So much for the argument that Paul did not reiterate the Gospel in his letters.

Colossians 2:9, “In him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily.”

Philippians 2:5-11, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Amen. In the Old Testament the Jews were warned not to create an image of God.

In the New Testament, God provides us with His own portrait.

"(Jesus Christ) who is the image of the invisible God..." -- Colossians 1:15
