What Does Pre-human Existence Really Mean? [10 pages]
by Ray Faircloth rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)
Jehovah’s Witnesses and the various Bible Student groups teach that Jesus, on earth, was fully human and was the equal of the pristine Adam. This teaching means that he was not a hybrid - part human/part spirit creature. Yet these denominations also teach that Jesus had a pre-human existence, having been created as a spirit before the Genesis creation. Then at the time of Jesus’ conception the spirit creature’s life was transferred to Mary’s womb. The Bible Student groups generally do not accept the Jehovah’s Witnesses teaching that Jesus was previously the archangel Michael; but nevertheless they believe that he previously was a spirit person existing in heaven.

The bible teaches monotheism - that God alone is the only one who is truly God. This sermon endeavors to highlight key texts from both the old and new testaments where the Greek word "monos" is used in reference to God's personality and nature to clearly identify Him as a single, one and only God. (This sermon was originally preached at the Red Words Church on 11-Oct-2009 in Melbourne, Australia.)
