Well let me spell it out for you. I posted Isaiah 44:24 which says, "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."
Then I posted John 1:3 which says, "All things came into being by HIM/JESUS CHRIST, and apart from Him (or WITHOUT HIM) nothing came into being that has come into being." What I would like you to do is reconcile this apparent contradiction that says at the Isaiah verse that "God created everything, "ALL ALONE and "BY HIMSELF" with John 1:3 that states Jesus created all things.
Isaiah 44:24 LSB... Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, “I, Yahweh, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself And spreading out the earth all alone,
Well let me spell it out for you...
The Person saying "by Myself...all alone" is Yahweh, "Thus says Yahweh...I, Yahweh..."
Now just to clarify our views...
Who are "Us" if the Person of Jesus created "ALL ALONE" and "BY HIMSELF"?
Genesis 1:26 LSB... Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, so that they will have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
I believe "Us" refers to Yahweh incarnate (Jesus) along with preincarnate Jesus (Yahweh). The one Person of Yahweh/Jesus is referred to as "Us" to contrast incarnate with preincarnate.
