Yes — Colossians 1 teaches that Jesus, as God the Son, is the Creator of all things.
Paul writes that by Jesus all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, and that all things were created by Him and for Him. Les Feldick emphasizes that this is the same God as Genesis — God the Son, who took on human flesh and became the visible image of the invisible God.
Colossians 1:16 — This is the key verse where Paul explicitly attributes the creation of all things to Jesus Christ.
Colossians 1:15 — Explains Jesus as the visible image of the invisible God, the one Les says stepped out of the Godhead.
Colossians 1:17 — States that Jesus existed before all things and that by Him all things consist.
Colossians 1:15-17 declares that Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God and the firstborn of every creature. Verse 16 states, "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 adds, "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." The Scripture plainly attributes the act of creation to the Son, Jesus Christ, and also states that everything was made for Him.
Les Feldick identifies the Creator of Colossians 1 as God the Son, Jesus Christ. He teaches that God the Son stepped out of the invisible Godhead and became the visible manifestation of the whole — the Lord Jesus of Nazareth. Paul, by inspiration, attributes all creation to Jesus: everything in heaven and earth, visible and invisible, including thrones, dominions, principalities, and even Satan's power and realm. Les stresses that all things were created by Him and for Him, and that Christ is the sustainer of the universe, holding all things together. He also warns that it is blasphemy to bring God the Son down to the level of man-made gods, since He is the Creator.
In Colossians 1:15, Jesus is "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature." Les Feldick explains that God is invisible Spirit, but at the appropriate time one member of the Godhead took on visibility. That one is "the Lord Jesus of Nazareth," the visible manifestation of the invisible God.
Les Feldick states that "Christ as we know Him in the New, was the Creator of the Old." He points out that all the rest of Scripture attributes creation to God the Son, and that the Son is the same God in Colossians as in Genesis, except now He has taken on human flesh.
Les says Colossians 1:16 "even goes into the realm of Satan and his power." Everything — thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers — was created by Christ and for Christ. There is nothing in the universe outside the Son's creative work.
Paul writes that "all things were created by him, and for him." Les expands this by saying Christ is the Creator and sustainer of the universe, and that everything was created by Him and for Him. In addition, He is the Head of the Body, the church, and all our movement and life come from Him.
Jesus the Word who Spoke Creation
Les shows that God the Son is the communicator within the Godhead — the Word who speaks creation into existence and who later was made flesh in Jesus.
God the Son as Visible Creator
Les directly identifies God the Son as the Creator named in Colossians 1:16, and explains that He is the same God as in Genesis, now in human flesh.
Christ the Creator and Sustainer
Les teaches that Christ is the Creator and sustainer of the universe — everything was created by Him and for Him.
The New Testament Creator of the Old
Les says Christ as we know Him in the New Testament was the Creator of the Old, and that Jesus is the fleshly manifestation of the invisible eternal God.
All Scripture Attributes Creation to the Son
Les shows that Hebrews 1:2 and Colossians both attribute creation to God the Son, Jesus Christ.
The Blasphemy of Denying Christ's Creator Role
Les says it is blasphemy to compare God the Son to man-made gods, since He is the Creator of everything.
The Invisible God and Visible Christ
Les explains that the Godhead is invisible Spirit, and that the Son became the visible image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.
Christ the Creator and Head of the Body
Les ties Christ's creative work to His Headship over the Body, noting that we live and move because of Him.
Colossians 1:15: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Introduces Jesus as the visible image of the invisible God.
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 answering how creation happened — by Jesus Christ.
Colossians 1:17: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Shows Jesus was before all things and upholds all things.
Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Les links Colossians 1:16 back to Genesis 1:1 to show the same Creator.
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;
Les cites this verse to show that God made the worlds through His Son.
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.
Les uses this to prove the Word who spoke creation became flesh in Jesus.
Colossians 1:16 says, "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible...". Les Feldick identifies this Creator as God the Son, Jesus Christ, the visible image of the invisible God.
No. Les Feldick teaches that Jesus is God the Son and the Creator of everything. When Colossians calls Him "the firstborn of every creature," Les explains that He was there first — He is not part of the creation but the One who made it.
Les explains that the triune God is Spirit and invisible, and that God the Son stepped out of the Godhead to become the visible manifestation. Paul attributes creation specifically to the Son, so in that sense it is Christ who created all things.
Les says it is blasphemy to bring God the Son down to the level of the various gods of mankind's dreaming. He is the Creator, and one day every human being will know Him as such.
