FIRSTBORN...  is OUT!

Steven writes,
Fristborn means here that mary had at least a second son, but this is
confirming virgin birth.
We need to be very careful when we interpret, different from the KJV!
John 17:17  Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
It would be terrible to be found in a state of, ever learning and never
able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2 Tim 3:7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the
truth. "Thy Word is truth"

What about the church of the fristborn?
Heb 12:23  To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which
are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits
of just men made perfect,

Col 1:15  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every
creature:

Fristborn meant a lot in Egypt, when the blood was or wasn't on the door
post!
Still means a lot, to me.

Your servant for Jesus sake,
