>>510190901>Colossians 1:15 - He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation>Revelations 3:14 - โ... These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God,As I understand them, in God by faith we are created anew and become His, the firstborns brothers. For Revelation, referring to John 1 as without Him nothing was created, but in Him everything was created, as also is my understanding of Colossians 1:16
>>510190981Regarding Proverbs, it is my understanding that what is being spoken of is wisdom that comes by God, specifically not Jesus as the wisdom of God, a fine distinction. Wisdom in Proverbs is spoken of in the feminine, something I'm sure neither you or I would call Jesus in. Not just in that chapter, but the context is also continuing throughout 9.
>>5101911101 Corinthians 8:5-6
Speaking of false gods who are not gods, you will also see this in the OT. In context, in verse 8 Paul goes to speak
>Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.Idols, or false gods, though they maybe called gods are still no gods, as you'll find this description of the one True God mocking all the false gods also.
In John 10 as in Exodus and Psalms 82, I see it that we are given the power to judge (or rule, as it were) men as God judges men, not that we literally become as He is, infinite, all-knowing, omnipotent.
Again, I hope that you find use and blessing from this
