As for what I hear, he may or may not be called the Word of God at other times than the one John speaks of. Revelations 19:13 does not tell us.
kerwinChrist as been the son of God sins the first of all creation if not Paul is a fake and liar;
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.those words of Paul do not need interpretation unless you want them to be not saying what they really saying ,
“the word of God ” is also the son of God and will be forever the WORD OF GOD ,why is that because the entire creation will be subdued to the son of God and this make Christ the word of God the only line to God the father ,the spoke person ,the communicator to the rest of creation ,the middle party ,between God and all creation.
Hi Pierre,Col.1:16-17 is about God, not Jesus.

Better read your bible a bit more.“Thus saith the LORD(YHVH), thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb,
I the LORD(YHVH) that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone;
that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh
diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;” (Isaiah 44:24-25)“The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne(YHVH),
and worship him(YHVH) that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Thou art worthy, O LORD(YHVH), to receive glory and honor and power:
for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” (Rev 4:10-11)When you compare these verses to Col.1:16-17, it is apearent the subject is “GOD The Father”!

Have you? I could swear that I've seen you “correcting” jammin by insisting the rider will be called the Word of God. Perhaps I was seeing things?Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 03 2013,12:34) My point is that a name Jesus is called by at the time John foresaw is not evidence Jesus was called by that same name in the beginning.
I've already agreed to this at least twice, Kerwin. The fact that Jesus IS called the Word of God in John's future revelation sheds no light on whether or not he was ever called that before this future time.But you ALTERING the text to “WILL BE CALLED” is slanting the text in ways John never intended.
It seems we can both agree that his name IS called the Word of God in the future, which doesn't prohibit him from having that name from days of old.
Mike,It is my belief Jesus is first called by the name of the Word of God when the Word is made flesh. The present tense in Revelations does not prove of disprove that conclusion not does it disprove or prove him being called by the name of the Word in the beginning.

do you know how to read the context?
tsk tsk.if God is the HE in col 1.15-16

3. God's principality
4. God's power
5. God himselfCan you not see the flaw in 'your' assertion?
Now let's take a closer look at verse 17…
17: And he(YHVH) is before all things, and by him(YHVH) all things consist.
Would 'you' have us to believe Jesus (falsely) is before YHVH himself?
Would 'you' have us to believe by Jesus (falsely) all things consist?
How can you reconcile this belief without saying Jesus is God?“Thus saith the LORD(YHVH), thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb,
I the LORD(YHVH) that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone;
that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh
diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;” (Isaiah 44:24-25)“The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne(YHVH),
and worship him(YHVH) that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Thou art worthy, O LORD(YHVH), to receive glory and honor and power:
for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” (Rev 4:10-11)When you compare these verses to Col.1:16-17, it is apearent the subject is “GOD The Father”!
Hi Pierre,Please look a little closer at how all these fit together perfectly. You trying to
apply Colossians 1:16-17 to Jesus puts them in conflict with Isaiah 44:24 and Rev 4:11.
Instead of you just brushing this off, you need to focus on the parts that I have enlarged for you.God bless

edjI ask you to look into Col 1;15-16 and more I have quoted you the all section but you can not use scriptures as they are written ,YOU SEEM TO HAVE A NEED TO SHOW US ALL HOW GOD IS TALKING THROUGH YOU ,AND THIS TO MAKE YOU A MIGHTY ONE ,CHRIST SAYS THAT TO BE GREAT WE MUST HUMBEL OUR SELVES TO THE POINT OF BECOMING SERVANTS TO OUR FELLOW MEN ,
Jammin ,is also pointing out a good point that I was also going to show you but he beat to it ,well done Jammin.
Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 04 2013,00:31) It is my belief Jesus is first called by the name of the Word of God when the Word is made flesh.
But to you, the “Word of God” is nothing more than utterances from God's mouth, right?Did God say the word “JESUS”, and His utterance became the flesh person of Jesus?
Was the entire being of Jesus Christ, and all things that he accomplished, just one of God's utterances that became flesh and lived on earth as a human being?Was one of God's utterances sacrificed so that it could shed blood for mankind?
These are nonsensical notions, Kerwin………. but they are what YOU teach.
We at least have a starting point – a place where we DO agree, and from where we can move forward. That place is that we both believe JESUS is the one called “the Word of God” from John 1:14 onward.
So here is our difference:
I believe that the one called the Word of God actually existed in heaven, and then was made flesh and dwelled on earth with the glory of God's only begotten Son.
You believe there existed a normal human being named Jesus from Nazareth, and at some point, an UTTERANCE of God became him. Or took him over. Or merged with him. Or that he changed from being a normal human being and transformed into a word that God had spoken. Or something like that.
This is where I'm fuzzy about your understanding, Kerwin. I mean, which one is the only begotten Son of God? Jesus from Nazareth? Or this utterance that God spoke? There are other confusing notions about your understanding as well, but this will get the ball rolling.
See, we have to get you nailed down on exactly what you think the Word of God is/was – or else we can't go through the first 4 chapters of John an see if your understanding fits with every scripture, like you've claimed it does.
In other words, how in the world can we check to see if you're correct if you can't even put a finger on exactly who or what this “Word of God” is?
Ed,
The word translated as “by” in the first part of Col 1:16 is also translated as “through” 39 times in the AKJV. After all, “by” and “through” are synonyms.
It seems that the last part of verse 16 confirms that it should be translated as “through” – because the last part (“all things were created through him and for him”) is just an affirmation of the first part (“for all things in heaven and on earth were created by/through him”).
Remember that “by” and “through” are synonyms, and often mean exactly the same thing.

Hi Jammin,YOU obviously don't pay attention to what you read.

Quote 2. By a usage chiefly Hebraistic the name is used for everything which the name covers, everything the thought or feeling of which is roused in the mind by mentioning, hearing, remembering, the name, i. e. for one's rank, authority, interests, pleasure, command, excellences, deeds, etc.; thus, εἰς ὄνομtα προφήτου, out of regard for (see εἰς, B. II. 2 d.) the name of prophet which he bears, equivalent to because he is a prophet, Matthew 10:41; βαπτίζειν τινα εἰς ὄνομα τίνος, by baptism to bind anyone to recognize and publicly acknowledge the dignity and authority of one (cf. βαπτίζω, II. The flesh is called by the name of the Word because he is everything that name covers. It is clear the flesh became everything the name covers when the Word was made flesh. Jesus did not sacrifice the Word, he sacrificed the flesh.
All John states in John 1:14 is the Word was made flesh. He did not state how the Word was made flesh. I am going to leave it at that now.
We agree on some things, just as you say.

So you're refusing to comment on the points I have given in my quote?
How convenient, just ignore it and it will go away; is that it?
