"Neither should we imagine that Christ is a creature, because Paul 
calls Him (Col. 1:15) "The First-born of every creature" for the very next verses show Him to be Creator and not a creature. "For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created by Him, and for Him and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist."
---Now if He created everything that was ever created
---and existed before all created things,
-it is evident that He Himself is not among created things.
He is above all creation and not a part of it."
