Dear friends
Please review these 5 scriptural evidences:
1. Jesus recognized that the only God that his audience knew, the God of Israel, had created man and woman. He referred to God as "He" and did not claim for Himself any authorship.
Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female...,(Mathew 19:4)
2. Paul recognized that God created all things through Christ. This is clear in Ephesians 3:9 "...God, who created all things through Jesus Christ"
3. When preaching to the people of Athens, Paul recognizes God as the Creator: “God who made the world and all things in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by hands." (Acts 17:24) and Paul does it in his speech long before any mentioning of Jesus. When Paul mentions Jesus, he actually presents him as a man appointed by that Creator (17:31)
4. In writing to Timohty, Paul recognizes God as the creator of all good things (1 Tim 4:3,4), and Paul identifies "God" specifically as Our Father since the very beginning of his epistle, as He does over and over: "Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord." (1:2)
5. Peter refers to God as "faithful Creator". (1 P: 4:17-19) We know Peter is referring to the Father of Jesus and not to Jesus when He says "God", because He defines God like that since the beginning of his epistle. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 P 1:3)
Please notice that When the Bible refers to Jesus Christ as Creator, it uses prepositions like "through", because Jesus Christ represents the Word of God, and God used his Word (his Decree, his Wisdom, his Logos) as the means to create all things.
In the same way Jesus is represented as the "Lamb of God", Jesus is represented as the "Word of God"... but Jesus is neither a literal lamb nor a literal word.
Through Christ, God makes from us a new creation. That's why Paul and other apostles use the physical creation performed through Jesus Christ as a metaphor of the new creation that God performs in our lives spiritually. But as Jews, they knew well that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the Creator.
101G must disagree with this assessment.
#1. God never went "THROUGH" anyone creating anything. for Isaiah 44:24 states. "Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens
alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth
by myself;" if he was "ALONE" and "BY HIMSEL" this eliminates going through anyone. but the revelation is the word "THROUGH" according to the Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of American English the term "Through" means, ""by",
BY, prep.
1. Near; close; as, sit by me; that house stands by a river.
[L. pressus.]
2. Near, in motion; as, to move, go or pass by a church. But it seems, in other phrases,or with a verb in the past time, to signify past, gone beyond. "The procession is gone by;" "the hour is gone by;" "John went by." We now use past as an equivalent word. The procession is gone past. Gone by is in strictness tautology, as now used; but I apprehend by signifies primarily near.
3.
Through, or with, denoting the agent, means, instrument or cause; as, "a city is destroyed by fire;" "profit is made by commerce;" "to take by force." This use answers to that of the Latin per,
through, denoting a passing, acting, agency, or instrumentality.
so, with, denoting the agent, means, instrument or cause, he GOD, a single person, spoke all things into existent. by speaking he made all things. for the scriptures are TRUE, and CORRECT. "BY, BY, BY, HIMSELF, means THROUGH. please get a old English dictionary and get the correct understanding of "Through". thanks in Christ Jesus the Lord.
#2. this verse in Isaiah 44:24, also eliminates any trinity of three PERSON, for if he, he, he, the Lord was "ALONE", and "BY HIMSELF, then the other two so-called equal person of the trinity is no Omi-present........ for if they were then they would be present also. the bible is easy to understand if one just listens and be guided by.... the Holy Spirit.
