“When ‘firstborn’ is related to birth right it refers to the child who is the principal heir to the family estate (Gen. 25:32, 34; 27:36; Deut. 21:17).” (Volume 1, Number 1, Page 11)

“God is not in the business of forcing His love on people against their will or forcing people to return His love against their will. That would make the people mere robots and God a type of ‘divine rapist.’” (Volume 1, Number 1, Page 9)
“Geisler maintains that ‘those who do not wish to love God must be allowed not to love Him. Those who do not wish to be with Him must be allowed to be separated from Him. Hell is this eternal separation from God.’42 To put it another way, hell is God’s loving gift to those who reject Him. To annihilate those who reject Him would be akin to killing a child because he does not obey. Therefore, annihilation is more unloving than allowing the unbeliever to live in hell forever.” (Volume 1, Number 1, Page 9)
“Instead it describes a specific type of pre-eminence: Messianic pre-eminence. The term ‘firstborn’ is a Messianic term; therefore, it is appropriate only for Jesus, not for the Father or the Holy Spirit. Thus, the term was not be used of either of them in Scripture.” (Volume 1, Number 1, Page 4)
