It is claimed:
Genesis 1:1 (God is the Creator) – John 1:3-10 (Jesus is the Creator)
There is definitely nothing at all in John 1:3-10 that gives us reason to imagine, assume, add to, and read into what is stated there that Jesus is the “one God” who is the source of all. — 1 Corinthians 8:6.
In Genesis 1:1, we have only one who is being presented as being the Creator, and that is the ELOHIM of Genesis 1:2, who is the ELOHIM and Father of Jesus. (Micah 5:4; Ephesians 1:3) For our trinitarian neighbors, they should note that ELOHIM in the expression translated as “spirit of God” (Genesis 1:2) is referring to only one person, not to more than one person; there is no reason to think that ELOHIM in Genesis 1:1 is not the same unipersonal ELOHIM of Genesis 1:2. For our oneness neighbors, one should ponder if ELOHIM is the spirit that is being spoken of, or if the spirit belongs to ELOHIM. ELOHIM in Micah 5:4 certainly excludes Jesus. ELOHIM of Genesis 1:1,2 speaks to someone else who is not Himself in Genesis 1:26. John 1:1-10 shows who this was that ELOHIM was speaking, for it shows that Father, the only true God of John 17:1,3, created the world of mankind through His Logos. The “world” (kosmos, Strong’s #2889) that God made through the Logos is that spoken of in John 1:9,10,29; 3:17; 16:28; 17:5; Romans 1:20; 5:12,13; 1 Corinthians 1:21; 3:19; 2 Peter 1:4; 1 John 2:2, and many other places throughout the New Testament. It is not there speaking of the spirit sons of God, for those sons were already in existence at the beginning spoken of in Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1, as can be seen by Job 38:4-7.
Thus, in John 1:3,10, we do not find anywhere in these verses that Jesus is the Creator spoken of in Genesis 1:1, but we have the Logos presented as being the one though whom ELOHIM of Genesis 1:1 made the world [kosmos] of mankind, the world into which the Logos came, the same world [kosmos] that became corrupted through the sin of one man. (Romans 5:12-19; 8:20-22) The world being spoken in John 1:3,10 does not include the angels, for Job 38:4-6 lets us know that the angels were already in existence at the “beginning” of Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1.
Jehovah, the one person who is ELOHIM in Genesis 1:1,2; Psalm 45:7; Isaiah 61:1,2; and Micah 5:4, is the Creator who creates through, by means of, His firstborn creature. (Colossians 1:15) Jehovah is the source; Jesus is the instrument. — 1 Corinthians 8:6.
