So God GRANTED His Son to have life in Himself but before His Son was in the bossom of the Father as One... Then how can you say now that there are 3 persons in one God?
I want to give you an example.... If I made a table, I used my hands primarily in making the table... Would you say my hands made that table alone? No... I as a whole I made that table.... An example I made is man because man was made in the image of God so it will be easy to understand to compare God and man....
The same with God.... God made all things thru His Word (Jesus)... You can not separate Them as you can not seprate my hands from my whole body...
So my question was. Who created all things. Based on your last statement you would say that God made all things thru Jesus. Now I agree with that statement. But you believe that Jesus is not God, so heres the problem.
In Isaiah 44:24 It reads, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens ALONE; that spreadeth abroad the earth BY MYSELF;
The God of the Old Testament does not agree with your doctrine. And if you believe that Jesus helped the Father when the Father has already stated He did this ALONE and BY HIMSELF, then you are making Him out to be a liar. Because the Father has already told us no one helped Him. As a Christian we believe that Jesus is God so we don't have a problem with Jesus helping the Father, because we believe they are one in the same. On the other hand, you have a big problem. Either the New Testament is not telling the truth, or the Old Testament is not telling the truth. Either way based on your doctrine, you are faced with a huge counterdiction.
So my question again to you. Do you agree with the Old Testament which states that God ALONE made all things by Himself ?
