"As God's first and only direct creation, Jesus is a true god."
MrGordon,
You have a number of problems.
If "All things came into existence through him" then Jesus as the Word must have come into existence through himself before he existed.
"Jesus, the Word, was evidently the close associate ''at the Father’s side'' of God to whom God was speaking when he said" “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.” (Gen 1:26)
MrGordon,
That would mean you are created in the image of God and a "close associate".
What is this "close associate", that is not true God but only a true god?
