create some blinders that make it hard for you to understand that the over focus on that hierarchy and how you fit into it could be causing harm. In order to be first you must be last. And to say if people are deviating from how you perceive things are sinners is dangerous language because our hum perspective is very narrow and instinctively molded by our culture. Selfless love takes priority over hierarchy in my humble opinion.
Perhaps those sons who did die of those wretched fathers would have been more monstrous...like with Judas, would have been better if he had never been born.
Isnt there a part where aaron and his sister get jealous of moses and try to overthrow him? So God punishes them by giving the sister lesions or something and Moses is like, why do you abhor God’s chosen one? Or something? So there was a sort of rivalry.
Numbers 12:1-15 tells us that Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses. God was angry with them and spoke correction to them from a pillar of cloud. When the cloud had withdrawn from them, Miriam was leprous. Aaron begged Moses to not hold their sin against them. Moses cried out to the LORD for Miriam to be healed. She bore her shame for seven days then was recieved again.
Humans were meant to have dominion over the host of Heaven? The stars and planets? My reading says only over the creatures on Earth. Ps 15 confirms this.
Jacob a "devious snake"? Hardly. Jacob used the gifts he had versus those of superior endowments. He worked hard...no more "devious" than anyone else, imo. Good otherwise, imo
They explained this in an earlier episode. "Snake of a man" seems to refer more to when someone is acting a specific way at a specific time, not how they are throughout their whole life. Remember that Abraham was going to give the blessing to Esau, even though God wanted it to go to Jacob, but Abraham but gave it to Jacob because Jacob impersonated Esau.
What religion or foundation are you afiliated?
I wondered why Caanan was cursed not Ham but wondered if Noah's wife was Noah's nakedness because they are one in union of marriage and Ham slept with her not his mother but maybe a second wife I have read she was Cains descendant from Tubalcane maybe she was a different color so Noah knew when Caanan was born. Maybe the wives were different colors maybe not the sons ... not sure wondering if you knew more or I am wrong?
✝️
If Aron is the 1st born then how was he not the not one who was saved by the mother, and Moses was?
It's a matter of timing. The pharaoh ordered all male infants to be killed. Aaron wasn't a baby, but his newborn brother was.
A bad dad or mom can abort or abuse their child. To me, that's the same idea. Why God hates sin is because it affects others so badly.
Not at all. Lets think of GOD. The almighty GOD. The superpower of GOD that we miss sometimes is that he can see ahead into our future. Think about all the things that happened and how there was always a kind anger towards those doubtful of him and his power over all creation. We must think of GOD as our real loving father that always knows what will happen to us if we dont listen to his wise words.
Hey
🙏🏿
That name Yahweh the Hebrew Israelites got punished for that name
What if, there IS enough for everyone and the earth could sustain the current and future populations without any man-made interference? Just what if, yunno?
✝️ 🙏🏻
Alot of straw man arguements here, first the creation story has nothing with God elevating the least. Adam is the First of his kind not the last to come to a party or something. Created last doesnt demean them instead it shows Gods focus on humanity as hebrew said "to the son, he elevated above angels".
They're not saying the creation story is only about God elevating the least, they're saying that God elevating the last (Adam is the first human, but humanity's the last thing created, that's what they're going for) is a theme that's been present since the beginning. They go in more detail how and why they came to these conclusions in an earlier episode. Their one-sentence claims that it was there is based on the assumption that you've been following the whole series and don't need a full recap.
@@elizabethshaw7472 I followed the full series. God gave the right of the firstborn to the firstborn but alot of the firstborns in the bible lost their right by their own doing not by a convoluted system of always picking the last
This is too long for me. But I like your shorter animated videos.
Neither Jew or Gentile bond or free Male or female all one in Christ ...
We in Christ all become first born in Christ born again into Christ his body to be first born to inherit the Kingdom of God to rein with Christ the King!
In Christ.
The new Earth
The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world Christ
Able is a sort of Lamb
Cain is a sort of satan ...
Esau did a lot of harm a lot of his descendants like King Herrod were very evil.
What?
devious snake of a man??? you're out of your mind - he was one of the smartest men alive - Esau was a snake of a man - God loved Jacob butt (🤔) hated Esau ... Jacob was genius - he only offered his *hot soup* to his brother in exchange for an eternal blessing from God - free will- brilliant & then he obeyed his mother - a other good move - and then he was blessed like no other man has - it took awhile for Esau *the snake of a man* to calm down ... Jacob becomes Israel - brilliant I say
I think the point Tim and John are making was that Jacob didn't need to offer hot soup to Esau for the blessing - or do anything for the blessing for that matter - because God had already promised the blessing to Jacob and would have given it at the right time. However Jacob and his mother were impatient for Jacob to receive the blessing, so took advantage of Esau when he was in a vulnerable position (i.e. extremely hungry) to obtain the blessing. It wasn't a smart move on Jacob's behalf, it was a sneaky move.
They explained this in an earlier episode. "Snake of a man" seems to refer more to when someone is acting a specific way at a specific time, not how they are throughout their whole life. Remember that Abraham was going to give the blessing to Esau, even though God wanted it to go to Jacob, but Abraham but gave it to Jacob because Jacob impersonated Esau.

I'm so proud of you
Isn’t Jesus a firstborn?
Jesus is a Muslim
Jesus said: “ Indeed, I am the servant of Allah.
He has given me the scripture and made me a Prophet.”
Quran 19:30
“For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of Him who sent me.”
John 6:38
Jesus isn't a Muslim because that would make him a legalist who has no relationship with the Father.
Show me in the Bible where it says Jesus is a Muslim. Mohammed concocted the koran in rebellion towards those he was pathologically jealous of. The Jews. The chosen people.
