\nIn the beginning God<\/span> created the heavens and the earth.
\nGenesis 1:1<\/strong>\u00a0 NASB<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI, the Lord, am the maker of all things,
\nStretching out the heavens by Myself
\nAnd spreading out the earth all alone,
\nIsaiah 44:24<\/strong>\u00a0 NASB<\/p>\n
\n6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
\n7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
\n8 He was not the Light, but he came<\/em> to testify about the Light.
\n9 There was the true Light<\/span> [Jesus<\/span>, pres. auth.] which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
\n10 He<\/span> was in the world, and the world was made through Him<\/span>, and the world did not know Him.
\nJohn 1:6-10<\/strong>\u00a0 NASB<\/p>\n
\n16\u00a0For by Him<\/span> all things were created, both<\/em> in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities\u2014all things have been created through Him<\/span> and for Him.
\n17\u00a0He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
\nColossians 1:15-17<\/strong>\u00a0 NASB<\/p>\n
\n\u2026 yet for us there is but<\/em> one God, the Father<\/span>, from whom all things come and we exist<\/em> for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ<\/span>, by whom<\/span> all things are made, and we exist<\/em> through Him.
\n1 Corinthians 8:6<\/strong>\u00a0 NASB<\/p>\n
\nIf there is water in a glass and water outside that glass, is that a Contradiction? Of course not. It is only perceived as a Contradiction by those who cannot imagine it. Likewise, if God created heaven and earth, is it a Contradiction that Jesus being Lord and God, took his part in creation? Of course not.<\/p>\n
\nThe Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) begins with the information that God created heaven and earth<\/em>.
\nIt is fitting that the apostle John begins his Gospel with more information about that wonderful occurrence, as follows:<\/p>\n
\n2 He [Jesus<\/span>, pres. auth.] was in the beginning with God.
\n3 All things came into being through Him [Jesus<\/span>, pres. auth.], and apart from Him<\/span> nothing came into being that has come into being.
\nJohn 1:1-3<\/strong>\u00a0 NASB<\/p>\n
\nAll information about \u201cJesus in Creation\u201d in the New Testament arises from this statement of John, who begins speaking about the WORD and later on remarks that the Word was Jesus <\/em>(John 1:14): \u201cAnd the Word became flesh,\u201d that is: Jesus<\/span>.
\n(For the insight that the Gospels were the first written<\/em> documents of the Christians, see Jesus Stenographers<\/a>, p. 133 \u2013 142.)<\/p>\n
\nGod the Father had his part in Creation. It was His Will<\/em> that creation occurred. In the spiritual world with his Son and the Spirit, He spoke to Them to fulfil this Will.
\nGod the Son, being the Word<\/em>, spoke and heaven and earth came into being.
\nGod the Spirit was above the waters (Genesis 1:2), order above chaos, being the Vehicle for the Word<\/em>. He brought the Word where it should come to create (and He still does).
\nThey, the Father, the Son and the Spirit were and are altogether united, being God.<\/p>\n
