Jesus, Creation or Creator?

John 1
1)IN THE BEGINNING was the Word, and the WORD WAS WITH GOD, and THE WORD WAS GOD.

Comment:
Jesus is from the beginning known as THE WORD. He was with God, and the Scripture plainly tells us that Jesus, THE WORD, IS GOD.

John 1:
14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Matthew 1:
21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Comment:
This verse tells us THE WORD took on human flesh. He was begotten of the Father by the Holy Spirit, and of the virgin Mary. That is why you don’t find the name Jesus in the Old Testament. He was first called Jesus when he was born on earth.

Genesis 1:
In the beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth.
John:
2The same was in the beginning with God.
3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Genesis
26And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after our likeness: …
Colossians 1:
16For 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:

1 John 5:
7For there are THREE that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and THESE THREE ARE ONE.

Matthew 28:
19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Comment:
Notice in Genesis 1:1 God said, LET US signifying the Father, the Spirit and the Word (Jesus). 1 John 5:7 depicts the Trinity. Although the word Trinity is not found in Scripture, the precept of a triune God is., namely, the Father, the Word (or the Son), and the Holy Ghost. Also notice in Matthew 28:19, the NAME of the triune God is SINGULAR.

Comment:
Jesus is Creator God and not a creation. He has always existed as God Himself. God is depicted as the Father, the Word (or Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. These three persons are one God. God (as a trinity) created heaven, earth, and all things visible and invisible. He created us in His image!

Isaiah 9:
6For 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.
Comment: Thus, Jesus is from EVERLASTING! AND HE IS THE MIGHTY GOD.

John 14:
9Jesus 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, Show us the Father?

Philippians 2:
6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery TO BE EQUAL with God:
7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the FORM of a servant, and was made in the LIKENESS OF MEN:
8And being found in FASHION AS A MAN, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
In the Old Testament, the term, “THE SON OF GOD” is never mentioned, EXCEPT IN PROPHESY. THIS PROPHESY WAS FULFILLED when Jesus was BORN ON EARTH, THE SON OF GOD AND THE SON OF MAN. Jesus refers to himself a lot as the Son of man.

Matthew 1:
23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US.

Hebrews 1:
8But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O GOD, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Revelation 1:
8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, THE ALMIGHTY.

Mark 2
6But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? WHO CAN FORGIVE SINS BUT GOD ONLY?
10But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, …

"I and the Father ARE ONE " (John 10:30).

Jesus Christ is the SAME yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)

In these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS, THROUGH WHOM also He made the world. (Hebrews 1:2)

Comment: In view of the preceding many Scriptures it is plain that:
+ God is a Trinity,
+ Jesus is the BEGOTTEN Son of God, not made, but begotten on earth.(the Son of man), Jesus existed from the beginning with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
+ the Trinity created the world, the universe and all things visible and invisible,
+ Jesus is to be worshiped and honored as the Father is worshiped and honor because Jesus is God.
