An excellent in depth debate between a Trinitarian Gradationist espousing Temporal Incarnational Subordinationism and a Socinian Unitarian who denies the pre-human existence and divinity of Jesus/Logos.
@cheddyrod ::: And where will we find his writings? As far as is known, he left no written records. What is written about him was done long after his 'death'.
Bob, I agree with you that "the Father is the source and the Son the means of Creation"...but the question should be, WHICH/WHAT creation? Col 1 is not talking about the Genesis [birds, trees, etc.] but a "spiritual creation" [thrones, powers, etc.]. And Heb 1 is referring to a future world [Heb 2.5; Ps 102.22-27].
Also, how can do you account for the fact that Jesus himself attributes the Genesis creation to SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN HIMSELF in Mat 19.4; Mar 10.6; 13.19?
@MrLimeyBob...you mean like Isa 9.6? Past tense action of prophecy does not help you. The fact is that the "creation" in view is a future, prophetic one by the use of Ps 102. This is furthered proven by Heb 2.5.
“If God’s role is as Creator, both source (ek) and agent (dia), as in Romans 11.36, then Jesus shares in that role as divine agent (dia) but not as source (ek). The identity is partial...’Equation’ seems to be a better way of saying that if Jesus is God he is not YHWH, he is not the Father, he is not the source of creation, he will finally be subject to God so that God (alone) will be all in all.” J.D.G. Dunn, Did the First Christians Worship Jesus?, p. 144.

Jesus Christ is the son of God and hell of a bright guy. Now if you look at his writings everything will be clear to you.

@kyzersoze74 How could the father be testifying to a future REcreation, using an aorist (past tense - completed action) at Hebrews 1:10.

@MrLimeyBob By the time Hebrews was written Jesus had ascended.
