Through Whom He Made the World: An Examination of Hebrews 1:1-2

Post-biblical orthodoxy has long held that Jesus created the world.  Passages such as Genesis 1:26, John 1:1-3 and Colossians 1:15-18, when viewed through a Nicene lens, appear to some to support this interpretation.  Another passage that is often referenced is found in Hebrews: Hebrews 1:1-2 (NASB) God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2  in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through…

All the Fullness of Deity Dwells in Christ

An Examination of Colossians 1:19 and 2:9 When Paul wrote to the church in Colossae about Jesus' supremacy, he said: Colossians 1:19 (NASB) For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him [Jesus] (emphasis added) Colossians 2:9 (NASB) For in Him [Jesus] all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form (emphasis added) What does it mean that Jesus is full of deity?  Trinitarians interpret theses verses to mean that Jesus is God.  However, when we recall Paul's Christology…
