John Carlos SanbuenaventuraITO ANG SABI NI JOHN FLORES : Does Colossians 1:16 teach that the Lord Jesus Christ created all things? The verse clearly said, “For by him all things were created…all things were created by him and for him” (Col. 1:16 NIV)
ANSWER:
Nowhere in the verse that says “Christ is God” and “Jesus created all things.” What the verse actually said:
“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.” (Col. 1:16 NIV)
[Does Colossians 1:16 teach that the Lord Jesus Christ created all things?]
YES. THAT IS REALLY THE CONTEXT OF THE TEXT. CHRIST IS THE ORIGIN OF CREATION, HE IS THE REASON FOR CREATION AND EVERYTHING WAS CREATED FOR HIM. IF JESUS IS ONLY HUMAN THEN GOD IS NECESSITATED TO CREATED THE ENTIRE WORLD FOR A MERE HUMAN BEING. GOD CREATED EVERYTHING FOR CHRIST BECAUSE CHRIST IS GOD.
IF CHRIST IS ONLY HUMAN HE CANNOT BE THE REASON AND GOAL OF CREATION BECAUSE HE IS PART OF THE CREATED WORLD. THE STARS AND THE WORLD ARE CREATED FOR THE GLORY OF GOD NOT FOR MERE HUMAN BEING:
Ps 19:1 [KJV] “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”
IF CHRIST IS GOD IT FITS PERFECTLY. EVERYTHING WERE CREATED FOR CHRIST NOT FOR FELIX MANALO. INSTEAD, EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE FLOWERS AND THE STONES, THE WATER AND FIRE, THE WIND AND THE SOIL WERE CREATED FOR CHRIST. FOR WHAT? TO DECLARE HIS GLORY BECAUSE HE IS GOD AND BEING GOD THE ENTIRE MATERIAL UNIVERSE IS HIS HANDY WORK… THEY ARE WORKS OF HIS ALMIGHTY POWER. THE ENTIRE COSMOS IS A MASTERPIECE OF GOD.
[The verse clearly said, “For by him all things were created…all things were created by him and for him” (Col. 1:16 NIV)
WELL, THIS IS VERY CLEAR: “ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM” SO CHRIST IS CREATOR…. “EVERYTHING WERE CREATED FOR HIM” THEN CREATION IS FOR THE GLORY AND HONOR OF CHRIST BECAUSE HE IS GOD AND HE IS THE CREATOR. JUST LIKE THE BEAUTIFUL PAINTING GIVES GLORY AND HONOR AND FAME TO THE MASTER WHO PAINTED IT.

HA HA HA….THE VERSE ATTEST THAT CHRIST IS THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS. BECAUSE EVERYTHING CAME INTO BEING THROUGH HIM AND FOR HIM. GOSH, THAT IS SO GREAT. NO MERE MAN CAN CLAIM SUCH A THING. IF CHRIST IS ONLY HUMAN THEN HE IS ONLY PART OF THE CREATED BEINGS SO IT IS WRONG THAT EVERYTHING CAME INTO BEING THROUGH HIM BECAUSE HE WAS CONCEIVED AND BORN LATER. THE WATER, EARTH, WIND AND FIRE ARE CREATED FOR CHRIST AND NOT FOR FELIX MANALO WHO IS A FAKE ANGEL AND ONLY HUMAN. A SINFUL HUMAN WITH RAPE CASE AND ADULTEROUS AFFAIRS.
SINCE CHRIST IS THE CREATOR AND GOAL OF CREATION THEN HE IS GOD. CREATION IS DONE BY GOD, THROUGH GOD AND FOR GOD. NO MORE NO LESS.
BECAUSE EVERYTHING CAME INTO EXISTENCE THROUGH CHRIST AND THROUGH CHRIST HE IS SUPERIOR TO ALL CREATED THINGS. IT MEANS HE IS HIGHER THAN THE HUMANS AND HIGHER THAN THE ANGELS. IF JESUS IS ONLY HUMAN THEN HE IS ONLY MADE OF DUST AND CANNOT BE SUPERIOR TO EVERYTHING ELSE:
Col 1:15 [GNB] “Christ is the visible likeness of the invisible God. He is the first-born Son, SUPERIOR TO ALL CREATED THINGS.”
HOW CAN A MERE CREATURE, A HUMAN ONLY BE SUPERIOR TO ALL CREATION. THE ONE WHO IS SUPERIOR TO ALL CREATION MUST BE “THE NON CREATED”. THAT IS WHY CHRIST IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF GOD. HE IS NOT CREATED BY GOD BUT BEGOTTEN. THUS, HE EXISTED BEFORE CREATION. ONLY GOD EXISTED BEFORE CREATION:
Col 1:17 [GNB] “CHRIST EXISTED BEFORE ALL THINGS, and in union with him all things have their proper place.”
IF JESUS IS ONLY HUMAN THEN MARY AND JOSEPH AND MOSES, DAVID, ABRAHAM, ETC CAME BEFORE HIM. INSTEAD, CHRIST EXISTED BEFORE ALL ELSE. HE IS THEN GOD WHO IS THE ONE BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE. NO MORE NO LESS.
