Bible Note: Tim, Thanks for all of your help. I'm sorry but I see [Col.1:16] as: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. I see it as the "him" is in reference to [v.15]: Who is the *image* of the *invisible God*, the firstborn of every creature. Correct me if what I'm seeing is not correct but: [v13]Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. [v.14]In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. [v.18]And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. [v.19] For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell. Clearly there is reference to Jesus but there is also reference to [ver.3] "We give thanks to God **and** the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you." The passage does not read [God, our Lord Jesus Christ]. [John 1:14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the **only begotten** of the Father,) full of grace and truth. ***NOTE****IMPORTANT**** The definition of begotten: [websters] "To cause to exist or occur; produce". It appears as though you believe in Trinity as the Godhead. So let me ask you, if the Godhead is all seperate but equal Gods then why is it that Jesus refers to "my GOD" in [Mark 15:34] "And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" If Jesus were part of a Godhead then first, why would he feel forsaken, and second, why wouldn't he know he couldn't have been forsaken? Jesus could not have been forsaken because the Godhead could not have continued to exist without him and if he were the God would have know that. |
