Exclusively Christian TheologyThis forum is exclusively for those who consider themselves Christian and consider the Bible to be the inspired word of God.
What about creature? Why is creature in this verse?
Firstborn can be both positional and first to be born, it is BOTH in this verse.
See my post #705 immediately above.
