Yes — Jesus is the Creator of all things.
In Colossians 1:16, the Bible says that by God the Son all things were created — in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers — and that all things were created by Him and for Him. Les Feldick teaches that this means Christ is not a created being or merely another prophet, but God the Son, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.
Colossians 1:16 — This is the central verse directly stating that all things were created by the Son.
Colossians 1:15 — Identifies the Son as the visible image of the invisible God, showing He is God the Creator.
1 Corinthians 15:47 — Contrasts the first man as created and the second man as the Lord from heaven, showing Christ is not a created being.
The Bible's testimony is clear: the Son is the Creator of all things. Colossians 1:15 calls Him "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature." Verse 16 then says, "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." Verse 17 says, "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." Hebrews 1:3 says the Son is "the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person," upholding all things by the word of His power. First Corinthians 15:47 contrasts the first man, who was earthy, with "the second man" who is "the Lord from heaven."
Les Feldick teaches that Jesus Christ is not merely a prophet or one name among the gods, but God the Son, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. He emphasizes that the triune God is invisible Spirit, and at the right time one member of the Godhead, God the Son, stepped out of that invisibility and became visible in the person of Jesus of Nazareth — "the visible image of the invisible God." Les connects Colossians 1:16 to Genesis 1:1, teaching that the God of creation was God the Son, who spoke the word and brought all things into being. Everything in heaven and earth — visible and invisible, thrones, dominions, principalities, powers, even Satan himself — was created by Him and for Him. He insists that Christ was not another created being but the Creator Himself, the Lord from heaven, who is before all things and holds all things together. For Les, losing this truth makes the Gospel a farce.
In Colossians 1:15-16, Paul, by inspiration, ties the Son's identity to creation. The Son is "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature," and "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." Les Feldick emphasizes that the God of creation in Genesis 1 was God the Son, and that everything was spoken into being by Him.
No. Les Feldick is adamant that Christ was not just another created being; He was the Creator Himself. He cites 1 Corinthians 15:47, where the first man is earthy and "the second man is the Lord from heaven," and Colossians 1:17, where "he is before all things." God the Son did not come into existence at Bethlehem; He has always been and came out of eternity past.
Yes. Les points to Paul's list in Colossians 1:16 — thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers — and says this goes even into the realm of Satan and his power. Satan himself is a created being, and every power that has ever been exercised was created by God the Son.
Les says we live in a day when New Age people are reducing Christ to nothing but another prophet, another name among the gods. He tells believers never to be taken in by such teaching, because the Lord Jesus is "the very author and finisher of our faith." He also shares an example of a woman who stopped listening when he said Jesus was God, and he says she was closing her eyes to all the truth of Scripture that Jesus Christ is very God.
Jesus Is Not Just Another Prophet
Les teaches that New Age theology reduces Christ to just another name among the gods, but Scripture shows the Lord Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith.
The Son Is the Visible Image of the Invisible God
Les explains Colossians 1:15-16 as teaching that God the Son is the Creator of all things and the sustainer of the universe, and that everything was created by Him and for Him.
Even Satan Is a Created Being
Les ties Colossians 1:16 to Genesis 1:1 and stresses that every being, including Satan and every power, was created by God the Son.
The Same God in Genesis and Colossians
Les teaches that God the Son stepped out of the invisible Godhead and became the visible Christ; He is the same God who created all things in Genesis.
God the Son Took On Visibility
Les explains that the triune God is invisible Spirit, and at the appropriate time one member of the Godhead became the visible manifestation of the invisible God.
Before All Things and Holding All Things Together
Les reminds listeners that God the Son spoke creation into being, He is before all things from eternity, and He holds all things together.
The Second Man Is the Lord From Heaven
Les insists Christ was not another created being but the Creator Himself, and losing this makes our Gospel a farce.
Jesus Christ Is Very God
Les addresses pushback against calling Jesus God and shows from Colossians 1:16 that Scripture identifies Him as the Creator of all things.
Colossians 1:15: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Shows the Son is the visible manifestation of the invisible God and existed before all creation.
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 central verse directly stating Jesus as Creator of all things, including invisible powers.
Colossians 1:17: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Shows His eternal pre-existence and sustaining role.
Hebrews 1:3: Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Describes the Son as the visible image and sustainer of all things.
1 Corinthians 15:47: The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
Shows Christ is not a created being but the Lord from heaven, as Les emphasizes.
Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Les connects this creation account to God the Son's creative work.
No. Les Feldick teaches that Christ was not another created being but the Creator Himself. Paul calls Him "the second man" who is "the Lord from heaven," and Colossians 1:15-16 shows He existed before all creation and created all things.
Yes. Les points to Colossians 1:16's list of thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers and says that even Satan himself is a created being — created by God the Son.
The triune God is invisible Spirit. At the appropriate time, one member of the Godhead took on visibility, becoming the visible manifestation of the invisible God in the person of Jesus of Nazareth.
Everything in heaven and earth was made by God the Son and exists for His purposes. Nothing is outside His creative work.
