This just refers to how long spirits per se have been around, I think. Has nada to do with being equal to God. This touches on a VERY deep subject, like which came first, the chicken or the egg, or which came first, spirits or God?? Apparently he is saying the answer is, Neither. They have both always been around. I think JS might have used a better word than co-equal, however. Maybe co-existent would be better.BlaineOn Mon, 22 Dec 2003 19:31:29 -0800 (PST) Kevin Deegan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:"There never was a time when there were not spirits; for they are co-equal [co-eternal] with our Father in heaven."
