The Hebrew Scriptures testify consistently that Yahweh created the heavens and the earth, by Himself. What does it mean for Paul to write late that Jesus was involved with some sort of creative process? Does this mean Jesus is in fact God? Does this mean that Jesus literally pre-existed? A survey and exegesis of Colossians 1.16. (This video is also available on Google Video http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5078832950735204329).

Commentary on 2 Corinthians 13.14
by John Schoenheit, Mark Graeser, and John Lynn [2 pages]
rated at 1 (out of 5 votes)
This closing verse of the epistle of 2 Corinthians is a doxology, and is typical of how Paul closes his epistles. Galatians, Philippians and both Thessalonian epistles close with “the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The close of Ephesians includes “love with faith from God.” There is no reason to conclude that a closing doxology would not incorporate three wonderful attributes: the love of God, the grace of Christ and the fellowship of the spirit.
