Welcome back as we take a look at more deceptions in the modern Bible translations.
Sadly as often the case, these SHOCKING and terrible deceptions in yet again another popular Bible verse continue to be seen in nearly ALL the modern translations of Colossians 1:16.
Yet again, MOST of Christianity are being deceived into believing Jesus is GOD, who CREATED ALL THINGS, as seen in a popular Trinitarian web site called: https://www.compellingtruth.org/faith.html
And CompellingTruth.org is a ministry of https://www.gotquestions.org/
Notice what we read in their Statement of Faith?
The Statement of Faith of CompellingTruth.org is the same as that of our parent site at http://www.gotquestions.org/faith.html
Section 1: The Bible
We believe the Bible, comprised of the Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God (Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). In faith we hold the Bible to be inerrant in the original writings, God-breathed, and the complete and final authority for faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17). While still using the individual writing styles of the human authors, the Holy Spirit perfectly guided them to ensure they wrote precisely what He wanted written, without error or omission (2 Peter 1:21).
Section 2: God
We believe in one God, who is Creator of all (Deuteronomy 6:4; Colossians 1:16), who has revealed Himself in three distinct Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14), yet who is one in being, essence, and glory (John 10:30). God is eternal (Psalm 90:2), infinite (1 Timothy 1:17), and sovereign (Psalm 93:1). God is omniscient (Psalm 139:1-6), omnipresent (Psalm 139:7-13), omnipotent (Revelation 19:6), and unchanging (Malachi 3:6). God is holy (Isaiah 6:3), just (Deuteronomy 32:4), and righteous (Exodus 9:27). God is love (1 John 4:8), gracious (Ephesians 2:8), merciful (1 Peter 1:3), and good (Romans 8:28).
Section 3: Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is God incarnate, God in human form, the expressed image of the Father, who, without ceasing to be God, became man in order that He might demonstrate who God is and provide the means of salvation for humanity (Matthew 1:21; John 1:18; Colossians 1:15).
Now if we click on the Trinitarian article saying Colossians 1:16), we come to the translation they are using which says in: Colossians 1:16 (ESV)
16 For by him (Jesus) all things were created, 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.
As we have seen, The Trinitarians are using a false translation to prove Jesus is GOD and the creator of ALL THINGS by using the FALSE translations like the English Standard Version, saying: For by him (Jesus) all things were created.
The correct translation does NOT say (For by him).
But instead the correct translations say in the: Berean Study Bible and Greek translations (For in Him).
We now move forward to the next GREAT and terrible deception where we see the FALSE words added in the next sentence of Colossians 1:16, saying: For by him all things (were) created.
The word saying (WERE), deceives many into believing exactly what is says, that by Him Jesus, (WERE), all things created.
So in other words, ALL THINGS (WERE), meaning (HAVE BEEN), already occurred, was, already taken place, or happened, and (WERE) created by Jesus.
And this word (WERE), is clearly deceiving most of Christianity, who are deceived into believing Jesus is GOD the Creator, or Jesus was ALIVE WITH GOD creating the Universe.
In fact the Christians who believe Jesus is GOD, always use this verse of Colossians 1:16 as one of their main verses to prove Jesus is GOD, or that Jesus Pre-existed His flesh.
But if we take a closer look, and examine what the Greek word saying ἐκτίσθη (WERE), means, we INSTEAD make another SHOCKING discovery.
Notice in the Strong's Concordance what the Trinitarians actually say themselves, that the Greek word for ἐκτίσθη which they have translated as (WERE created), INSTEAD means?
Strong's Concordance
ktizó: to build, create
Original Word: κτίζω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: ktizó
Phonetic Spelling: (ktid'-zo)
Definition: to build, create
Usage: I create, form, shape, make, always of God.
Notice how we DO NOT read in the Trinitarian Definition: (were created), or HAVE BEEN CREATED, wrongly implying as something CREATED in the past, that was ALREADY created before Jesus was BORN, as a MAN.
But instead we read in the Trinitarian Definition: to build, create, form, shape, make. In other words, something that is being done now and in the future, NOT something that WERE or WAS DONE already, which is a more true and accurate definition, rather than (WERE).
As we have seen, this is all according to what the Trinitarian translators say regarding what the meaning of the Greek word for ἐκτίσθη Original Word: κτίζω, which they have translated as (WERE created) means.
As seen by clicking on the 2936 [e] here.
So what did Paul truly say and mean in Colossians 1:16?
1. Paul DID NOT say: For (BY) him all things (WERE) created.
2. But INSTEAD, my research reveals Paul was saying and meaning in Colossians 1:16
For in Him (THROUGH Jesus), GOD is (Re-building, Re-creating, Re-forming, Re-shaping, Re-making, all things, NEW, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things GOD is (building, creating, forming, shaping, making, through Him (Jesus) and for Him.
Also notice at the end of Colossians 1:16 saying: have been created, as we see the Greek word (ἔκτισται), is different to the Greek word at the beginning of Colossians 1:16 saying ἐκτίσθη were created.
The Trinitarians translate the Greek word in Colossians 1:16 V-RIM/P-3S as meaning:
GRK: εἰς αὐτὸν ἔκτισται
NAS: all things have been created through
KJV: all things were created by
INT: for him have been created.
So we yet again see more fishy translations going on here.
My own translation above, agrees perfectly with what Jesus said in Matthew 28:18, saying: Berean Literal Bible
And having come to them, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "All authority in heaven and on the earth has been given to Me.
My own conclusion and translation.
As we see, Jesus and Paul are NOT teaching what most teach and believe, saying in Colossians 1:16 (ESV) 16 For by him (Jesus) all things were created.
I believe the truth is, Paul was saying and meaning in Colossians 1:16
For in Him (THROUGH Jesus), GOD is (Re-building, creating, forming, shaping, making, all things, NEW, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things GOD is (building, creating, forming, shaping, making, through Him (Jesus) and for Him.
Thank you for your time in reading my research, please do let me know what you believe, as I am always seeking, researching, leaning, listening and praying for the truth.
I believe we must all do our part to warn those who have eyes to see and ears to hear as Jesus said, as there are so many FALSE Bible translations and deceptions deceiving most of Christianity, which is why I am here doing my part, in hope to help the blind see, and help the truth seekers be set free.
Matthew 5:16
Thus let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and they should glorify your Father in the heavens.
Please join me again in Hebrew 1:2, where we will see how the correct translation agrees with my research above, and there we will discover yet again more FALSE translations in Hebrews 1:2.
I am Simon Brown, and I would like to close this article by showing you the many FALSE Bible translations of Colossians 1:16.
The false words we are to focus on are seen in RED, as in Colossians 1:16, and are, For (by him were all things created, or the word alone saying, (were created), or have been, or made, or was:
And (created), should INSTEAD be CREATING, or RE- CREATING, or MAKING:
New International Version
For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
New Living Translation
for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. This is a better translation then most, except this translation is also deceiving by saying: for through him God created, should be (GOD is (RE building, RE creating, RE forming, RE shaping, RE making, everything in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made, should be (GOD is RE MAKING) the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything (NOT WAS) but IS RE- creating (BY GOD) through him (Jesus) and for him, as we read in Matthew 28:18, Hebrews 1:2, and Colossians 1:13, who has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son,
