Trinitarians: Does this verse mean Jesus is a "created" being?

Question

Colossians 1:13
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

Answer 1

No. It means that Jesus Christ is the only "person" of God that you are ever going to see.

Answer 2

First of all, you quote the wrong scripture, col. 1:13 does not say the above, it is Colossians 1:15  "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature"

Jehovah’s use of his creative power teaches us about his sovereignty. The very word “Creator” separates Jehovah from everything else in the universe, all of which is “creation.” Even Jehovah’s only-begotten Son, who served as “a master worker” during creation, is never called Creator or co-Creator in the Bible. (Proverbs 8:30; Matthew 19:4) Rather, he is “the firstborn of all creation.” (Colossians 1:15) Jehovah’s position as the Creator gives him the intrinsic right to wield exclusive sovereign power over all the universe.

In what sense is Jesus Christ “the first-born of all creation”? (1) Trinitarians say that “first-born” here means prime, most excellent, most distinguished; thus Christ would be understood to be, not part of creation, but the most distinguished in relation to those who were created. If that is so, and if the Trinity doctrine is true, why are the Father and the holy spirit not also said to be the firstborn of all creation? But the Bible applies this expression only to the Son.

Before Colossians 1:15, the expression “the firstborn of” occurs upwards of 30 times in the Bible, and in each instance that it is applied to living creatures the same meaning applies, the firstborn is part of the group. “The firstborn of Israel” is one of the sons of Israel; “the firstborn of Pharaoh” is one of Pharaoh’s family; “the firstborn of beast” are themselves animals. What, then, causes some to ascribe a different meaning to it at Colossians 1:15? Is it Bible usage or is it a belief to which they already hold and for which they seek proof?

Jesus could not possibly be God himself, for Jesus was created by God. Note how Benjamin Wilson’s Emphatic Diaglott renders Apocalypse (Revelation) chapter 3, verse 14: “These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness (Jesus), the beginning of the creation of God.”

he is called the “firstborn,” the “only-begotten.” When a child is the firstborn, the only-begotten, it never means that the child is the same as the father. It always means that there are two different personalities involved, father and child.

Answer 3

Col 1:15 JW's cite this verse as "proof" that Jesus Christ is not God, but rather the first angel that God created. However, does the word first-born in the Bible necessarily mean the first one who was born or created? Not at all! The term is often used in Scripture to signify priority in importance or rank, rather than actual birth order. Psalm 89:27 speaks about King David, who was the youngest, or last-born son of Jesse - as far away as he could be from being literally first-born. But note what God says about him in the Psalm "Also, I myself shall place him as firstborn..." Clearly, God did not reverse the order of David's birth; he was not speaking about birth order. What the psalm meant was that King David would be elevated in rank, above the others, to the preeminent position. Now, to demonstrate that the term is used in this sense when speaking about Christ at Collossians 1:15, look at verse 18, which identifies Christ as "the head" and "the first-born" and says that this is for the purpose "that in everything he might be pre-eminent" In chapter 2, verse 9; "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form". See also Isaiah 9:6; Daniel 10:13, 21; 12:1; John 20:28; Revelation 1:7-8.

Answer 4

Yes and the trinity is a false religion taught in religions that are false and not following the bible.
Proverbs 8:22 Talks about Jesus as the first spirit creature that God ever made. By means of them everything else in the universe was made.

Answer 5

oh and that is Colossians 1:15
the Christ was born just as said
God is a Spirit

1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

So God came to earth Himself in the body of the Christ

Answer 6

Does Jesus (God the Son) mean he was a 'created' being, by God the Father? In a sense Yes. Does that mean he is not part of the 'Trinity'; NO.

Answer 7

No. In fact if you read the beginning of Mathew you will See that Jesus was in the beginning with God, and He is God. Also that all things were created by Him.

Answer 8

And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"
He answered and said to them, "Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

Answer 9

When you look in a mirror, do you create the image that forms there? Or is it simply THERE?
