Why Must Jesus Christ Be the
Creator of the Universe?The New Testament is the only religious work
to describe:
l a God who is transcendent to both time (2 Timothy 1:9, Titus 1:2,
Jude 1:25) and space (John 18:36)
l
the creation of the universe from extra
dimensions (Hebrews 11:3)

Not only is Jesus the only one
who could have fulfilled the Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament, He
is the only one who is described as having the attributes necessary to
qualify as Creator of the Universe. The New Testament (which describes the
fulfillment of the Messianic
prophecies by Jesus of Nazareth) describes Jesus as Creator,1
and describes Him as transcendent to both time2
and space,3
characteristics that a Creator God must have
in order to have created our universe. In addition, the New Testament
describes His creation of the universe from invisible extra dimensions.4
