According to Paul, regular saved Christians are also Superior to God's Angels. Does that mean we are God? Why do you make an exception for Jesus? Obviously if people judge angels then they are greater than angels.
1 Corinthians 6
3Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
Then I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven wrapped in a cloud, with a halo around his head; his face was like the sun and his feet were like pillars of fire. 2 In his hand he held a small scroll that had been opened. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,[
b] 3 and then he cried out in a loud voice as a lion roars. When he cried out, the seven thunders[
c] raised their voices, too.
In speaking of the angels he says,
“He makes his angels spirits,
and his servants flames of fire.”
8
But about the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.”
10
He also says,
“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
12 You will roll them up like a robe;
like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,
and your years will never end.”[

The image of God didn't create the universe. God created the universe. Colossians 1:15-20 is in regards to the church. Not literally all things. When the Bible says "everything" and "all things" it isn't always literal. See Colossians 1:23 for example. Paul is exaggerating in this chapter.
The Deity that dwells in Him did create. As God In Him ,by Him, through Him and for Him created all things.
I think at this point it's an issue of hermenuetics and interpretation. Your literal interpretation does not mesh with scripture. For example, Genesis says YHWH created the heavens and earth. Acts 4 says the Sovereign Lord created the heavens and earth and identifies Jesus as His servant. There is a context that God used Jesus to create, it applies directly to the church.
Is it just me or the Christian Church? When you state "literal interpretation" you fault me for believing and elevate yourself above others in your unbelief. God creating by Jesus is cohesive with the testimony given in regard to the Son.
Another example is John 14:26 in which the Holy Spirit teaches them "all things." That doesn't mean the disciples became omniscient like God, literally knowing all things. There is some context to all of this.
That was after Jesus ascended to where He was before as He taught the disciples when He walked the earth. The HS took from what is Jesus's and made it known to us. That doesn't negate the testimony that God created by Jesus.
John 14
26But
the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name,
will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.
That's what you're doing.
Again is that just me or the Christian church?
