For according to the profound theology theology: Referring here to the study of the divine nature of Christ (the Logos) as found in scripture. of the Holy Scriptures concerning Him:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made. John 1:1, 3. Eusebius cites this to prove the Word's role as the instrument of the Father’s creation.

The same also the great Moses, the first of the prophets, at the time when he wrote by the Spirit of God concerning the creation of the world, taught that the Framer and Creator of all things was no other than Christ Himself—as His truly divine Word—leaving the creation of subordinate things to Him.
