Col 1 By Him all things were created.
Gen 1 God created the heavens and the earth.
Let's take a look at the creation...
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word
(G3056), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
λόγος
logos
Thayer Definition:
1) of
speech
1a) a word,
uttered by a living voice, embodies a conception or idea
1b) what
someone has said
Ok so HOW did God create?...
Genesis 1:3 And
God said,
Let there be light: and there was light.
God spoke with "logos" (speech) thus created.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten
(G3439) of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
μονογενής
monogenēs
Thayer Definition:
1) single of its kind, only
1a) used of only sons or daughters (viewed
in relation to their parents)
1b) used of Christ, denotes the only
begotten son of God
People have been indoctrinated to believe the "logos" was a "person" from eternity.
Jesus was in the plan and mind of God from the beginning, but not as a "person" until he was born of a virgin, Mary.
God Bless!
