I hope the correspondences you have had with Alamo-Girl have sparked a desire for you to research spiritual things in your Bible.

There are many different members to the Body of Christ and Jesus wishes to relate His game plan to each believer.

I believe the Catholic catechism is referencing the "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters", as a participatory role in the creation.

I have not seen any references in the Bible that describe the Holy Spirit as Creator, however. I will verify this.

Many of us are praying you will seek God personally with your questions as well.

Honestly, I see the argument that Jesus is the Creator is more of a political statement than a statement of faith.

Maybe because it's being advanced by fundamentalists, whom I perceive as being motivated by politics, not by faith.

Fundamentalists reject authority other than their own. They reject scientific authority that conflicts with fundamentalism, they reject governmental authority that conflicts with fundamentalism, and they reject religious authority that conflicts with fundamentalism.

Elevating Jesus to the spot usually reserved for God the Father is part of that, it seems to me.

Anyway, gotta go to court, so will think more on this later.
