Hello Kate,
I do not disagree that Jesus created all things, But he did not create himself. The Almighty God created Jesus and all other things through Jesus.
That's understandable.
The Almighty God has entrusted his son Jesus with all of his belongings. Only someone who has deep love and trust can give his child all that authority. Why is it so hard to believe that Jesus was a created being? I truly believe people cannot get the full understanding of Jesus role because they do not understand that Almighty God is not the same person as Jesus the Christ. Because of this misunderstanding it is hard for them comprehend certain scriptures.
Jesus and Almighty God are not equal in anyway! Almighty God gave Jesus the ability to create all things. Jesus who will not lie said in John 14:28, that his Father was greater. He told his discples that there are things that he(Jesus the son) nor the angels (other sons')did not know, but the Father knows. Mark 13:31-33.
So in conclusion Jesus does not lie, he said it out of his own mouth
