The Verse doesn’t mention a 'master worker', that's the reality imo..

Proverbs 8 does. Prov 8:22-produced me as the beginning of hisway( creation) You have possessed which makes 0 sense. 8:25-brought forthas with labor pains( created direct firstand last)= The firstborn of all creation( Coll 1:15)
8:30--then i came to be beside him as his master worker--The only one beside God as his master worker = the being sent named Jesus as a mortal. The one whom God created all other things through.

Thank you for your comments Utopiandreamchild. I look forward to reading your posts. I agree soul and spirit are distinct and eternal.
The body is temporal.

Blessings,

This could be a tip yet in case you didn't realize weren't there two creations? And the first one suggested man and woman's ultimite images.The first creation being the angels and archangels and the rest of the universe and ultimitely man and woman and when God expressed "let us make" who was he speaking with?The angels and archangels who many express were his inspiration for Earth's Humanity.They actually came first.Did you think it was an old wive's tale?or that the liknesses of the angels and archangels were merely guesses via 11th. 12th. 13. 14th. Century Artists?God's brilliant of course yet until you square yourself with more than the notion that they were created first you can't figure out the whole Picture.If the Scholars would concentrate on the origins of the Angels Archangels and the rest of the universe other than Earth they would discover a "seam" that suggests God had inspiration and it was they the angels and things such being Andromeda that were His leverage of Earth's creation.WWW.DIVINAMADRE.ORG has some conversations that describe these origins.Take care and God bless the blessed!Absolutely no twisted parallels!Absolutely Straight Forward!Gary V.

Yes thank you I did know there are two creation stories. Some believe Jesus is Michael the Archangel, who knows. I personally do not ....
