i don't think i can explain it yet not sure if you can understand if i say it like this

For by him were all things created,

he is the firstborn of all creature he is the image of the invisible God

by the genes of christ jesus all creature has been made

by the flesh/image of the son of God every creature has been designed and created

what does angels look like? they probably look like a man right?
was Jesus a created being then?

sorry i do not believe in trinity
and how would i return when the place is too foreign i can't seem to understand what your beliefs and why you believe it
IOW, you reject the Christian Bible.

Gen 1 God said let US make man in OUR image according to OUR likeness.
Matt 28 ... baptizing them in the Name (singular) of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The angels? They are also called son of gods like Adam.

Don't let people confuse you. There is One omnipresent God the same as you and I can be omnipresent on the internet in all the countries in the world, while being One person. We might even identify ourselves by different names. Cooper is my name on the forum, Jesus was God's name on earth.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
ERROR, what did the Lord Jesus say in Matthew 19:4 "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,"
ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE JESUS?

you have two choices, a. believe the Lord Jesus and find out why he said, let "us". make man in "our" image, or
b. you have a contridiction in scriptures. for "he" in Matthews 19:4 is a single person as well as "his" and "him" in Genesis 1:26, who actually made them male and female.

your choice.

He was referring to God, which includes Himself.

No contradiction whatsoever. Jesus is God the Creator.
Col 1 By Him all things were created.
17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
God the father in OT, Angel of the Lord, Preincarnate Christ in OT, as is the Spirit of yahweh!
The NT made it crystal clear, but signs were there in OT!

Oh come ON!

If you read verse 14 you will see Jesus is the WORD, and He was there in the beginning.
I kn ow, I was refuting the one here who seems to think Jesus only existed in the mind of God, and had no reality until was born!
