Revelation 4:11
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Primary
What this passage establishes
The One on the throne is worthy because He created all things by His will.
Why it matters in the argument
Scripture says God created alone, then the New Testament places creation in Christ. The identity claim is stronger than merely saying Jesus assisted another Creator.
Apostolic connection
Because the LORD says He created by Himself, New Testament creation passages reveal Jesus within the identity of the one Creator.
Common misunderstanding
Language such as ‘by’ or ‘through’ does not require a second creator beside God; Scripture also describes God creating by His word, wisdom, power, and will.
How to use it in conversation
Pair an Old Testament ‘created alone’ passage with a New Testament passage that attributes creation to Christ.
