You are reading into this verse much more than it states.
No I am not,I am amplifying what it means !
For example, Has God EVER been without wisdom?
Who said that ?
To claim that "set up" refers to a point in eternity when God was without wisdom or The Son of God became the "Christ" (annointed) is absurd.
Nobody said God was without wisdom. And to point out that Christ was begotten as Mediator before the world began is scriptural, Christ is God's Only Begotten Son. Christ's Deity was not Begotten, for it ever eternally existed. Now I bet you believe that Christ's Deity was begotten or derived from the Father before the world began, don't you ?
In the eternal purpose of God he was the appointed heir AS A MAN who came into this world and redeemed back the creation of God from the ruin of sin, thus becoming its rightful owner AS A MAN. This right had been given to Adam AS A MAN but Adam failed and fell and lost his right as heir of creation - to rule over it.
The Mediator Man Christ was a Man before Creation, He was Heir as He made the World or the ages Heb 1:2
2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,
whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
God Created all things by Jesus Christ Eph 3:9
9And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God,
who created all things by Jesus Christ:
In Prove 8 :22
22The
LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
The LXX has it more precise :
The Lord made me the beginning of his ways
for his works.
In other words, He was the Firstborn of Creation as mediator in order to be the medium by which God would make the World, that is what Eph 3:9 points out. Christ's Mediatoral Office was also to be the medium of Creation, and as Mediator He was the Man Christ Jesus 1 Tim 2:5, but not in Flesh and Blood form. So you continue to manifest your ignorance of the True Christ !
Rediculous! There is no "TIME" in eternity
[
edited] however the scripture states I was
set up from everlasting, no specific date as to time as how we know it !
The purpose of God is ETERNAL as God Himself and there is no POINT when God was without his Purpose!
[
edited] who said God was without a Purpose at sometime ?
This is talking about PHYSICAL creation not SPIRITUAL creation!
[
edited] when God Created Adam, but nevertheless, Adam was Created in the Image of the God Man Mediator Christ Jesus.
He did not create SOME of mankind in Adam but ALL die IN ADAM including the non-elect!
No He did not, God Created the Church in Adam, after the Image of Christ, but only in their Natural Lives, the seed of the serpent was never created in the Image of God, thats Blasphemy ! To ever refer to God's Image as having the Devil as it;s Father Jn 8:44 is utter Blasphemy. Jesus refers to the Devil as a Father [Spiritually] this gives us to know that The devil had his seed created in him as did adam. Thats why he was a Father in the beginning Jn 8:44 and gen 3:15.
The "seed" of Satan refer to all those born with as "children of disobedience" and "children of wrath" with the same depraved nature as Satan and includes ALL OF FALLEN MANKIND IN ADAM and that is why SOME must be "born again" proving that SPIRITUAL CREATION has not occurred until new birth as clearly stated in Ephesians 2:10
More Blasphemy and Lies. The Elect being born as sinners and as Children of wrath by Nature, makes them
Vessels of Mercy, for all their sins and iniquities have been Charged to Christ, however, the seed of the serpents being born sinners makes them vessels of wrath and are being fitted for destruction. There is not even no comparison.
SOME must be "born again" proving that SPIRITUAL CREATION has not occurred until new birth as clearly stated in Ephesians 2:10.
Some are born Again to manifest their seed existence that they had in Christ, Just as they were born naturally to manifest their seed existence in Adam. Their seed existence in Christ was before the foundation of the World, ever since Christ was Created or Begotten as Mediator. And since there is no actual time in Eternity, we can only say that this generation of the Mediatoral Manhood of Christ with His Seed in Him to place from Everlasting !
Their New birth in time also proves that they because of Christ's Death for them they were entitled to Life, Spiritual Life, so its called Justification of Life Rom 5:18
18Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men
unto justification of life.
Justification is a Legal Term and Life is a principal of Life they have communicated to them because of their Justification, that Life is New Birth, a Life they had preserved in God the Word Christ Jesus Jn 1:4,14
4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
