Is Jesus or God the creator of all things?

God created all alone (Isaiah 44:24) - "Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, "I, the Lord, am the maker of all things, stretching out the heavens by Myself, and spreading out the earth all alone."
All things created by/through Jesus (Colossians 1:16-17) - "For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created by Him and for Him. 17And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together."
There is no difficulty here at all when we realize that the Trinity is involved. The Trinity is the doctrine that God is three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Son is the Word, which was God and with God (John 1:1), that became flesh in Jesus (John 1:14). Since Jesus is the second person of the Trinity, and He has two natures, divine and human (Col. 2:9), we can then have Jesus being the creator and God being the creator alone. In other words, Jesus is God and God created all things alone.

Did Jesus abolish the Law or not?

No. (Matt. 5:17), "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill."
Yes. (Eph. 2:14-15), "For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace."
In Matthew 5:17 Jesus is speaking about the Old Testament principles and authority of rule and revelation. When Jesus said that He came to fulfill the law, He came to establish it and demonstrate how it pointed to Him and how He would live it perfectly.
In Eph. 2:14-15, Paul is speaking about how the gentiles who were called the uncircumcision (v. 11), were separated from Christ (v. 12), but have now been brought near (to God) by the blood of Christ (v. 13). Jesus removed the requirement of having to follow the Law in order to please God, established justification by faith, and thereby united both Jew and Gentile into one group in Christ. This is when Paul says in verse 15 that he abolished in his flesh the enmity which is the law of commandments in ordinances. The Law was that which separated Jew from Gentile and since it has been fulfilled in Christ, it is no longer something that would separate Jew and Gentile.

Jesus would be the "seed of the woman" that would crush the serpent's head.

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."


Galatians 4:4 But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law,

1 John 3:8 He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.
Jesus would be the "seed of Abraham."


Genesis 12:3  I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."


Matthew 1:1 A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham:

Acts 3:25 And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.'


Galatians 3:16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ.

God wants us to worship Him in spirit and in truth

God wants us to worship Him in spirit and in truth.Do you spend more time watching tv, than you do with God each day? If so, then you are not worshipping Him in spirit. God has to be first in your life every day, not just once a week, but EVERYDAY. Christ gave His life for you. Are you giving your life for Him? You should be, if you are worshipping Him in spirit.

Jesus made the comment about worshipping God in spirit and in truth when he talking to a Samaritan woman at the well of Jacob (Israel). At the end of his conversation with her he states:
" . . . Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth." (John 4:21-24) Our family worship should bring the spirit of God into our midst.We must be careful because the enemy wants to hinder worship. He doesn’t want us to have the closeness with God that we need.
If God has revealed the truth to you about something in the Bible, but you choose to ignore it, because it does not fit in with what you like, and because it doesn't 'feel' nice, then you are rejecting the Holy Spirit's guidance.

The  Holy Spirit alive in us, growing into a beautiful fruit tree. The fruit that the Holy Spirit produces is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Making use the fruits of the spirits one can worship god in spirit and truth.

Family Planning and Birthcontrol is wrong in the eyes of God!

God is the author of life. There is no one in the Bible who expressed a desire not to have any children we need look life from God's perspective.

Any kind of birth control and family planning is sinful in the Christian marriages which rob God of the royal priesthood children, a holy nation, a people belonging to God.
Since 1 Corinthians 7:2 clearly includes sex before marriage in the definition of sexual immorality, all of the Bible verses that condemn sexual immorality as being sinful also condemn sex before marriage as sinful. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations of which God approves (Hebrews 13:4).
But in side the Marriage, Man was commissioned by God “to be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:2)

 Marriage was instituted by God as a stable environment in which to produce and raise children. Parenthood is a Gods is a blessing. There are sinful people who use birth control/family planning methods for a variety of selfish interests and unbiblical reasons sadly; children today are sometimes considered as a nuisance and a burden. Some people do not want children because they want to focus on themselves, their careers, materialism, their selfish desires, their freedom and their money and they don’t like to take a God ordained responsibility and commitment for a family. Often, this type of selfishness is at the root of avoiding kids. This kind of attitude is sinful. Romans 12:2 declares, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”


God forms children in the womb (Psalm 139:13-16). God knows children before their birth (Jeremiah 1:5; Galatians 1:15). The only true provider for all mankind is God. Therefore, the woman who assumes she can simply postpone her childbearing in an effort to finish her education, establish her career, or pursue her travel goals may in fact be wasting her most fertile years of her motherhood by using birth control/Family planning. Having children in old age will create numerous health problems, complications and risks for a Mother as well as for child. Its not appropriate to postpone to have children’s in the beginning of marriage for selfish reasons.
Children are a vital part of God's plan for mankind and who could grow up to serve and worship him.


The purpose for our life, and for our families, is to know God and to glorify Him. Frequent mutually satisfying sex in marriage creates a stronger bond between husbands and wives. Saying No to have children is it is a refusal on the part of those who use it to be open to the children that God planned to send them. The Bible does tell us that children are a blessing from God. Psalm 127:3-5 says, “Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. This is contrary to the way much of the world views children—as a hindrance and a burden. When we look at each child through the eyes of God, every child is a blessing and expanding God's kingdom.


God has a plan and purpose for every person born regardless of how that birth came about. In Jeremiah 29:11 God confirms David's thoughts, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Let’s look at the Scripture more closely:
Birthcontol and family planning are sinful because they are, in and of themselves, not open to life and not open to the will of God. .when a couple engage in marital relations, their actions as well as their intentions must be open to life and open to the will of God.
We must place our faith in God and rely on Him to guide us through all situations and decisions that arise in life.God gave man free will. Man could choose to obey, or to disobey God.
