Indeed..........Jesus has a Father, as the Son of God.....JESUS was given all authority in heaven and earth by the Father, (Matthew 28:18-20) With that authority Jesus commissioned His disciples to spread the Gospel to all the known world "........Therefore Go (aposltes of Jesus) and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY GHOST." Its clear........the Godhead consists of 3 family members that make up one Authority, all with the same mission, all of the same mind.
Jesus is God the same way you are your fathers son/daughter..........Jesus' Father is God, therefore Jesus can be nothing other than God Himself.
If Jesus was just an ordinary man, even though living a perfect sin free life, His death could never benefit the entirety of mankind. Some false doctrines teach that Jesus was nothing more than a man..falsely teaching that Jesus was the first Creation of God. John 1:1 clearly declares with no ambiguity whatsoever that Jesus was in the beginning, having already existed before the beginning. Logically, since Jesus has existed from the beginning.....in the beginning, Jesus already was. He Himself could not have been a product of creation since, "ALL THINGS WERE MADE THROUGH HIM AND WITHOUT HIM NOTHING WAS MADE (created)." -- John 1:3 What? Did Jesus CREATE HIMSELF?
No......God created Jesus.......the Son of Man (Adam) not Jesus.......the Son of God, as Jesus the Son of God has existed from the beginning. Jesus became God in the flesh when the Father gave Him all authority in heaven and on earth. Jesus had to be born as a Man in order to fulfill the plans of God that have existed from the beginning, that all of mankind would be offered salvation through His Son Christ Jesus. Before the foundation of the world this plan of God existed (1 Peter 1:20)...or a Paul stated, "Before the beginning of time itself........" -- 2 Tim. 1:9
This plan was a mystery.........hidden from mankind until God decided the time had come for the incarnation of the Son. Hidden even from the prophets who fortold of the plan (Eph. 3:5,6, 1 Peter 1:10-12) Today that mystery has been revealed. (Col. 1:26) Some who refuse to accept the truth that Jesus delivered......can't see the forest for the trees. "......EVERYONE THAT IS OF THAT TRUTH HEARS MY VOICE." Jesus came to bear witness of truth from Heaven (John 18:37)
The Apostle Paul........the same person you are quoting explains in detail, "For by Him (Jesus) all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities.....ALL THINGS WERE CREATED THROUGH HIM AND FOR HIM. AND HE IS BEFORE ALL THINGS, AND IN HIM ALL THINGS HOLD TOGETHER." -- 1 Cor. 16:17. What? Did Paul contradict Himself by your lack of logic? Jesus was responsible for all things that were ever created.
Are you suggesting that Jesus did not exist before His physical birth on earth? Jesus declares His own PRE-INCARNATION, "........Before Abraham was I AM". -- John 8:58. The Same I AM that God indentified Himself to Moses when Moses asked His name (Exdous 3:14)
Jesus declared Himself equal to the Father. (Phil. 2:6)
What happens to Jesus' Kingdom after the final judgment? The Kingdom is returned to the Father (1 Cor. 15:24)
Clearly Paul does not agree with your false doctrine because Paul stated the obvious. Jesus has a Father in Heaven.
Logic. In the beginning God declared, "let there be light". (Genesis 1:3). God did not say that He created light.....He simply declared, "LET THERE BE LIGHT........" Yet, the Son and Moon were not created until the 4th day. What or WHO was that LIGHT? "Then Jesus spake again, "I AM the light of the world........." (John 8:12)
Without this light guiding your path to all righteousness...........you will become lost, for there is only one path that leads to the Father. "I am way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh to the Father but by Me." -- John 14:6
