Is Jesus the Creator?
Let’s look at the weight of evidence
NOTE: This webpage is not exactly what the Adventist Pioneers believed or taught. They believed Jesus was a co-creator. Why? Because they took the Bible as it reads which is perfectly fine for their time and place. Many translators over the years have been Trinitarian and with that said, they have done a work with a Trinitarian mindset and have massaged a few Scriptures in their favor. What they didn't have was the tool of the internet, which gives us easier access to multiple Bible translations, word searches, searching texts and Scripture much faster on a topic. If we search hard enough, we even have access to the Septuagint, the Greek and Hebrew. The problem with the Protestant movement is, is that they stopped reforming!
Ephesians 3:9 - And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Hebrews 1:2 - Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Colossians 1:16 - For 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:
The above three Scriptures are utilized to hold onto the thought or belief that Jesus is the Creator, or perhaps a co-creator. But wait a minute. There are three creations, so which one? There is the creation of the angels before the worlds were made. There is the Genesis creation of Heaven and earth. And then there is the New Creation that is in the “world to come.” This will be the Kingdom of God. God is forming this right now through His Son. We will take a look at each of those Scriptures a little more closely.
If you misconstrue the Scriptures further, they will use:
John 1:3 - All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (this actually is about the Father in these opening verses of John 1)
John 1:10 - He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. (this actually is about the Father in these opening verses of John 1)
1 Corinthians 8:6 - But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. (this is not implying the Genesis creation).
The beginning of the name Jesus:
Matthew 1:21 - And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Matthew 2:1 - Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Chronologically, we have a timeline of the name of Jesus beginning around 4 or 5 BC, not before or when the Heavens and earth were created (the Gensis creation). I am not suggesting that the pre-existence Christ did not exist under another name or identity. But under the name Jesus, we have a record. Therefore, to place Jesus as the Creator, we need to look at the weight of evidence given and what Jesus himself and others directly had to say of the record that knew him.

Ephesians 3:9 – Who Created all Things?
This verse is problematic when you go before the King James and beyond it. Twenty-two out of thirty versions plus the Greek says that God (as in THE FATHER) created all things. No one else! Four out of eight versions say that took place “through” or “by” Jesus Christ in King James varieties. The other four are possibly derivatives of the KJV’s influence on this. Perhaps they intended to point us to Christ in the New Creation, in the world to come? But in this verse, it still wasn’t in the Greek. This is meant to be thought provoking. Where is the weight of evidence in what you believe? We will start off with looking at what the original Greek translation was.

Christ in the Ages to Come
Most people have been taught that the Almighty God created Genesis through His Son. If this is what you have believed, you might struggle with cognitive dissonance when you read this subject. And it gets even worse when you try and force fit a trinity doctrine through that making God’s own Spirit that spoke out creation, into another being, another person, or even spirit. But this is just. not true. The Almighty God created Genesis all by Himself.
Because people are being taught that God created Genesis through Jesus, they are missing the many verses that talk about God’s new creation which is the world to come. Because of this, they are misinterpreting verses about God creating through His Son. For example, Hebrews 1:1-2.
Hebrews 1:1-2 - God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, v2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
This verse doesn’t say that God spoke through His only begotten Son in the past. God spoke through his prophets. It isn’t until these last days that he is speaking through His Son.
This text makes a lot of sense until you arrive at the last part that is underlined. How did Jesus make the Gensis creation when it states in Genesis 1 and 2 that “God said” and "God called” out creation through His breath of his mouth? God definitely spoke to us by His Son when he came here to earth. He definitely has been appointed heir of all things, “Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” (Heb. 1:4). But when it comes to the weight of evidence, it does not add up to the latter part of the verse.
The world that God created is the “world to come” also referred to as the New Creation. Not the corrupt and dying world we are now living in. It is the world to come that God is referring to.
Hebrews 2:5 - For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
God did not choose angels to be the rulers of the world to come. This is the New Creation, not the Genesis creation. This is what God has promised to his people for thousands of years.
2 Peter 3:13 - Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Since most translators were Trinitarian and think Jesus was the one who made the original Genesis creation of the heavens and earth, they translate “ages” as “world,” or even “universe.” In Hebrews 1:2, the Greek word aion (Strong’s #165) is not a word which refers to Genesis. It refers to an "age," a cycle of time, one of a series of ages stretching to infinity, the reality of life which exists under the administration of Christ who sat down at the right hand of God which is what the writer is discussing. Angels, rulers, authorities, powers, thrones, and dominions are the authority structure of this ruling administration. The reason the writer uses this Greek word here is because he is about to discuss the authority of the risen Jesus in contrast to the angels who have now been subjected to him (Hebrews 1:4; 1 Peter 3:22).
Hebrews 1:2 refers to how God makes the aions through the risen Christ. Daniel prophesied that the son of man would be given a Kingdom and he will reign to aions of the aions (Daniel 7:13-18). In Ephesians 1:21-23, we are told that God raised Jesus far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every named that is named, not only in this aion but in the aion to come (see Matt 12:32; Mark 10:30; Luke 18:30). In this way, the purpose of the aions are made known to these powers in the heavenlies (Ephesians 3:10-11). And we are also informed that God raised us up to be seated in the heavenlies with Christ so that in the aions to come we might know the riches of God's grace (Ephesians 2:7). And so for that reason, Paul gives God glory in the church in Jesus Christ unto the aions of the aions (Ephesians 3:21; see 2 Tim 4:10; Heb 13:21; 1 Peter 4:11; 1 Peter 5:11; 2 Peter 3:18; Rev 5:13; 11:15).
The Bible tells us that God will reign through Christ to the aions of the aions. So when we are told that God made the aions through the Son, this is what the Hebrew's writer has in mind. God placed all things under the Son's feet when he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on High and headed up all things in the risen Son. In this way, God established the aions of the aions through him because all things in the aions to come are headed up in Christ (Ephesians 1:9-10).
Ephesians 1:9-10 - Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: v10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
1 Peter 3:22 - Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
Daniel 7:13-14 - I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. v14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Ephesians 1:21-23 - Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: v22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, v23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Matthew 12:32 - And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Mark 10:30 - But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
Luke 18:30 - Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
Ephesians 3:10-11 - To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, v11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Ephesians 2:7 - That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 3:21 - Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
1 Peter 4:11 - If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 5:11 – To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
2 Peter 3:18 - But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Revelation 5:13 - And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Revelation 11:15 - And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
The Kingdom of God is the New Creation, the world to come.
The life and teachings of Jesus set the example of what Kingdom people should look like. And he even taught us to pray that the Kingdom would come which is when God’s will is being done on earth as it is in Heaven. Pay very close attention because any time the New Creation is being referred to, it’s always about changes being made in Heaven and on earth. The Genesis creation is always referred to as creating “the” Heaven and “the” earth. Jesus’ prayer is all about the coming New Creation, the Kingdom of God.
Matthew 6:9-13 - After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. v10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. v11 Give us this day our daily bread. v12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. v13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Did you hear the Kingdom language? The new creation is about the Almighty God working through His only begotten Son of God to change things in the old Heaven and on the old earth. The “worlds” (aión) is about making the Genesis creation brand new.
Isaiah 65:17 - For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
It’s the New Creation that the Almighty God is using His eternal Spirit to create through His only begotten Son. The New Creation is a restoration of the old things and a new order in Heaven and on earth.
Matthew 28:18 - And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
It is through Jesus’ resurrection that God is able to make a New Creation. The resurrection of Jesus is the beginning of the world to come, the New Creation. The final stage of this New Creation is when the saints that are part of the first resurrection receive new immortal bodies.
Colossians 1:16 - For 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:
And this is how we can make more sense of what is stated in:
1 Corinthians 8:6 — But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
It is by Christ whom are all things of the world to come, the New Creation. In the New Creation all things will be new. There will be no more death, or pain or sorrow. Nothing that was brought into God’s Genesis creation will be part of his new creation.

Who is the Creator of Heaven and the Earth?
Let’s start out with a particular key themed text from Revelation 14:7, just to set the tone here.
Revelation 14:7 - Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Does it say to give glory to “him” or does it say “them?”
Does it say the hour of “their” judgment is come? No, it says “his”.
Does this say worship “him” or does it say “them?”
The point here is that these are ALL SINGULAR terms, no plurality. If God is three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit as the trinity doctrine subscribes, then how can you believe the first angel’s message of Revelation 14?
Because it would be more like: “Fear God, and give glory to THEM; for the hour of THEIR judgment is come: and worship THEM that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”
But that is NOT what the Scripture says in Revelation 14. Instead we will see the clear reference to God being one single being in the action of Creation and who is identified as the Creator. This is not two, three or more.
Genesis 1:1 – In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 14:19 - And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
Genesis 14:22 - And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
Exodus 20:11 - For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Exodus 31:17 - It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
2 Kings 19:15 - And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
2 Chronicles 2:12 - Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
Ezra 5:11 - And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and set up.
Psalm 115:15 - Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:2 - My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
Psalm 124:8 - Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 134:3 -The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.
Psalm 146:5-6 – v5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: v6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
Isaiah 37:16 - O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
Isaiah 44:24-25 - Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself.
Isaiah 45:18 - For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Jonah 1:9 - And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
And here Jesus confirms to us who is the Lord or heaven and earth in these next two Scriptures. It is His Father, God the Father.
Matthew 11:25 - At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Luke 10:21 - In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Jesus also confirms that it was the Almighty that created Adam and Eve, not himself.
Mark 10:5-6 - And Jesus answered and said unto them,…. v6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
Acts 4:24 - And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
Acts 14:15 - And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
Acts 17:24 - God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Revelation 4:11 - Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

The Action of Creation
Scriptures that points us to God, as in the Father, as the Creator
Genesis 1:1 – In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Here in the first book of Genesis, we see thirteen texts covering the action of creation, ordering things to exist or be in place with the words, “God said,” or “God called.” Both of these words deal with the mouth, or verbalization of the action. A few additional texts involving creation are also included here, which extend into chapter 2 of Genesis. At this point, I would hope we would realize who God is in this and to know He is a single being. Not divisible by three, or three persons, or any combo of 1 in 3 or 3 in 1 or even 2 in regards to Creation. The beginning of this chapter is a little bit of a repeat in the opening of the chapter, “Is Jesus Created or Begotten.” But it needs repeating because it is part of the context of this topic of the “Action of Creation.”
Strong’s Concordance tells us the Hebrew word and the Greek word translated as spirit in the Bible have the same meaning. The Hebrew word רוּח† ‘ruach’ means breath (also “wind”) which is the same word translated as spirit in Genesis 1:2. The Greek word ‘pneuma’ means, wind, breath, spirit. In other words, if wind and breath are the same idea, then spirit must also fit the pattern.
The word spirit must have something to do with breath and wind. Breath and wind is something living things do. Breath is not a living being. Wind is not a living being. If spirit is another word for breath and wind, then it also is not a living being. All three words have to do with life. A breathing being has a personality. And a personality can also be defined as characteristics of that breathing being. The personality of a living being is its spirit. The personality of God is His Holy Spirit. And in Genesis 1:2, the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Genesis 1:2 - And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Something vital to note here. It says the Spirit of God. We are talking about something in possessive language or terminology. It does not say, god the holy spirit. It is the Spirit of God which already belongs to Him (YAHWEH, the Father). The false teaching and doctrine that brings in a "god the holy spirit" is what is being taught in the churches today. It creates a third being that does not exist separate from God the Father and Christ.
Was that the breath of God that moved upon the face of the waters? Well, since he used his breath in speaking out creation, yes. The Spirit of God in this verse is the very breath of God.
Genesis 1:3 - And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Genesis 1:5 - And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Genesis 1:6 - And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Genesis 1:8 - And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Genesis 1:9 - And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Genesis 1:10 – And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:11 - And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Genesis 1:14 - And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Genesis 1:20 - And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Genesis 1:21 - And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:24 - And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:28 - And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:29 - And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
And the creation account of Genesis 1 is confirmed with:
Psalms 33:6 - By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
Now we find recorded in Genesis 2: v1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. v2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. v3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Genesis 2:7 - And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:8-9 - And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. v9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:19 - And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
Genesis 2:21-22 - And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; v22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
What is missing from these texts? A co-creator of two or three.
