Yes — Scripture reveals Jesus as the eternal Creator God, not merely a prophet.
The Bible identifies Jesus as 'the image of the invisible God' and says that 'by him were all things created' (Colossians 1:15-16). Les Feldick emphasizes this truth constantly, teaching that Jesus was not just another great man or one more prophet but the Eternal God Himself. Recognizing who Jesus truly is matters because the world's confusion about His identity is, as Les says, 'the biggest problem in Christianity today.'
Colossians 1:15 — This verse identifies Jesus as the visible image of the invisible God, showing He is far more than a prophet.
Colossians 1:16 — This verse directly attributes all of creation to Jesus, proving He is the Creator God.
The Bible teaches that Jesus is 'the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature' (Colossians 1:15). The next verse explains that '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.' Scripture also calls the promised Son 'The mighty God' (Isaiah 9:6), and Jesus Himself told Philip, 'he that hath seen me hath seen the Father' (John 14:9). These verses present Christ as much more than a prophet — they reveal Him as God.
Les Feldick teaches that the world doesn't really know who Jesus Christ is and that this confusion is 'the biggest problem in Christianity today.' He strongly affirms that Jesus Christ is 'very, very God' — not an offspring of God or something created by God. Les points to Colossians 1:15-16 to show that God the Son stepped out of the invisible Godhead and became the visible manifestation of God, and that by Him all things were created. He also stresses that Jesus of Nazareth was 'the manifestation in the flesh of the Creator God of Genesis 1.' Les teaches that Jesus was God in the womb, God in the manger, God throughout His growing-up years, and God when He began His ministry. His earthly miracles and signs were performed to prove to the nation of Israel that He was not just another great man but the Eternal God.
Les Feldick says the biggest problem in Christianity today is that people do not really know who Jesus Christ is. He describes a woman who stopped listening to him after he said Jesus was God, calling it 'closing her eyes to all of the truth of Scripture.' Les teaches that Jesus is 'very, very God' and that reducing Him to a mere prophet — or to something created by God — is a serious error.
Les points to Colossians 1:15-16 as key evidence. The Son is 'the visible image of the invisible God' and 'by Him were all things created.' He explains that the triune God is Spirit and invisible, yet God the Son took on human flesh and became the visible manifestation of the whole Godhead. All things in heaven and earth — visible and invisible, thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers — were created by Him, which shows He is the same God as in Genesis 1.
Les teaches that the whole concept of Jesus' earthly ministry was to prove to the nation of Israel who He was. He performed miracles and signs so that Israel could understand that He was not just another great man but the Eternal God. Jesus never stopped being God — He was God in the womb, in the manger, in His growing-up years, and throughout His ministry.

men go up from Jerusalem? How in the world can it happen? Then all of a sudden, satellite and telstar and newscasts from all points of the earth, everyday occurrence. So now prophecy is believable. In the same way a lot of these other things, this so called mark of the beast where every individual will have to have it, or they can't buy and sell. Hey, it's getting so close, it's scary.
The Biggest Problem in Christianity
Les identifies the world's ignorance of who Jesus Christ is as the biggest problem in Christianity and explains that the same Jesus who created the universe is above every name.
Jesus Is Very God
Les shares a letter from a listener who rejected the teaching that Jesus is God, and points to Colossians 1:16 to show that by Jesus all things were created.
The Son, the Creator
Les explains that the Son is the visible image of the invisible God and that by the Son all things were created, including every power and even Satan himself.
The Mighty God
Les shows from Isaiah 9:6 that the coming King would be called 'The mighty God' and connects it with Jesus telling Philip, 'If you've seen me, you've seen the Father.'
The Visible Manifestation of God
Les teaches that God the Son stepped out of the invisible Godhead and became the visible manifestation of God, and that all things were created by Him.
Creator God in Flesh
Les says Jesus of Nazareth was the manifestation in the flesh of the Creator God of Genesis 1, correcting the idea that Jesus never amounted to anything until Bethlehem.
Eternal Creator God, Not Just a Prophet
Les explicitly declares that Jesus was not just a prophet but the Eternal Creator God, and that He was God in the womb, in the manger, and throughout His earthly ministry.
Colossians 1:15: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
This verse shows that Jesus is the visible manifestation 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:
This verse directly states that the Son created all things, proving He is the Creator God.
Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah calls the promised Son 'The mighty God,' showing that the coming Messiah is God Himself.
John 14:9: Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Jesus tells Philip that seeing Him is seeing the Father, confirming His deity.
Yes. Les Feldick points to John 14:9, where Jesus said to Philip, 'he that hath seen me hath seen the Father.' He also points to Isaiah 9:6, where the coming Son is called 'The mighty God.' Jesus is not merely a prophet; He is God.
Les teaches that this phrase identifies Jesus as the One who existed before all creation. Colossians 1:16 then says that by Him all things were created. He is not a created being; He is the Creator.
Les teaches that Jesus performed miracles and signs to prove to the nation of Israel who He was. He was not just another great man; He was the Eternal God manifest in the flesh.
