Has Jesus existed from all eternity past or is he a created being? This is a very important question to ask. John 1:3 and Isaiah 44:24 help us see that Jesus cannot be a created being. Listen as I explain how these verses can only be understood in the context of Jesus being the eternal God.
Also, I begin this podcast by responding to a listener question that was submitted on Facebook. I was asked how to reconcile 2 John 10-11 with my conversation last week when I mentioned that we should welcome Mormons into our homes for a discussion.
