Line 49:
Line 49: − − * John − ** John 8:58 ("Jesus replied: 'I tell you most solemnly, before Abraham ever was, I Am.'") The Biblical name given to God by Himself and told to Moses ("I Am") extends into the New Testament and portrays God's first essence to be His existence. Thus the naming indicates that if He exists at all in this unique way, He also exists in a way that is essential to existence itself (that is, essential to other things that actually exist, but that don't exist as a result of their first essence and must depend on something else, ultimately, whose first nature is to exist, for existence) as drawn from virtually unlimited possible existences. − ** John 13:31-17:26 (Discourse after Last Supper)<br><br> − − * Colossians 1:13-20 − ** ("who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; − ** in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:<br><br> − ** [W]ho is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; − ** for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him; − ** and he is before all things, and in him all things consist. − ** And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. − ** For it was the good pleasure [of the Father] that in him should all the fulness dwell; − ** and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, [I say], whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.")<br><br>
