John 1:3 and John 1:10
state that the world and all things were made through the Word
Col 1:16, Heb 1:2 and 1Cor 8:6
state that it was through Jesus that everything was created
Your wife was right all along
Well lets just SEE shall "we" and while at it, Lets SEE which one of us wants THE TRUTH?
Jesus is the Word (LIES and the through, YOU NEED to understand) and through him and for him and in him were all things visible and invisible created
The Greek word DIA, from which through and the "By" word come from with regards to verses that give a "hint" of Jesus's involvement in creation;
DIA = on account of, by reason of, for the sake of, because of, through.
Do YOU SEE the CLEAR and "OBVIOUS" meaning and "INTENTION" of the "through" word here and HOW it is to be understood, defined?
So let "US" as a team with the same goals in mind, LET the Bible, "THE" Spirit of Truth, our Almighty God and Father with the Help of Jesus through the ONE Holy Spirit, The Almighty God and Fathers, show "US" their Truth as they are BOTH Truth.
John 1:3 and John 1:10
state that the world and all things were made through the Word = YES how Very True, BUT not like you imagine.
Psa 33:6 - By the Word of the LORD (Almighty God and Father) the heavens were made and all the host of them by the breath of HIS (Singular) mouth. (Breath as shown in the Bible = Spirit and "we" know there is but ONE Spirit = The Holy).
Neh 9:6 - Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
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.
God = Singular as in ONE Apple.
Gen 1:27 - So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Matt 19:14 - Jesus said = And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
"OURS & US" = Ex 7:1 = And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god (ELOHIM) to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
Elohim = Plural, more than one = HOW MANY Moses do YOU know of = ONE as "IN" One Apple.
The Almighty God and Father "IS" Spirit, WORD as in "The" Word and Light as in "The" True light John 1:9 = plural is just those 3 aspects as there are Many aspects to him as with Moses = "WE" have Zero Grounds, NIL to assume, place Jesus IN the Gen Creation account.
To do so IS to ADD to God's Word and YOU can count ME out of THAT, not HAPPENING.
WHY on earth would MAN just change the True meaning of Elohim, to make it fit his wants and NOT of God, that is why and what the Bible says, man will DO.
John 1:1 In the Beginning WAS "THE" WORD;
THE = denoting one or more people or things already mentioned or assumed to be common knowledge
Gen - And "GOD" SAID around 10 times in the creation account and at Gen 1:20 we see this SAID term, WORDS of God to be THE WORD OF LIFE.
The Word of Life = the word at that moment literally brings things, creation to life in the here and now.
However, there is more to it as in the following;
Titus 1:2 - In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (inner word, plan, glory).
Eph 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.
So there are two aspects to the Word of Life, 1 as in instantly God spoke and there was life and 2, there is the future aspect, Eternal life which "really" comes into play and the KEY topic in John from verse 1:3, the Key purpose and message of the Book of John.
The Words of Eternal life coming into the world, like never before and after Jesus left and because of his and the God and Fathers plan, was going to remain in the world and KEPT by the aid of the Spirit of Truth, Comforter = The God and Fathers Holy Spirit as he IS This Spirit and Jesus through this ONE Spirit will come to us as well, lead and guide US, so we get truth and are able to keep it "WITHOUT" the aid of man and mans Traditions.
But hey, lets let Jesus's own words tell the story here as I trust Him way, way more than any said Trinity expert that finishes off his long assay with The Disclaimer --> Well,..no one can explain the Trinity as God is a mystery and they say this despite John 17:3 showing "US" that that is NOT so and a VERY Dangerous and false position to take as that language according to "Jesus" in John 17:3 CANNOT be accepted.
John 12:29 - For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
John 4:34 - Jesus saith unto them, My meat -->(The Word of God) is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
John 6:68 - Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
1 Peter 1:23 - Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Jesus speaking HIS God and fathers words SAYS, they are Spirit and Life and he also says, YOU are born again by water AND Spirit.
YOU are only "EVER" born again by ONE way = born of Spirit and born of The Word of God = "THE" WORD = Spirit and Word are ONE in the SAME = From The Almighty God and Father as there is but ONE Spirit = There IS But one WORD - "The" Word = all of, the inner and outer words of The Almighty God and Father = The Word of God.
Eph 4:4 - There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
--------------------
Col 1:16 as per Greek Truth - Because "IN" him were created the things all things, in the heavens, and upon the earth; the visible, and the invisible; whether thrones, or Lordships, or rulers, or authorities: the things all things on account of, by reason of, for the sake of, because of, through.
So Tonio just from the snippet above and there are numerous verses, God and God ALONE created for the reasons above in Col.
Heb 1:2 - (Greek TRUTH) In the last days (After Baptism "ONLY") the these, spoke to us "IN" his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, on account of, by reason of, for the sake of, because of, through whom he (Almighty God & Father) made the worlds.
"IN" John 14:10 - Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Luke 4:18 - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the Good News to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
1Cor 8:6 - (Greek Truth again) - Yet to us ONE GOD, the Father, of whom the things all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ -->(anointed), on account of, by reason of, for the sake of, because of, through whom the things all things, and we on account of, by reason of, for the sake of, because of, through him.
Col 1:15 - (Greek Truth) - Who is the image of God, the invisible, the fristborn of all creation.
Rel 13:8 - And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (To fulfill the Titus 1:2).
Rev 3:14 - And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, (Jesus) the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;-->(In the mind and plans of God, His "inner" Creation was = Jesus in the "Future" context for, on account of, by reason of, for the sake of, because of, through
Your wife was right Wrong all along.
Rev 14:1 - Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Sion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
His name = The Word "of" God.
Name of his Father = "WORD" as in "The" WORD = all of, inner and outer as in Expressed = The Word of God = GLORY.
Almighty God and Father = "THE" Aleph Tav -"THE" Alpha Omega = WORD, the Beginning and the Ending, which IS, which WAS and which IS to come, The Almighty and He will be ALL in ALL.
"WE" are all Alpha Omega's = WORDS but NOT "THE" Alpha Omega, just as Jesus is NOT.
He was the Carrier of The Almighty God and Fathers words of life eternal which is what Jesus exalted name means and represents - The Word "of" God. (Not cannot be the thing you are OF).
Hence WHY Rev 19:12-13 says, no one knows his Name.
Rev 14:3 - And they sung as it (original) were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song.
Mark 4:12 - That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
Rev 2:17 - He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, (Words, understanding) and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Rev 14:6-7 - And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the Good News to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, (been around for years but the meaning IS, clear and new understanding of many hidden things given and Has Been Delivered, Done).
7. Saying with a loud voice, (thunder) 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.
So please "explain" Tonio, the Word was in the Gen created, created but Heb tells us, only in these last day has God spoken through Jesus and HOW on earth do your imaginations tell you, Jesus spoke creation into being and this word in John 1:1 is the very SAME word = Wake up and turn on the lights!
