    Jesus must have existed for everything to have been created in him at the beginning
    ------------
    Tonio, here is the role Jesus played in creation according to the Catholic Jerusalem Bible.
    Proverbs 8 :
    22 'Yahweh created me, first-fruits of his fashioning, before the oldest of his works.
    mce-anchor23 From everlasting, I was firmly set, from the beginning, before the earth came into being.
    30 I was beside the master craftsman, delighting him day after day, ever at play in his presence,

    I don't know why this is missing in the KJV. However as you point out the NT makes it clear that after "Yahweh created me (Jesus)" , "all (other)things have been created through him, and unto him;" - Col 1:16.

    It does not credit Jesus with being the Creator, but makes clear that God's Son existed "from the beginning, before the earth came into being".
