Who is the real Creator of Heaven and earth?
Let’s weigh the evidence and see where it is.
Jesus is the Creator or Co-Creator
(5 verses in error or misunderstanding)
Ephesians 3:9 — "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:"
(This is the number 1 text for proof that Jesus had some part in the Genesis creation. But the words “by Jesus Christ” are NOT in the Greek, they were added by translators. The majority of translations do not have these added words but they are in the King James version.
Hebrews 1:2 — “Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed
heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;”
(worlds was mistranslated in place of “ages.” Christ is the heir, think into the future, the New creation which is what we are all anticipating in "the ages to come," not the Genesis creation, but the New Jerusalem. That is what is meant here.)
Colossians 1:16 — "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:"
(the context of the chapter flip-flops back and forth between God the Father and Jesus. Verses 11 through 13 are the Father, verses 14 and 15 are about Jesus, verses 16 and 17 are the Father, verses 18 to 22 are Jesus again. Without discernment verse 16 is used to make Jesus into the creator instead of the Father. This is what happens when someone reads just one selective verse without context.)
John 1:3 — "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." (this actually is about the Father in these opening verses of John 1)
1 Corinthians 8:6 — "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him."
(this is not implying the Genesis creation. Creation is not mentioned at all.)
