It is amazing I just proved Jesus was not the creator at John 1 and col. 1 and you all act as if he was without providing evidence like I provided the required evidence. Also creation happened before the Word became flesh as Jesus as you note above and thus Jesus had nothing to do with creation and only the Word had anything to do with creation through God.FYI God the Word of John 1:1 is the Creator as per John 1:3/Col.1:16 and Yes indeed God the Word of John 1:1 BECAME Flesh as Jesus Christ in John 1:14! So case closed!
