    In our image..

    "In Hebrew, the word translated "image" means "the likeness of one subject expressed in another." We are made with a soul and spirit. Our soul, like God's soul, has a rational mind, will, emotions, creative talents, the invisble you. Our spirit is the life, love, joy, faith that communes with...

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

    That is why Jesus, being God, confounds you. We see God in Him, an exact expression and illumination of God in the flesh, Who relinquished His glory, put it aside temporarily as a man, a humble servant. Likewise, we are to approach God in humility. This is Christ-like, godly. As I said, love...

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

    For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite. >God is humble. Here you have God, Who is...

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

    Jesus did say Matt. 11:28-30. Since He is the exact expression of God, how is His Father any different? Humility is required to be saved/ born again. You can't be prideful when you come to God Some of those verses are charges to us, to be humble, which is Christlike, godly. Oops, correction >>>...

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

    "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 My favorite passage btw. Since the...

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

    So for 1000 years, that will be your occupation, instructiong the Trinitarians, while you feel elated with each and every student? A prideful arrogance _ a smile of condescension _ looking down on all the ignorant people? No, this is another delusion, for all will be filled with the knowledge...

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

    97% of 2.67 billion Christians are serious about that. He's coming back soon, not to be spit on, but to judge the world. Then you can ask Him yourself, if you can handle that?

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

    To suffer, serve and die for us. A humble God came down to us, to live on our level, to relate directly to us, so mankind could experience God up close and personal.

    Considering the Red Horseman of Revelation 6

    I believe the Four Horses and their riders have been released. The White Horsemen is the Antichrist (whom was given a crown = corona virus) and a bow, to inflict it with. The Red Horse takes peace away from the world. Well, one war cannot take peace from the world, but many will follow. Once you...

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

    Seriously, if you have a boss, you are not in authority, you are a slave to your boss. Jesus is God, preexisted with the Father and the Holy Spirit. All three were present at His baptism, Jesus got dunked, the Father spoke and the Holy Spirit descended. The pre-incarnate Jesus is the creator...

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

    "Made himself of no reputation" is a common translation, but there are other translations. But what does that mean? He relinquished His glory, authority, power as God and became a man. He was in the "form of God" ( vs. 6)4 and made himself into the form of man. Many translations say emptied...

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    The pre-incarnate Jesus (God) identifies Himself as "I Am" to Moses in Exodus 3:14. It is an introduction that would be later fully revealed through Jesus: I AM the Light of the World ... I AM the way, the truth and the life ... I AM the Good Shepherd ... I AM THE Bread which comes down from...

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    You You do not discern scripture. It is evident that you lack the presence if the Holy Spirit who lives in us and gives discernment, because you don't accept Him either as a person. I don't what would be more insulting to imply that someone is of the Devil or if someone is not a person at all...

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

    Every person who ever lived was a mere man (or woman) except Christ. He was the God/man. He had a body soul & Spirit. His spirit, (non-physical part of Him is God. God became flesh and dwelt among us. But You wrestle and distort that concept. You can't grasp it. Jesus was very aware of this...

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

    Let's not leave out Philippians 2:6 "being in the form of God ..."

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

    This is foolishness, reaching, trying to distort and twist what the scriptures says and this scripture plainly says Jesus is the CREATOR OF EVERYTHING. It is a thorn in the side for the non-Trinnitarians, so they struggle with this and many other passages that clearly describe Jesus as GOD. The...

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    Very scholarly! Is this your study or someone else's?

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    Because what you claim is not good! The Gospel of John is different than the other three. It is said that it is more theological and spiritual. John starts off with Jesus' deity. "In the beginning was the Word (JESUS) and the Word was with God and the Word was God". ... "the Word became flesh...
