Hello
Colossians seems to be another comparison of Adam vs Jesus
Old creation can New creation
Old creation
Adam was the image of God
Adam was the firstborn
Adam was given authority to rule over the old creation
Adam disobeyed
-
New creation
The risen Jesus is the image of God
He is the firstborn from the dead
He is given all authority
Jesus obeyed
It’s talking about an authority structure
Thrones principalities powers
Not “trees birds and mountains”
The context is also the RISEN Jesus
Not Jesus before his exaltation
Jesus can’t be the firstborn from the dead before he died?
Also God can’t be the firstborn from the dead, God can’t die
--
Jesus is the Messiah
The Son of God
The Son of David
The Son of man
The man God has chosen to be his anointed king
The man God will judge the world through
The man God raised from the dead
Jesus will return and rule the nations with believers in the kingdom of God on the earth
Jesus has a God
There is no triune god in scripture
Jesus said the Father is the only true God!
John 17
3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

Acts 3
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Servant Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
14 But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you,
15 and killed the Prince of life; whom God raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
Why is it taking you so long to get to who Jesus is?
