How
do we know that?
Because
the Bible says so as follows:
“In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the
Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All
things were
made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
(John
1:1-3).
In
heaven, Jesus is called the Word and he is God.
“For
there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word,
and
the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” (1 John 5:7)
The
Word becomes a man in Jesus Christ as we have …
“And
the Word (Jesus
in heaven) was made flesh (Jesus becomes a man), and
dwelt
among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten
of the
Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
and
“…
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of
angels,
preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into
glory.” (1Timothy 3:16)
“For by him (Jesus Christ) were
all things
created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible
and
invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or
powers:
all things were created BY him (Jesus
Christ), and
for him: And he is before all things, and by him (Jesus
Christ) all
things consist.” (Colossians 1:16-17)
Yes
Dear Reader, it was a ‘hands-on’ creation by Jesus as he did the actual
work
himself … if not, the Bible would have said through him. All
the other
false Bible versions say ‘through him’. ‘Through him’ promotes the
heresy, that
a succession of angels did the creating, with Jesus merely directing
the
angels.
Correct
… and this absolutely proves that Jesus is God, and Jesus, in the
beginning, created
the heavens and the earth.
We
must remember that God is talking amongst himself made up of the three
persons.
The Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost are talking to themselves,
stating they
will create man as follows:
“And
God said, Let US make man in our image, after our likeness: …”
(Genesis
1:26)
No
… as this was before any angels were created. Angels were
created after
man (Genesis 1:27) as follows:
“Thus
the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of
them.” (Genesis
2:1).
Yes
Dear Reader, it a popular but false myth that in the beginning
there was
God and the angels before God created the heavens and the earth.
As
angels are created beings, and the first things that were created were
the
heavens and the earth, the angels had to be created after that. Amen?
No.
This is another blasphemous myth, promoted by well-meaning but
ignorant
Christians, that the Spirit of God helped in the creation as “… the
Spirit
of God moved upon the face of the waters.” (Genesis 1:2).
The
creation was done by Jesus and he didn’t need any help from the Spirit.
God,
being the three persons of the Godhead, stated the job of creation was
given to
Jesus Christ to actually/’hands-on’ do everything … as he did with
creating the
heavens and the earth. The following scripture states
“God (the father)… Hath in
these last
days spoken unto us by his Son (God the Son), … by whom
also he made
the worlds;” (Hebrews 1:1-2)
“But
unto the Son (Jesus)
he (God) saith, Thy throne, O God (Jesus), is
for ever
and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Thou hast
loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God (Jesus),
even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy
fellows.” (Hebrews 1:8-9)
“And
God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” (Genesis
1:3).
Correct
… it’s Jesus Christ. The three persons of the Godhead (Romans 1:20;
Colossians 2:9)
in heaven all state the job of creation be given to Jesus.
