This is interesting to read out of context and required me reading another translation (Hollman Christian Standard) to get it.

This is the primary introduction to Wisdom - the 'me' in the above verse. I would even say that Wesley's note is conclusively incorrect to have any correlation to Jesus. Jesus has existed as part of the tri-une deity Semper et in aeternum.

Patience can you clarify where in the Bible states that Jehovah created Jesus, and can you explain to me Jhon 1:1
Thank you

This scripture shows that Jesus is not God, because it says Jehovah created Jesus. Which makes Jehovah greater than him.
