As a Christian, it is essential to understand and appreciate the supremacy of Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:16-17 asserts that Christ is the creator of everything that exists, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. At the same time, this passage may be considered offensive by some who view it as exclusionary and dismissive of other belief systems. However, the question is not whether it offends but instead whether it is true.
