Dougg, two things:

1. A creature born of another creature is ipso facto not the SAME creature.

2. Israel is G-d's first born. Oops. Can't have TWO firstborns, can you?

Quote:
Exodus 4:22 You must say to Pharaoh, 'This is what G-d says: Israel is My son, My firstborn.

Hosea 11:1 "When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.


BTW Hosea is misused by the GT to say Jsus is G-d's firstborn because he fulfilled the "prophecy" of coming out of Egypt. Hey, about 3.5 million Jews beat him to it and Hosea is clearly speaking of ISRAEL.
And everything that Sarah tells you, listen to her voice. Genesis, 21:12
