    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    Yes it says that right in the verse... powers, thrones, rulers and authorities. It does not say sun, moon, and oceans.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    Are you asking me for the verse concerning highly exalted him? See below... Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    See this is what I mean. You give me the verse below that you say means Jesus is God. Or that this verse is the correct one saying why Jesus had to be God. But the verse does not say that Jesus had to be God. It says God sent him, and is with him very much like God is with me. And I'm not God...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    I am an expert in biblical research and don't come here for you to help me. I come here to help those who are here to better understand who Jesus Christ is.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    Many have said they have answered my question and most say it without ever leaving a verse to show they answered the question as you also do here. The verses they do leave when they leave them prove not to answer the question but just continue to say that only a God could redeem us. But the...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    If he was not like a mortal man like Adam was... then he could not have done the job. The Scripture is clear that one guy messed it up and another guy fixed it. A god-man could not have done it.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    Jesus is not any human. He's the son of God who God highly exalted when He rose him out from among the dead and made him to be both Lord and Christ.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    Why is not a different question. It's the same if I ask you what benefit is there for you to drink water or if I ask why do you thing water. I'm looking for what is the result of having Jesus to be God. What does a God in human form produce? Nobody on here can answer the question. What they all...

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    Okay I read it again and it still reads... thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. These are the things Christ will need to run his new Church which is called the Body of Christ.

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    Many churches teach God called certain people because the New Testament has places where it talks about those who God called. I think God called everyone and only certain people answered the call. In Ephesians 1:4, it says God chose us in Christ beforehand, and in Revelation 17:8, it says...

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    You are saying all things mean everything in the universe. But Colossians is not saying that. Colossians is saying thrones or powers or rulers or authorities. These things were created by him and for him to use in his new church called the body of Christ.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    What you are saying is not what the Bible says and I state that in the OP. The Bible said a man had to do it.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    What you list are the requirements for the Messiah, the son of God, and not God. I stopped reading when I came to the part where you say "If Jesus were merely a good man..." because nobody in my camp on this website ever said that the son of God was a mere man.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    The question is why? The question is not is he God or should he be. The question is why should he be God. What benefit is there to have a god-man?

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    Do you have a verse to go along with that?

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    The spirit of God is in me too. And I'm not God nor was my spirit here before I was. God created my spirit for me when I got saved. He did not have one picked out for me with my name on it a trillion years ago.

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    I read your post and the same kind of post that many others post. The all things are not everything that was ever created like the oceans and planets. It's right there in the verse that tells you what the all things are. They are thrones, dominions, principalities and powers. These are the all...

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    What are the all things that were created? It's listed in the verse and they are not the planets.

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    Holy Smokes could you be correct? So many, in fact all of my Christian friends say I'm wrong when I say perhaps those are not of God if they believe that Jesus did not come. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of...

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    I'm the one that confessed that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. I'm not the one that confessed not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh.
