I know that something JW’s use is Colossians 1:9 [ First Born] but we see biblically that First-Born doesn’t always mean the order of which someone was born and we can see that reference in David being called the First born of the kings but we know Saul was the first king. Here we see firstborn means Pre-immenence.

Your last line was well said.
