Refutation
Not Arian — archē = origin/ruler, not first creature
Intelligence Brief
Christ is the archē of God's creation — the origin, source, and sovereign ruler of all created things. This is NOT that Christ was the first thing created (the Arian heresy). archē = originating source and ruling principle. Christ is not the first creature but the one from whom all creation proceeds. Colossians 1:15-18: "by him all things were created... He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." The self-sufficient Laodicean church is addressed by the one from whom everything comes. GK: hē archē tēs ktiseōs tou Theou. archē = beginning, origin, first cause, ruler. HEB: reshit (רֵאשִׁית). SCIF: Originating command authority — nothing exists apart from his initiative.
