- God created.
- Yeshua was the way/path.
- We are creation.
Yeshua is not the creator and didn't create creation. The Father did it alone, but through him.
If I ask someone to build me a house and I explain that I want it this way or that, then it is true to say that I didn't build the house. I gave preference to what I wanted the builder to do that is all. God created all things for Christ.
Hebrews 3:4
For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.Hebrews 1:1-2
1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.Colossians 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.So who made the universe according to Hebrews 1:1. It was the one referred to as 'he' which is God according to verse 1.
John 1:3
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.So did Christ create anything according to John 1:3? It just says that it was made through him. Not created by Christ himself.
Let's look at it this way. Did your parents create you? No they were the agents that God created you through. It was still God alone who created you. He formed us in the womb. But God creates 'through' and he delgates too.
It seems to me that a lot of people cannot come to terms with God using others. Many seem to mix up God with that whom he uses. If God lives inside you, are you God?
