Yes, Jesus Christ is the Creator of the universe, the God of Genesis 1, who took on human flesh.
According to the evidence, Jesus Christ is the same God who created everything, manifesting Himself in the flesh. He is the 'I Am' who existed before Abraham and is the pre-eternal, self-existent God. The world often does not truly know who He is, but the Bible reveals His identity clearly.
John 8:58 — Jesus explicitly claims His pre-existence and deity, identifying Himself as the 'I Am', showing He existed before Abraham.
In John 8:58, Jesus said, 'Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.' This verse reveals that Jesus claimed to be the eternal, self-existent God who existed before Abraham. This echoes the divine name revealed in Exodus 3:14 where God said, 'I AM THAT I AM'. Additionally, Colossians 1:15 identifies Christ as 'the image of the invisible God', indicating that He fully represents God to humanity. The Bible consistently presents Jesus as more than a mere man; He is the divine Creator who took on human flesh.
Les Feldick emphasizes that Jesus Christ is the Creator of the universe, the same God who acted in Genesis 1. He repeatedly states that people often do not understand that Jesus of the New Testament is the Jehovah of the Old Testament, one and the same. Les explains that Jesus' earthly ministry was primarily to Israel under the law, but His identity transcends that, as He is the pre-eternal, self-existent 'I Am' who took on flesh and went to the cross. He also highlights that at His transfiguration and resurrection, Jesus was the same person, but in a glorified body.
Les Feldick teaches that Jesus Christ is the same God who created the universe. In Clip 3, he states, 'He's the Creator of the universe. That's who He is. He is the God of creation.' This is further supported in Clip 2, where he explains that people often think Jesus never amounted to anything until His birth, but in reality, He was the manifestation in the flesh of the Creator God of Genesis 1.
In Matthew 16:13-16, Jesus asked His disciples, 'Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?' After hearing various opinions, He asked, 'But whom say ye that I am?' Peter answered, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' Les points out that Peter did not yet understand the cross or resurrection, but he correctly identified Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God.
Les Feldick points out that the world does not truly know who Jesus is. In Clip 1, he says, 'the world doesn't really know who He is.' He also notes in Clip 5 that 'Too many people don't know.' The reason for this confusion may be because people focus only on His earthly ministry and fail to see His full divine identity as the Creator.

And now, here is Les Feldick.
The World's Misunderstanding
Les explains that the biggest problem in Christianity today is that people do not know who Jesus Christ really is; He is above every name and will defeat death, being the same Creator of the universe.
Jesus the Creator in Flesh
Les teaches that Jesus of Nazareth was the manifestation in the flesh of the Creator God of Genesis 1, correcting the mistaken idea that He only became significant at Bethlehem.
Creator of the Universe
Les directly answers the question, saying Jesus Christ is the Creator of the universe, the God of creation, who took on flesh to reconcile the world through the cross.
The I Am and Resurrected Body
Les highlights that Jesus claimed to be the 'I Am' before Abraham, the pre-eternal self-existent God, and after resurrection appeared in a glorified body while remaining the same person.
Same God as the Old Testament
Les teaches that Jesus of the New Testament is the Jehovah of the Old Testament, the God of Genesis 1, one and the same, manifested in the flesh.
Peter's Confession
Les explains that when Peter confessed 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,' he had no knowledge of the cross or resurrection yet, but he rightly identified who Jesus is.
Peter's Confession (Same Event)
Les recounts the same event in Matthew 16, noting that Peter's answer was the question that had to be answered at that time.
John 8:58: Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
This verse directly states Jesus' eternal nature and identity as the 'I Am', foundational to understanding His deity.
Colossians 1:15: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
This verse underscores that Christ reflects God's nature, relevant to His divine identity as taught by Les.
Matthew 16:16: And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Peter's confession is a key scriptural acknowledgment of Jesus' Messiahship and divine Sonship.
Les Feldick teaches that Jesus Christ is the Creator of the universe, the God of Genesis 1, who took on human flesh. He is the same Jehovah of the Old Testament, pre-eternal and self-existent, who came to earth to reconcile the world through His death on the cross.
Les points out that many people only think of Jesus in terms of His earthly ministry, failing to recognize that He is the divine Creator who existed before Bethlehem. He emphasizes that the world has been blinded and does not truly know His identity.
