1 | FATHER fixation? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 18687 | ||
Charis, I don't understand the part of your comment (I well understand that all things were created by God the Father,) Where does that leave us with Col. 1:13-20 where all things were created by the Son not the Father? CDBJ | ||||||

Dear CDBJ, Good morning to you, and blessings in Jesus' name! Some would say we have a 'Bible Contradition!' Personally, I don't believe there are any contradictions in the Word. With that said as a starting point, I believe that Jesus is God, and God created all things, so it would be correct to say that all things were created by the Son. I say this in light of: "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son," Colossians 1:13 NASB, which (to me) says that the focus of our faith, worship, and very existence has been 'transferred' to Jesus. I find this consistent with the entire New Testament. I do not think that this in any way 'lowers' the Persons of God the Father and the Holy Spirit, but instead broadens our understanding of the fullness of God. I still pursue the separate attributes of my Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit, but all in all, the Lord Jesus Christ is where I fix my faith, as is encouraged, even commanded at the conclusion of God's Word. Thank you, brother, for your comments. Now I have started, for those that might still be interested, a separate thread about fixing our faith on Jesus. I all honesty, I am surprised that no one has brought this topic to the attention of a Christian forum. (including myself! :-)) In Christ Jesus, charis |
