Summary
In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity Podcast, J. Warner Wallace tackles one of the most important questions in the Christian faith: Is Jesus truly God, or just a created agent of God? Limiting the "evidence" to three key passages—John 1, Colossians 1, and Hebrews 1—he works through the text like an investigative case file, showing how each "chapter one" presents Jesus as Creator, sustainer, redeemer, and the visible image of the invisible God. Along the way, he explains terms like "firstborn of all creation" and "the exact imprint of His nature," clarifying why the earliest Christians worshiped Jesus and why Christianity collapses if He is anything less than God incarnate. If you've heard that Paul invented a different Jesus, that the Gospels don't teach His deity, or that early Christians didn't worship Him as God, this episode will help you rethink those claims and better explain Jesus' identity to the people you love.
