The TRUE Meaning and Misunderstanding of Colossians 1:16 and 1:17.

We continue from Colossians 15 to Colossians 16, and 17.  

Colossians 1:16:  

For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.  

Most of Christianity believe Paul is teaching here that the whole of the Genesis creation was created by or through Jesus. 

I was one who was deceived by believing this, until my countless debates with Unitarians and Mr Buzzard for over 2 years helped open my heart, mind and eyes, to then force me to go back to the pages of the bible and redo my research through new glasses, to then come to a new understanding and surprising unknown fact proving to be a new revelation for me, that was disclosed to Unitarians, which I now share with many today.  

The Simple Biblical facts:  

The simple understanding is the fact that if the whole world was created by GOD with His Son alive WITH Him and next to him and doing the creating through Him, then WHY was this NOT ever taught or said or mentioned by GOD the Father Himself?  

GOD would have simply said: By Yahweh’s (SON), the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth. Psalm 33:6.

And as GOD the father only ever declares He is the creator of all things ALONE, then if Jesus was alive and with GOD doing the creating THROUGH Jesus, then we have countless contradictions against what GOD said that He is the creator of all things ALONE.

If there are contradictions against what GOD said, then that should raise a RED flag.

However what we find is that Jesus or the (Son) is not mentioned by GOD the Father, but instead we read: By Yahweh’s (word), the heavens were made. and on close examination we find the (word) is simply GODS spoken word from His mouth, His speech, command and authority, which is seen in the end part of the verse: by the (breath of his mouth)  Psalm 33:6.  
And should instead say by the (SON) Psalm 33:6, If GOD created all things THROUGH His Son Jesus.

We also find in countless scriptures (GOD) is always a singular verb, as: (I), He, Me, Him, by myself, and GOD always tells us He is on His own doing the creating with no one beside Him, and again Jesus is never, ever mentioned by GOD the Father to be WITH Him alive, and that GOD is working through His Son CREATING the whole world, just as we read GOD say He created all thing (by my self in Isaiah 44:24: Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb: “I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who alone stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth by myself;  

Notice how we even read GOD the Fathers name (Yahweh) is in the Hebrew translations, that has been removed from most of the modern Trinitarian translations, which is truly shocking, because GOD the Fathers name (Yahweh) IDENTIFIES GOD the Father as GOD ALONE,  as ONE BEING, and NOT THREE BEINGS.  

So these simple Biblical facts prove the understanding by MOST within the Christian population today is wrong and false and is another GREAT and terrible deception MOST have been deceived into believing, that Jesus was WITH GOD before all creation, therefore deceiving MOST to wrongly believing that Jesus pre-existed His flesh, when instead the Biblical fact prove GOD is GOD ALONE, on His own doing the creating.

The incorrect translation (by).  

The correct translation is: For in Him all things were created,  

In the Greek text of Colossians 1:16 we have (ἐν in) Him and not by Him.   

And the end says (δι’through) Him and not by Him.  

What did Paul mean in the first part of Colossians 1:16: For in Him all things were created,  

Paul is saying GOD the Father has created ALL things in mind, purpose and plan from the foundations of the world Revelation 13-8, 1 Peter 1-20, Galatians 4-4.    

We clearly see how Trinitarians have changed the correct word from (ἐν in) Him, to by Him, to deceive people into believing Jesus is GOD, which is why Trinitarians so often use Colossians 1:16 to make us believe Jesus is GOD, because GOD The father always says he alone is the creator, so by the false Trinitarian translations saying (by him) Jesus, people are deceived into believing Jesus is the same one true GOD, as GOD is the only creator.    

And as most Trinitarians do not look into the Greek translations, but simply use false modern Trinitarian translations, they remain deceived to what the scriptures are truly saying and meaning.

But what did Paul mean in the end of Colossians 1-16 (πάντα all things) were created through him and for him.  

In Hebrews 1:2, we have the answer to what Paul meant by saying (πάντων all things) were created through him and for him.  

Hebrews 1-2:  Berean Literal Bible: in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of (πάντα all things) and through whom He made the ages. 

Notice the words again (πάντα all things), meaning: (in these last days) has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of (πάντα all things), and through whom He made the ages. 

Meaning (πάντα all things), have been (RE CREATED) (in these last days Hebrews 1-2) in Jesus, in the PRESENT AGE, NEW AGE, NEW KINGDOM TO COME IN JESUS, just as we read in three verses back in Colossians 1-13- He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son. The PRESENT AGE, NEW AGE, NEW KINGDOM TO COME IN JESUS, Hebrews 1:2, 

Because: And Jesus came and said to them, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Matthew 28:18. 

But what did Jesus mean: All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Matthew 28:18?  

The simple answer is back in Colossians 1:16: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities.  

Notice how the wording of Paul (in heaven and on earth), Colossians 1:16? Is identical to the wording of Jesus (in heaven and on earth) Matthew 28:18?  

So by this statement from Jesus  (in heaven and on earth) Matthew 28:18, we know Jesus is referring to the NEW CREATION, because He told us this after His death and resurrection when He fully accomplished the will of his father, where GOD gave Him all authority in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. 

All things were created through Him and for Him.Colossians 1:16, Matthew 28:18.  

So this must conclude that Paul is referring to what Jesus said in Matthew 28:18.

Colossians 1-17: He is before (all things),   

Most of Christianity have again become very confused and deceived by false teachers teaching what Paul is saying and meaning here, and simply think and believe Paul was saying Jesus was ALIVE WITH GOD before ALL CREATION, because of Paul saying: He is before (all things), Colossians 1-17.  

However the truth is that Paul is referring to:  He is before (all things), in precedence. Jesus is considered as first priority in importance, order and rank, which is confirmed by John the Baptist in John 1:15, John 1:30. 

Which is what Jesus meant in John 8-58: before Abraham was I am, meaning I am the chosen one, the Messiah: He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you 1 Peter 1:20.  

Sadly the rebellious Jews often did not believe Jesus, and therefore did not understand Jesus, much like the Trinitarians today.

My Conclusion:  


The verses like John 1:1, John 1:3 John 1:10, John 17:5, John 8:58, and so on are used by people who believe Jesus is GOD, or by people who believe Jesus preexisted His Flesh, but on close examination, these verses are again ether FALSE Trinitarian translations, or taken out of context, or simply misunderstood by most. 

My research reveals if Jesus pre-existed His Flesh, then He was a Pre human, meaning He was NOT 100% human, CONTRADICTING what Jesus only ever taught that He was GODS Begotten Son, John 10:36 who was fully MAN, John 8:40, who did certainly become the second perfect Adam, but could NOT be the second perfect Adam if He was GOD, or an Angel, and pre-existed His Flesh.   

And therefore, a pre-existing Jesus, is NOT the true Christ, but one of countless false Christ’s, just as Jesus said there would come many false Christ's'. Matthew 24:24.     

And the SHOCKING truth is that MOST have been deceived into believing Jesus is the word in John 1:1, meaning Jesus was pre-existing with GOD side by side making TWO GODS, and was PRE-HUMAN, when the word is simply GODS own spoken speech, authority, expressing His mind, plan and command, and is never a second person, until Jesus is BORN John 1:14.

As: Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6. We MUST then go through the true Jesus Christ, to get to the ONE TRUE GOD.

But as MOST have been deceived into believing in one of countless false Christ’s they will not be able to get to the ONE TRUE GOD, and this is another way how I believe the enemy has deceived MOST:

And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

Revelation 12:9.

This explains another reason why Jesus said we MUST overcome, by overcoming the countless deceptions and black holes the enemy has created to deceive people from the truth:  

Berean Literal Bible The one overcoming, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall not go out anymore. And I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. Revelation 3:12   

The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. Revelation 3:21.  

If we believe in the true Jesus, we will (overcome) and endure:  if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us 2 Timothy 2:12. 

When we believe in a false Jesus, we DENY the true Christ. 

And this all explains why Jesus said in John 17:3:  And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 

Notice from Jesus own lips, we MUST know the only TRUE God, and the TRUE Jesus Christ, which is eternal life?  

What Jesus Christ do you know?   

For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.  See, I have told you beforehand. Matthew 24:24,25.


Please join me again in my next coming articles as we examine Colossians 16, and 17.

Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:16.

but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, THE SON OF GOD, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:31.

There is NO TRINITY MYSTERY, 

but a simple understanding, uncomplicated, straightforward Biblical fact:

Jesus Christ is the Son of His one true GOD, Amen.

The TRUE Meaning and Misunderstanding Of Colossians 1:15.

Please may I share my research on Colossians 1-15.  
If you haven’t already made up your mind to what you already believe, I pray at least my research will encourage you to open your mind and heart and consider the following Biblical facts.  

And with your own research, please let me know what I don’t know.  

There are many different views and beliefs to what Paul meant in Colossians 1-15 ,16, and 17, by many different faiths.  

Lets kick off with Colossians 1-15.  

English Standard Version He is the (image) of the invisible God,   

Jesus: is the (image) of the invisible God,   
This is not at all complicated, as the Greek word for (εἰκὼν image) simply means likenesses, copy, duplicate, exactly like something else, (ONE) of two or more identical things.  

So Jesus is the (εἰκὼν image), likenesses, copy, duplicate, exactly, identically, like his Father GOD.  

He is the image of the (invisible God),   

(invisible God).  

GOD is Spirit said Jesus John 4:24, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom (no one has ever seen or can see). To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. 1 Timothy 6:16.  

Note: (no one has ever seen or can see).   

Also Note what we also read in 1 Timothy 1:17 
To the King of the ages, immortal, (invisible), the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.  

So we read in all three scriptures Colossians 1:15, 1 Timothy 6:16 and 1 Timothy 1:17 that GOD the Father is the (invisible God), which is why (no one has ever seen or can see).  

We clearly read how GOD the Father is the only invisible God.

This is confirmed by Jesus in John 5:44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

 And we know that MAN is not invisible, which is why millions could see Jesus, because He was a MAN. 

As Jesus is the (εἰκὼν image) of His GOD, and was a MAN, This proves He is the visible, and physical form of His Father GOD. 

Just as we are told in Hebrews 1:3, He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature.   

In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4.   

Facts to consider: 
Here are some simple facts for those who believe and teach Jesus is GOD.  

Being the (image) of something or being the (image) of someone, means that or they are not the same thing or being they are the (image) of.  

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Genesis 1:26. 

As Man was also made in the image of GOD, we humans are not GOD.  

Conclusion:

The first part of Paul’s verse saying: He is the (image) of the invisible God, in Colossians 1:15 is an undeniable, indisputable fact, proving Jesus Christ is NOT the same GOD He was born from, but as GOD and His Son have always declared Jesus is the literal Son of His one true GOD, Matthew 3:17, Luke 3:22, Matthew 17:5, John 10:36, John 17:5.

As Jesus is the  exact (εἰκὼν image), imprint, nature, likenesses, copy, duplicate,  the visible, and physical form, Philippians 2:6, exactly, identically, just like his Father GOD, these simple Biblical facts prove Colossians 1-15 proves Jesus is NOT that same GOD He is the exact (εἰκὼν image) of.  

We continue with Colossians 1-15 saying: the firstborn of all creation.  

What did Paul mean: the firstborn of all creation?  

The simple answer is in the verses below:  

And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. Colossians 1:18   

But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15-20:  

But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:23  

For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Romans 8:29   

that the Christ must suffer and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.” Acts 26:23.  

and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood. Revelation 1:5

Facts to consider: 
Colossians 1-15 saying: the firstborn of all creation. 

Here are some simple facts for those who believe and teach Colossians 1-15 means Jesus is the first ever born Son of GOD.

There are NO sayings, or words or verses by GOD “Yahweh’’ the Father saying or teaching His Son Jesus was WITH GOD before all creation, as we would expect GOD to say if Jesus pre-existed His flesh, but instead GOD always says He was on His own, by myself, just as we read in just a few verses of many like Psalm 72:18, Psalm 86:10.
Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: “I am the LORD, who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself, Isaiah 44:24  

There are NO sayings, or words or verses by Jesus saying He was ALIVE, and WITH His Father GOD “Yahweh’’ before the creation of the world, but instead that GOD created all things with His Begotten SON Jesus in MIND, as the most important MAN to be born in His GREAT PLAN (because in him were all things created Colossians 1:16), 

Because: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16. 

He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you 1 Peter 1:20.  

Notice how we read Jesus was foreknown, and instead we do not read Jesus was alive and living WITH GOD before the foundation of the world.

The Greek word for (προγινώσκω foreknown) simply means to know beforehand, just as we read Jesus was revealed in the countless Bible Prophesies, as the most important MAN and person to be born in GOD Almighty’s great PLAN.

The FALSE Trinitarian translations of John 1:10.

My research on John 1:10. 

Simon Brown

What did John mean by saying: 

He was in the world, 

and the world was made through him, 

yet the world did not know him.  

Firstly the correct translation of John 1:10 does NOT say: and the world was made through him.

The correct translation of John 1:10 also does NOT say:

the world was made by him, 

as we read in the false translations below.

These translations deceive people into believing the (Genesis Creation world) was made THROUGH Jesus, or BY Jesus saying: and the world was made (by) him.  

The Greek word is ἐγένετο.  

And if we turn to Matthew 7:28 we discover the same Greek word means ἐγένετο, it came to pass.  

In other words John is telling us ALL the world is accomplished, to be fulfilled, all come to pass THROUGH Jesus, for- filling all Bible prophesies.  

I will now add in the correct meaning and translation: In the world He was and the world through Him (ἐγένετο, it came to pass) yet the world did not know him. John 1:10.

I think John 1:10 goes side by side with 1 Corinthians 8:6:  Holman Christian Standard Bible: yet for us there is one God, the Father. All things are from Him, and we exist for Him. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ. All things are through Him, and we exist through Him.

In the world He was and the world through Him (ἐγένετο, it came to pass) yet the world did not know him. John 1:10.

From what I see is that John 1:10 and 1 Corinthians 8:6 seem related.

This is because all NEW things are in and THROUGH Christ Jesus, hence: the world through Him (ἐγένετο, it came to pass) yet the world did not know him. John 1:10.

He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, Colossians 1:15.

to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 1:25

We see again how Jude tells us GOD the Father “ Yahweh” is GOD ALONE by saying: to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord,

Does GOD share His glory, and prove Jesus is GOD? Isaiah 42:8, John 17:5.

 "I am Yahweh. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.  

Isaiah 42:8 

In short:

Isaiah 42:8 is used by people who believe Jesus is GOD to prove Jesus is GOD, because God says I will not give my glory to another, and because Jesus said in John 17:5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed, they then conclude this proves Jesus is the same ONE TRUE GOD.  

However we read in John 17:22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,     

Question?
Are the disciples also GOD, as Jesus SHARED the same glory with the disciples that was given to him by His Father?

Also in Exodus 34:29 Moses face shone so bright being full of the glory of God, so was Moses GOD?    

So I Simon Brown ask WHY do so many people who believe Jesus is GOD, send me Isaiah 42:8 to prove Jesus is GOD?  

These simple facts prove the meaning of GOD saying I will not give my glory to another, is misunderstood, and taken out of context, which is sadly often the case with people who teach and believe Jesus is GOD.

  Comment below from Sir Anthony Buzzard:

Yes, we all know that Christians are going to be glorified and as you well point out vv 22, and 24 Jesus has already promised that future glory, and he promised it even before those to be glorified had been born! Trinitarians stop at nothing to try to wear you out! Not easy. Anthony    www.restorationfellowship.org
