Question: "Is Jesus the Creator?" Answer: Genesis 1:1 says that "God created the heavens and the earth." Then, Colossians 1:16 gives the added detail that God created "all things" through Jesus Christ. The plain teaching of Scripture, therefore, is that Jesus is the Creator of the universe. The mystery of the triune God is difficult to understand yet is one of the doctrines revealed in Scripture. In the Bible, both God the Father and Jesus are called Shepherd, Judge, and Saviour. Both are called the Pierced One—in the same verse (Zechariah 12:10). Christ is the exact representation of God the Father, having the same nature (Hebrews 1:3). There is some sense in which everything the Father does, the Son and Spirit also do, and vice versa. They are always in perfect agreement at every moment, and all three equal only One God (Deuteronomy 6:4). Knowing that Christ is God and has all the attributes of God aids our understanding of Jesus as the Creator. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). There are three important things in this passage about Jesus and the Father: 1) Jesus was "in the beginning"—He was present at creation. Jesus had existed eternally with God. 2) Jesus is distinct from the Father—He was "with" God. 3) Jesus is the same as God in nature—He "was God." Hebrews 1:2 says, "In these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe." Christ is the agent of God’s creation; the world was created "through" Him. The Father and the Son had two distinct functions in creation yet worked together to bring about the cosmos. John says, "All things were made through [Jesus], and without [Jesus] was not anything made that was made" (John 1:3, ESV). The apostle Paul reiterates: "There is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live" (1 Corinthians 8:6). The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, was also an agent in creation (Genesis 1:2). Since the Hebrew word for "spirit" is often translated as "wind" or "breath," we can see the activity of all three persons of the Trinity in one verse: "By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth" (Psalm 33:6). After a thorough study of Scripture, we can conclude that God the Father is the Creator (Psalm 102:25), and He created through Jesus, God the Son (Hebrews 1:2).

so what are you now saying? you asked a question and answered it yourself. However, If you are still doubting... Jesus is Lord. Jesus is the Word Of God, The Voice Of God. They've always Been Together. In ad much you can't differentiate yourself from your sayings, don't bother trying to differentiate God from Jesus. He is the only one that has the potency to Make is Word become flesh and live among us. #PEACE# |

Christ Jesus is a Part of The Almighty Creator! HE is The Love of The Almighty Creator! HE is The Inborn Son of The Almighty Creator! HE is Part of The Trinity of THE GODHEAD! Our Lord Christ Jesus was sent to this World by THE ALMIGHTY FATHER HIMSELF 2000 years ago to come and "liberate" the World from "darkness"! Please, do not quote me! Kindly make you individual contributions to the topic! Thank you! |

Col. 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. Col. 1:16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. Col. 1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Col. 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. Col. 1:19 For God was pleased to have all his fulness dwell in him. He. 2:7 You made him a little [Or him for a little while; also in verse 9] lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honour He. 2:8 and put everything under his feet.” [Psalm 8:4-6] In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. He. 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honour because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. All the confusions about who Jesus Christ is and is not arose due to the Church moving from Jews to gentiles. The moment gentiles completely pushed out the Jews and took over the Church, things fell apart. Since then, it has been so difficult to reconstruct the Church the way it is supposed to be. However, we are in the end time already, and Jews much retake eminence in the Church in order for full redemption to occur (Rom 8:23). The Jews of Nigeria have been prophesied to be the ones that will take the lead. https://www.nairaland.com/1857130/romans-threw-true-christianity-lions Everything you read about Jesus in Col 1:15-19 is what God planned for Adam, but which was thwarted by Adam yielding to Satan. Adam was made a little lower than angels for a little while; but the little while turned into endless time when Adam yielded to Satan. Jesus is a new Adam that was also made a little lower than angels for a little while. Because Jesus refused to yield to Satan, three years after he was indwelt by the Spirit of God, God indwelt him with His fullness. Suddenly, Jesus knew that all things were created through (the new) him. Suddenly, Jesus began to know all the secrets of the universe. And this his new self is what he will be forever. He is forever God. But he wasn't God in eternity past; not even by 20 AD. Ep. 4:22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; Ep. 4:23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; Ep. 4:24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Col. 1:26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. Col. 1:27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. The real purpose of Christianity is the implementation of God's original plan for Adam in the Christian--a branch of Adam. God's original plan is now a mystery to us. The mystery has been fully implemented in Jesus Christ. It will be implemented in me; I don't know about you. Right now, Christ (the Holy Spirit) is in me; so, I have strong hope that this mystery will be implemented in me. In order for the mystery to be implemented in me, I need to put off my old self that yields to the ways of Satan; and put on the new self that is created to be like God. I put on the new self through Christ in me. Ep. 3:19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge — that you may be filled to the measure of all the fulness of God. One day, the glory will come upon me, when Jesus fills me to the full measure of all the fullness of divinity; just like God did to Jesus. I will suddenly be like God and that forever. https://www.nairaland.com/2015171/purpose-jesus-mission-earth |
