NO...Jesus was with God before the foundations

....heaven according to what is written in our bibles


Still stuck on Jesus not being God ?

Is Jesus sitting on God's lap? Revelation refers to one throne

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.Rev 22:1


Quote:
garee says;
Without father, without mother, without descent,
having neither beginning of days, nor end of life;
but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. Heb 7:3

Andrews thoughts; This is reffering to "Melchizedek
king of Salem, whom is a Priest of the Most High God." (Hebrew 7:1-3)

God will raise up another Priest in the likeness of
Melchizedek. (Hebrews 7:11-19)

The Greatness of this new Priest...Hebrews 7:20-28


This person/priest cannot be anyone but the Son of God who appeared more than once in the old testament.

We read about him in Hebrews 7. And in connection with Melchizedek we understand from Hebrews 7 that he appeared to Abraham back in the Old Testament. In the language of Hebrews 7, however, we discover that Melchizedek was actually God Himself. The language will not permit any other understanding but that He was God Himself.
We read in verse 1 of Hebrews 7, "For this Melchizedek, King of Salem, Priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him, to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being by interpretation King of Righteousness [now the only King of Righteousness is God, the Lord Jesus Christ], and after that also King of Salem, that is, King of Peace."

Remember what the angel declared when Jesus was born? "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace." Remember what Isaiah said concerning the coming Messiah? That He would be the Prince of Peace. More than that, in verse 3 of Hebrews 7 He declares, "without father, without mother." Do you know anyone else who was without father or mother, except Adam and Eve? No. Nobody at all
was without father or without mother. Only Adam and Eve.
But it also says, "having neither beginning of days nor end of life."

Now Adam and Eve had beginning of days and had end of life. And therefore it cannot be referring to Adam and Eve. It can
only refer to God. He has no beginning, He has no end, He is without father or mother. He is from everlasting to everlasting.
"but made like unto the Son of God, abideth a priest continually [or forever]." He was a figure of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was a type of the eternal priesthood of Christ Himself. In order to establish typology in the Old Testament, God did set up a great number of types in the Old Testament.
Abraham was a type of God, Moses was a type of Christ, David was a type of Christ, Elijah was a type of John the Baptist, and so forth.

In order to establish a perfect type of the character and nature of the priesthood of the Lord Jesus Christ, there was no man who would be a perfect type, and so God Himself appeared in the form of a man. He did not take on a human nature, He did not become man as He did when Jesus Christ
became man, but He did appear in the form of a man, in the person of Melchizedek, in order to set up a type, a perfect type of the eternal character of the priesthood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
