I came out from, came forth from, down from heaven God AND sent into the world.
A 5 year old person would tell you that is the beginning, when he was born not 30 years later.
Then clearly, You are less than a 5 year old and still in nappies.
We all know when Jesus ministry started when he was about 30. That is not what anybody is disputing.
It is your long bow and twisting of verses that you make a fool of yourself that when you read that God sent his son, this meant the start of Jesus'ministry.
I came out from, came forth from, down from heaven God = There is your birth via the Word and Spirit of the most high = Almighty God and Father as Per Isa 55:8-11 --> AND sent into the world = After Baptism, being led and taught for around 30 years;
Luke 3:22 - And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
Why = Luke 4:18 - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the good news to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.
You silly clown, he was NOT sent as a Baby preaching, so the sent is "clearly" in reference to "after" he was raised, let and taught.
Jesus in several places makes the distinction of TWO things in the SAME verse, came out from, came forth from as in God's Word/Spirit, the Hidden mystery within God before the world literally existed "with" God alone, his inner plan, creation, as per the inspired word says in Titus 1:2.
I will repeat one of several obvious statements of Jesus's;
John 17:18 - John 17:18 - As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world
So come on smarty, did Jesus send them out as babies etc as per your references = NO!
Jesus led, taught, trained them and "then" sent them "into" the world, just as he was taught and "then" sent into the world.
Stop making a fool of yourself.
