Is Jesus the First Created Being in Colossians 1:15?
This video critiques the Jehovah's Witnesses' interpretation of Colossians 1:15, which they believe implies Jesus is the first created being. The speaker argues that the Greek word for firstborn denotes pre-eminence, not creation order. The Watchtower's New World Translation, is criticized for altering the text to support Arianism, a heresy condemned at the Council of Nicea.
Pastor Jonathan Burris emphasizes that Jesus is preeminent, not first created, citing scriptures like Colossians 1:16-17 and Old Testament references to Israel and David as firstborn.
