Jesus was part of God’s creation

#Jesus_was_part-of_God’s_creation

Colossians 1:15 calls Jesus “the #firstborn of all creation.” Scholars disagree on what this phrase means, but that is primarily because the doctrine of the Trinity obscures its simple meaning. Trinitarian doctrine states that Jesus is “eternal,” but if that is true then he cannot be the firstborn “of all creation,” because that would make him part of the creation—Jesus would be a created being. But the simple reading of Colossians 1:15 seems clear: Jesus is a created being. The BDAG Greek-English lexicon [entry under “creation”] explains the Greek word translated “creation” as “that which is created…of individual things or beings created, creature.” Not only was Jesus a #created being, he is also called the “#firstborn” from the dead because he was the first one in God’s creation who was raised from the dead to everlasting life—a point that is also made in #Colossians 1:18 and #Revelation 1:5.

#Jesus_was_like_Adam
Adam, the first man, was fully human and by his sin brought sin into the world. Jesus is called the “last Adam” (1 Cor. 15:45), but it seems that designation would not be appropriate if Jesus was not fully human in the same way that Adam was. Also, Adam is called a “type” of Jesus (Rom. 5:14). The word translated as “type” in many English versions is the translation of the Greek word #Tupos (5179 ?????), which can be defined as “a type, pattern, model, or example of something else.” Although the KJV translates #Tupos as “figure,” most of the more modern versions say “pattern” (NIV), “prototype” (HCSB), or “type” (ESV, NAB, NASB). Adam was a type, prototype, or pattern of Jesus because he was fully human and began without a sin nature—and Jesus was the same: fully human and made without a sin nature. The reason that no other human male after Adam could be a “type” of Jesus.But if Jesus was 100% man and 100% God, then Adam could not be a “type” of Jesus, because Adam did not have a “God-nature.”

#God is eternal, but Jesus had a beginning
God was not born; He is eternal. In contrast to the eternal God, Christ is “begotten,” that is, born. Jesus Christ had a beginning. Jesus is never called “God the Son” in the Bible, but he is called the “Son of God” more than 50 times, and a “son” has a beginning. The very fact that Jesus is the “Son of God” shows he had a beginning. Trinitarian doctrine denies this, and #invents the phrase “eternally begotten.” But “eternally begotten” is #not in the Bible, it was invented to help explain the Trinity but is actually a nonsensical phrase; the words are placed together but they cancel each other out. “Eternal” means without beginning or end, whereas something that is “begotten,” by definition, has a beginning.

We cannot approach the Bible with wisdom and “reason together” with God (#Isaiah 1:18), if we must invent and use non-biblical phrases to support our theology. Also, additional evidence that Jesus had a beginning is provided in verses such as #Matthew 1:18, which speaks of the “beginning” of Jesus Christ, and #Colossians 1:15, which says that Jesus is #part of God’s creation. The Bible calls Jesus the “Son” of God for the simple reason that he #had a beginning. Jesus had been part of God’s plan since the foundation of the world, but he began his actual life when God “fathered” him and Mary conceived him in her womb.

Since Jesus is created according to this verse. Therefore Jesus can't be God because Bible tells us anything that created cannot be God!

Exodus 20:4 - Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:

#Please_note : graven image means that anything that created:
Paul, believed to be the author of some thirteen or fourteen letters in the Bible, also believed that Jesus is not God.  For Paul, God first created Jesus, then used Jesus as the agent by which to create the rest of creation

, [27.10.20 22:21]
(see Colossians 1:15 and 1 Corinthians 8:6).  Similar ideas are found in the letter to the Hebrews, and also in the Gospel and Letters of John composed some seventy years after Jesus.  In all of these writings, however, Jesus is still a creature of God and is therefore forever subservient to God (see 1 Corinthians 15:28).

#Romans 1:21-23
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as #God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal
human being (#Jesus) and birds(#Dove) and animals( #Lamb) and reptiles.
