That scripture does NOT state Jesus created through the Father. That is language you are inserting into the text.
I tried several times to point out the very same writer stated the Father created through the Son.
but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.
We agree to disagree. Your free to believe as you do but I don't agree.
It is clear that The Father Created THROUGH Jesus Christ; and Jesus Christ Created THROUGH The Father.
What does this mean?
Very simple, that neither Person in the Eternal Godhead is in any way "greater" than the other.
In Galatians 1:1, Paul writes, "διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ θεοῦ πατρὸς", where we also have the same Greek preposition, "διὰ" used with the genitive. The English is usually translated as, "but through Jesus Christ and God the Father".
However, the original use of "διὰ", was "between two", which means, "together WITH"
The Father and Jesus Christ Created TOGETHER
This is clear from Hebrews 1:10-12, where the Father addresses Jesus Christ as THE ACTUAL CREATOR
This passage is taken from Psalm 102:24-27, where Creation is the Work of "'ĕlôhı̂ym"
Genesis 1:1 says, "In the Beginning 'ĕlôhı̂ym (masculine plural) Created the Heavens and the Earth"
