CHAPTER XXVI.

CHRIST JESUS AS CREATOR, AND ALPHA AND OMEGA.

Christian dogma also teaches that it was not ”G.o.d the Father,” but ”G.o.d the Son” who created the heavens, the earth, and all that therein is.

The writer of the fourth Gospel says:

”_All things were made by him_, and without him was not anything made that was made.”[247:1]

Again:

”He was in the world _and the world was made by him_, and the world knew him not.”[247:2]

In the ”Epistle to the Colossians,” we read that:

”By _him_ were all things created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or princ.i.p.alities, or powers; _all things were created by him_.”[247:3]
