   I have appreciated visiting your website to get ” head knowledge ” about God and the Bible. But I wonder if all your teachings harmonize. In this video you are telling the kids Jesus was “Gods son” and that under God’s direction he created the entire universe, but in other articles for adults you say Jesus was a ” created angel” That does not seem to harmonize. Can you help me and my child understand this apparent contradiction?

     Hi, Edward, first, thank you for your kind words. We appreciate your writing with this important question. The Scriptures teach that Jesus had a beginning and was the first and only direct creation of God. He is called “the beginning of the creation of God” (Revelation 3:14) and “the firstborn of all creation” (Colossians 1:15). While God the Father is “from everlasting to everlasting” (Psalm 90:2), the son was “brought forth” as the start of God’s creative work (Proverbs 8:22–30, applied symbolically to the Logos). After his own creation, the Logos served as God’s “master workman,” the one through whom “all things came into being” (John 1:3; 1 Corinthians 8:6).

     The title “Son of God” applies to Jesus in both his pre‑human and human existence. In the heavenly realm, angels are collectively called “sons of God” (Job 38:7), but Jesus is uniquely the “only begotten son” (John 3:16), indicating a direct and exclusive relationship with the Father. When the Logos became human, he was still called the Son of God because his life came directly from God, not from a human father (Luke 1:35). His sonship reflects the same truth in both realms: his life originates from the Father alone (John 5:26).

     The titles Logos and archangel describe Jesus’ role and office. “Logos” means “Word,” “spokesman,” or “mouthpiece,” and John identifies Jesus with this title in his pre‑human existence: “In the beginning was the Word… and the Word was with God” (John 1:1). As the Logos, he perfectly communicated God’s will (John 12:49–50).

     The term “angel” refers to a function — “messenger” — not a nature. Scripture identifies Michael the Archangel as the leader of the heavenly host (Daniel 12:1; Jude 9), the pre‑human identity of Jesus. As the “archangel,” or chief messenger, he carried the highest authority among the angels and executed God’s primary commands (1 Thessalonians 4:16, where the Lord’s voice is associated with “the voice of the archangel”).

     Understanding how Jesus can be God’s son, the Logos, and a created angel requires recognizing his change of nature. Before coming to earth, he existed as a spirit being (John 17:5). Spirit beings are “mortal” in the sense that their life is sustained by God. To become the ransom for Adam, Jesus “emptied himself” and took on human nature (Philippians 2:6–8), being “made flesh” (John 1:14). After his faithful sacrifice and resurrection, God exalted him to the divine nature, granting him immortality (Romans 6:9) and a name above every name (Philippians 2:9–11). This divine nature was a reward he did not possess before his human life.

     Jesus is the Son of God because he is the Father’s direct offspring (John 5:26). He is the Logos because he is God’s primary spokesman (John 1:1). He is a created angelic being in the sense that he was the first being brought into existence to serve as God’s chief messenger (Colossians 1:15; Revelation 3:14). These titles do not contradict one another; together they describe his origin, his role and his progression from spirit being to human to exalted divine son.
