Who Is Jesus Christ According to Christianity?

Direct Answer

Yes — according to Christianity, Jesus Christ is the Creator God, the Lord from heaven, now exalted above every name.

The Bible identifies Jesus as the one by whom all things were created and for whom all things exist (Colossians 1:16). Les Feldick teaches that Jesus is not a created being but the Creator Himself, the Sustainer of the universe, now positioned far above all principality and power, and that one day every human being will know Him as Creator.

Key Scriptures

Colossians 1:16 — This verse states plainly that all things were created by Christ and for Christ — the clearest biblical statement of His identity as Creator.

Ephesians 1:20-21 — This passage shows Christ's present position as risen and exalted far above every principality and every name that is named.

1 Corinthians 15:47 — Paul calls Jesus 'the Lord from heaven,' distinguishing Him from Adam, who was made from the dust of the earth.

What Does the Bible Say?

The Bible explicitly identifies Jesus Christ as the Creator of the universe. Colossians 1:16 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." This places Christ before all created things and makes Him their source and their goal. Scripture also reveals His present exaltation. Ephesians 1:20-21 says God "set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come." Paul makes the same distinction in 1 Corinthians 15:47: "The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven." The first man, Adam, was created from the dust, but Jesus is called the Lord from heaven — not a created being, but the Lord Himself.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About Jesus Christ?

Les Feldick teaches that Jesus Christ is the Creator God and not a created being. He points to 1 Corinthians 15:47 and emphasizes that "the second man is not a created being, it is the Lord Himself from heaven." He says that Jesus Christ is God, is the Creator, and is the Sustainer of the whole universe, and that "we must never lose sight of that. Otherwise our Gospel is a farce" (Clip 3). Les also insists that Jesus is far above every name, including all the gods of mythology, Far Eastern religions, and the New Age movement. He describes Ephesians 1:21 as teaching that Christ is above everything that is named, not only in this world but also in the world to come, and that "He hath put all things under His feet" (Clips 2, 5). He repeatedly applies to Jesus the full title "the Lord Jesus Christ," saying that it is the most inclusive term for Him in His post-resurrection experience. He also teaches that Jesus had to be the Omnipotent, Omniscient Creator God; if He had been anything less, His death would have had no power to pay the penalty for every human being (Clips 1, 7). Because Jesus is the Creator, the New Testament constantly gives Him credit as Creator, and Les warns against bringing "God the Son" down to the level of mankind's other gods, calling it blasphemy. He teaches that one day every human being — including the lost at the great white throne — will know Him as Creator (Clips 4, 6).

Is Jesus Christ a Created Being?

Les Feldick directly answers this: the second man is not a created being, it is the Lord Himself from heaven. He contrasts Jesus with Adam, who was created from the dust of the earth, and says that Christ is the Creator Himself, not just another created being.

How Is Jesus Different From the Gods of Other Religions?

Les teaches that Jesus is far above all principality, power, might, and dominion, and above every name that is named — including all the gods of mythology, the gods of Far Eastern religions, and the gods of the New Agers. He says anyone who brings God the Son down to the level of mankind's dreaming gods commits blasphemy.

Why Does It Matter That Jesus Is the Creator?

Les says if Jesus had been anything less than the Omnipotent, Omniscient, All-Knowing God, His death would be for nothing and He would have died just like the thieves beside Him. Because He was the Creator and the God of glory, He could suffer the punishment and penalty for every human being.

What Does the Title 'Lord Jesus Christ' Mean?

Les teaches that Lord Jesus Christ is the most inclusive term we can put on our Lord in His post-resurrection experience. He is Lord of lords, still the Jesus of Nazareth, the man God, but also the Christ, the Messiah of Israel.
