ArchivedImmaculate conception and assumption of MaryRomeSweetHome, I do know how to use a concordance, and I have 2 Bible study programs in my computer with a total of about 25 different translations complete with a concordance for each translation. I also have what is known as an Englishman's Concordance. This is a nice thing to have since you can enter the Strong's number and it will display every verse that has that word in it and how it is translated. I already posted this once, but since you won't believe it here it is again. Every verse that contains the Greeks Stong's number: NT:4416
prototokos (pro-tot-ok'-os); from NT:4413 and the alternate of NT:5088; first-born (usually as noun, literally or figuratively):
KJV - firstbegotten (-born).

If you think you can understand an infinite God with your finite mind you had better rethink your ego. God can be the first begotton and be the creator at the same time. After all, He was the Son in the Flesh and the Father in heaven at the same time and you can add to that the Holy Spirit who performed Christ's miracles.
