- it cannot be 'by' because you do not believe that he actually created the universe.
- It cannot be 'through', because you have already stated as much.
The problem you have is that you need to make them all say “for”, but that is impossible because “for” is already used, so what of the other/s?
Now if you are open minded enough try the following search results. They list scriptures with the words “Christ AND through”. Notice that they all make sense as “through” and not much sense as “for”.

e.g., John 1:17
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.For the law was for Moses? No the law was for God's people and came through Moses. Likewise truth isn't for Christ rather through him for us.
Can you see from this example at least one reason why I cannot accept your teaching/doctrine and not just me Gene, but others here too.
