Is Creation By or Through Jesus Christ?

[F345T]

Not really. Read chapter 48, especially where we have The Three distinct Persons, in verse 16, where the Speaker is Jesus Christ, the Father is Yahweh Adoni, and the Holy Spirit. Read the preceding verses, and you will see that Jesus says that He Created!

12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. 13 Yea, my hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together

Jesus also says that He is "The First and The Last", which means ETERNAL, as YHWH.

This is yet another one of your proof texts that is a dual-usage proof text.

I say Isaiah 48 is proof that God is one individual and you claim "No, that's Christ speaking there." with no provable evidence.

How can you prove that Christ is speaking there, but Christ is not the Father - especially when Isaiah himself states that He IS in Isaiah 9:6?

Verse 16 reads

Approach Me and listen to this.
From the beginning I have not spoken in secret;
from the time anything existed, I was there.”
And now the Lord God
has sent me and His Spirit.

The Person Speaking, is distinct from "the Lord God", which is in the Hebrew, "Yah·weh ’ă·ḏō·nāy", Who "SENT" the Speaker, and the Spirit. The SENDER is not the same Person as those Who are SENT. This is a clear DISTINCTION.

In verse 3, “I have declared the former things from the beginning”, and verse 5, “I have even from the beginning declared it to you”. In verse 12 and 13 the Speaker says, “Listen to Me, O Jacob and Israel, My called; I am He, I am the First, I also am the Last. My hand has also laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens”. In verse 15 we read, “I, even I have spoken, yes, and I have called him”. In the very next verse, we read, “Thus says YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am YHWH your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go”.

All of this shows that the Speaker is YHWH, but NOT The Father or Spirit.

In Isaiah 9:6, the use of the Hebrew "’ă·ḇî·‘aḏ", literally means, "Father of Eternity". The Hebrew noun "’âb", also has the meaning of "originator, chief". As the Creator Who is Himself Eternal.

I say Isaiah 48 is proof that God is one individual

What do you mean by "one individual"--one Being or one person? And what is that proof specifically?
