Verses on the Preexistence of Christ

Dr. Couch, what are some other verses that show the preexistence of Christ? ANSWER: I left out some of the most important ones, such as John 13:3; 16:27-28, 30; 17:16, 18, 21, 23, 24, 25. They read: John 13:3: "He (Christ) had come forth from God, and was going back to God." John 16:27: "I came forth from the Father." 16:28: I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again, and going to the Father." 16:30: "You (the Son) came from God." 17:16: "I am not of this world." 17:18: "You (Father) did send Me into the world." 17:21: "You (Father) are in Me, and I in You, … You did send Me." 17:23: "You did send Me." 17:24: "You did love ME before the foundation of the world." 17:25: "These (the disciples) have known that You did send Me." The Pentecostal Oneness people fail to take these verses into account. Especially, John 13:3 and 16:28. Christ returns to the Father, making it clear that He preexisted and then returned to Him at the ascension. Thanks for asking. Dr. Mal Couch
