Subject: God created Jesus? |
Bible Note: CiY127 - You request, "If you do not believe that Christ was created, then give book, chapter, and verse to prove it." ..... John 1:1-3, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being though Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." ..... Now do you still insist that God created Jesus? ..... Friend, I believe you may be confusing incarnation with creation. Please observe John 1:14, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory as of the only begotten Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." ..... The word "became" in this passage indicates transition not creation. The Word existed before He became man (see again v.2 of John 1). ..... Further proof that Christ was not created: "I and the Father are one [John 10:30]. ...... "...He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father?'" [John 14:9] ....... To say that God created Jesus is an extremely dangerous and anti-scriptural assertion that has broad ramifications, chief of which is denial of the deity of Christ. I am fairly confident that you do not mean to bring into question the deity of our Lord but rather were confusing incarnation (became flesh) with creation. The two terms are by no means synonymous. --Hank |
