Join me on this journey. Let's seek the truth together! 💡 Proverbs 8:34-36 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts. For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh. But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.” Psalm 84: 11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly. 12 Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you. 1 John 5:5 Now who is the one overcoming the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God.

IS GOD THE CHRIST! 1 Corinthians 2:8.

IS GOD THE CHRIST! 1 Corinthians 2:8.

Where does the Word of GOD say we MUST believe GOD is the Christ?
Or that Jesus is GOD?
Let's look in 1 Corinthians 2:8 to read what we MUST believe!
Notice what we read in 1 John 5:1 Berean Literal Bible Everyone believing that �� Jesus is the Christ �� has been born of God, and everyone loving the One having begotten Him also loves the one having been begotten from Him. Did you see that Everyone believing that �� Jesus is the Christ �� So how will most of Christianity be saved? because MOST believe Jesus is GOD, When, GOD is NOT the Christ!
Nor does ANYWHERE in the whole Bible does it say Christians MUST believe Jesus is GOD, or that GOD is the SON.
So Why do MOST of Christianity believe in what's NOT taught in the Bible, that they MUST believe Jesus is GOD.
THIS ALONE, PROVES GOD THE SON, IS A FALSE CHRIST!

The FALSE Interpretation of Colossians 1:16

The FALSE Interpretation of Colossians 1:16


The FALSE Interpretation of Colossians 1:16

Does Colossians 1:16 Really Teach That Jesus Created the Genesis Universe?

Research by Simon Brown

One of the most frequently quoted passages used to prove that Jesus is God and the Creator of the universe is Colossians 1:16.

A good example can be found on the popular Trinitarian website CompellingTruth.org, where Colossians 1:16 is cited in support of the belief that Jesus created all things.

The English Standard Version (ESV) reads:

"For by him 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."

At first glance, this appears to teach that Jesus personally created the heavens and the earth described in Genesis.

But does Paul actually say that?


The First Translation Difference

The Greek text begins with the words:

ἐν αὐτῷ

These words literally mean:

"In Him."

For this reason, translations such as the Berean Study Bible translate the verse:

"For in Him all things were created..."

rather than:

"For by Him all things were created..."

This difference is significant.

The Greek preposition ἐν (en) normally means "in." Some translators understand it as expressing agency and therefore translate it "by Him," while others retain the more literal wording "in Him."

Whether Paul intended "in," "through," or "by" is therefore an interpretive decision rather than something explicitly stated by the Greek text.

For that reason, every reader should carefully examine the context before deciding what Paul meant.


The Greek Verb

The next words translated:

"were created"

come from the Greek verb:

ἐκτίσθη (ektisthē)

This is the aorist passive form of κτίζω (ktizō), meaning:

  • to create

  • to make

  • to form

  • to build

After examining the Greek more carefully, I realised that the words "were created" are a correct translation of this Greek verb.

Therefore, the issue is not whether the verb has been mistranslated.

The real question is much more important.


Which "All Things" Is Paul Talking About?

The crucial question is:

What are the "all things" Paul is referring to?

Most Christians immediately assume Paul is speaking about the original creation recorded in Genesis.

However, the surrounding context suggests another possibility.

Throughout the New Testament we are repeatedly told that God exalted Jesus after His resurrection and gave Him supreme authority.

Jesus Himself said:

"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."
(Matthew 28:18)

Peter declared:

"Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
(Acts 2:36)

Paul also writes:

"Therefore God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name."
(Philippians 2:9)

Likewise Paul writes elsewhere:

"...He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand... far above every rule and authority and power and dominion... and He put all things under His feet."
(Ephesians 1:20–22)

Notice the order.

God first raises Jesus.

God then exalts Jesus.

God then gives Jesus all authority.

God then places all things under Him.

This raises an important question.

Could Colossians 1:16 be describing everything God established under Christ's authority after His exaltation, rather than describing the original creation in Genesis?


Notice What Paul Actually Mentions

Instead of describing the creation account found in Genesis, Paul immediately says:

"...whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities..."

These are positions of authority and government.

Paul does not mention:

  • Adam

  • Eve

  • the Garden of Eden

  • the sun

  • the moon

  • the stars

  • the animals

  • the sea

  • or the six days of creation.

Instead, his emphasis is on thrones, dominions, rulers, authorities, Christ's supremacy, His resurrection, and the reconciliation of all things through Him.

That context deserves careful consideration.


The Context Must Determine the Meaning

The words "all things" do not always mean every individual thing in existence throughout all time.

Throughout Scripture, the phrase "all things" often refers to all things within the context being discussed.

The immediate context of Colossians is Christ's supremacy, His resurrection, His Kingdom, His authority, and God's purpose accomplished through Him.

For that reason, I believe Paul is describing the new order established through God's exalted Messiah rather than teaching that Jesus personally created the Genesis universe.

Whether readers agree or disagree with that conclusion, the context itself should be allowed to determine the meaning instead of assuming Genesis creation is being discussed before the passage has been examined.


Conclusion

Colossians 1:16 does indeed say that "all things were created."

The real question is not whether they were created.

The real question is:

Which "all things" is Paul referring to?

When the surrounding verses are carefully examined, Paul's emphasis is upon Christ's exaltation, His authority, His supremacy, and the reconciliation of all things through Him.

This opens the possibility that Paul is speaking about the new order God established in His Messiah after His resurrection and exaltation, rather than the original creation recorded in Genesis.

Every reader should therefore examine the whole context carefully before concluding that Colossians 1:16 teaches that Jesus created the Genesis heavens and earth.

EXPOSING The Oneness Pentecostal Faith!

Ephesians 5:11

And do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even expose them.

The Oneness Pentecostal Faith, (correctly) do NOT believe GOD is three called the TRINITY.

Above is The Catholic TRINITY diagram and confession of faith, which most of Christianity have adopted as the foundation and confession of their own faith.

However, very sadly the enemy has still deceived The Oneness Pentecostal Faith, by deceiving them into (wrongly) believing the Father is the SON, which in the other hand of the TRINITY faith (correctly) do NOT believe the Father is the SON.

Above is a diagram showing the foundation and confession of how The Oneness Pentecostal Faith
 believe GOD the Father is the SON.

Let's all do our part and help clear up another great and terrible confusion and deception.

The Simple Biblical facts prove that the whole Bible plainly, and clearly teaches the Father is NOT the SON, but as Jesus said in John 10:36, and John 20:17, that He is the SON of His One True Father GOD John 17:3.

When the Bible has not been taken out of context, or when false Translations have not been used as is often sadly the case, and when we simply and clearly understand the truth, we discover we do not need to be a Bible scholar, or a Scientist, but instead, just an ordinary man like me off the street to understand what is so simple to understand, that there are NO such teachings from the beginning of the Bible to the end, saying or teaching Jesus is the Father, or that the Father is the same being as His SON, or that GOD who is the same being as the Father is GOD the SON.

May I please show you ONE simple scripture out of many proving the Father is NOT the SON?

Let's turn to John 14:11, and see what Jesus said, about Himself and His Father.

Let's examine in just one scripture, what Jesus clearly said, and see what Jesus clearly did NOT say in John 14:11?

Berean Literal Bible

Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.

Did you see what Jesus did say: Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me.

Did you see what Jesus did NOT say: Believe Me that I am the Father, and the Father is Me.

Did you notice how there are TWO SEPARATE beings in what Jesus said?

1. The Father,

2. Is in the SON

TWO separate beings do not add up as ONE being as the Father alone.

We instead see there is the Father, and there is the SON, who are NOT ONE being, but are TWO separate beings who act as ONE in UNITIY, agreement, and purpose, as a Father and SON.

The Biblical facts are simple and obvious.

GOD the Father never, ever said He was His SON Jesus.

The SON of GOD Jesus never, ever said He was GOD or the Father.

When the Bible is correctly understood, we will correctly understand there are NO teachings from the beginning to the end teaching GOD or the Father is the SON.

This explains away all Bible CONTRADICTIONS, and explains why there are countless Bible CONTRADICTIONS within The Oneness Pentecostal Faith and The Trinity faith.

And this also explains why there are NO such teachings throughout the whole Bible, saying Christians MUST believe GOD is the SON, or that the SON is GOD or the Father.

But instead the truth is, there are countless teachings saying Christians MUST believe GOD sent and Gave His SON, and that Jesus is the Christ, the SON of His One True Father GOD, as we read in John 3:16, and John 20:31.

If the Father were the SON, then there would be no point in the Father sending and giving His SON in the first place, as He would simply come as GOD the Father and say I am GOD the Father who has come as flesh, and yet there are NO such words by the Father saying I am the SON who has come down as the baby Jesus.

The shocking truth is that as the TRINITY God is a false God and a false Christ, and a false Gospel, the same shocking facts apply for the Oneness Pentecostal Faith, who also DENY the Christ and the Father, by believing and teaching the SON is the same GOD or Father He was Begotten from, as said by 1 John 2:22

Berean Literal Bible

Who is the liar, except the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son.

Notice how we read in 1 John 2:23

Everyone denying the Son does not have the Father. The one confessing the Son has the Father also.

If we say and believe the SON is GOD, we then simply DENY the SON of GOD, and this is how we are deceived, into DENYING the Christ, which also DENIES the Father and the SON.

And yet the true Christians who only believe what the Bible teaches that Jesus is the Son of His One True GOD and NOT GOD or the Father, are classed as heretics by the Trinity and Oneness Pentecostal Faith, and are treated as antichrists.

1 Corinthians 8:6 makes this very clear that GOD the Father is GOD the Father alone, and is NOT the SON by saying: yet to us there is one God the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we through Him.

Let us who know the truth, who are truly blessed, who are few, keep praying for the lost, testifying and declaring the truth from the roof tops, with gentleness, love and kindness, always giving thanks to GOD through His Jesus Christ our High Priest, Mediator, and Advocate, Amen.

I am Simon Brown, and I hope I have at least, encouraged you to do as Jesus said, seek and you will find.
