How do you reconcile these verse:
# God created all alone (Isaiah 44:24) – “Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, “I, the Lord, am the maker of all things, stretching out the heavens by Myself, and spreading out the earth all alone.”
# All things created by/through Jesus (Colossians 1:16-17) – “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created by Him and for Him. 17And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”

Try the thread on Agency.
God is the source, the origin, the builder of all things.
But just as Mr Downer does not have to come and build your house when you engage Downer Construction, God does not have to do all the dirty work Himself, but He does own that work.November 22, 2006 at 6:30 am#32901sscottParticipantdidn't realize this was already being discussed in another thread.

The truth about the role of Jesus with the Father in the beginning is not well shown in the OT and that shows the risk of being totally OT based. - AuthorPosts
