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

    One of my joys in life is wondering if there will be 2.67 billion people asking why He could not get the right answers to them. And then I hope some of those 97% will be sent to me so I can remind them that I did try.

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

    I don't think you realize what you're saying. That God Almighty with all of His power and everything that He has and I mean it's all very big stuff. That something like that would come down here and let someone like me spit on Him. You can't be serious.

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

    Why in the world would God want to be a man (which He can't because He's God) and put aside His God Head? What purpose would that serve? Do you have just one verse to answer this question?

    Does John 1:1 say Jesus is God

    There whole concept and I mean there whole concept is based on that a man could not redeem us and so it had to be a god. But the Bible teaches a man had to do it. So they say well, okay he was part man. So in their mind there are two. You are a mere man if you're a male. And Jesus was a man...

    Does John 1:1 say Jesus is God

    I use "mere man" because I'm having a conversation with one on here who puts it that way. He says a "mere man"

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

    I was with my boss today and I humbled myself in the meeting. Made myself of no reputation. I relinquished my glory, authority, and power as a man. Does that mean I am really a cat?

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

    May I be so bold to ask what the difference is from your 2 Corinthians 5:19 that says God was in Christ and a hundred and fifty other verses that say God and Christ are in me?

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

    He was not a mere man (A regular dude) that was born from normal parents. He was God's only son (at least since Adam) that came. This man came in the likeness and fashion of other men but was not a regular man. He was the son. The one who would end up being God's son who He has made both Lord...

    Now Wrangler I have to say this because I believe it to be the truth. Your statement above is brilliant.

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

    Where in these 3 verses does it say Jesus emptied himself because I don't see the word empty. 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    This is for those who say Jesus had to be God because a mere man could not do the job... How does God's son who He has made both Lord and Christ become a mere man? How does this Lord and Christ who God glorified, justified, sanctified, anointed, and ordained become a mere man? The one God made...

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

    I get thrown out of churches often. Walked off the property in the last Church just a few months ago because I went to the bathroom. Intimidated I believe is what we are talking about. When groups form and have a leadership structure is when like in any government you will see rules and...

    I don't see a verse in my Bible that says Jesus emptied himself.

    Does John 1:1 say Jesus is God

    I will do this John 10:33 for you... Had the translators rendered the Greek text in verse 33 as they did in verse 34 and 35, then it would read, "...you, a man, claim to be a god." In the next two verses, John 10:34 and 35, the exact same word (theos, without the article) is translated as "god"...

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

    Can we talk about what you call a mere man? How does God's son who He has made both Lord and Christ become a mere man? How does this Lord and Christ who God glorified, justified, sanctified, anointed, and ordained become a mere man? The one God made to be our mediator, advocator, and...

    Does John 1:1 say Jesus is God

    Why do I need to read John 1:1 again? Will my OP change if I read it again?

    Ephesians 3:19 Says ...that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Does that make me God?
