Col.1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together. 1:18 He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Why does Paul address these brothers and sisters in Collossian's with Christ Jesus pre-human existence as the first born of God, were they in question as too who Jesus Christ was in a great mystery of faith that they would set-up a tribunal of men to figure out the essence of the God-head?

No! Paul was concern as we should be concerned that Christian's walk by Spirit and truth and not by sight, and that the weakness of flesh blinds one to the spiritual reality of the gift we have received in Christ Jesus.

Yes, this is the context of Paul's words here, not a verses taken out of context to support unholy dogma of trinity. In context, these brothers and sisters needed to know what power they had in the headship of Christ Jesus, what God had freely given them from His own love. In understanding the greatness they had received they could endure in faith despite the works of the flesh being planted by Satan the Devil in God field of wheat. Soon this very powerful look into the spirit world would be twisted into one of the most complicated dogma of Christianity causing division like no other subject. Rejecting the very truth of God own world into legal discussion of firstborn, begotten, common sense words twisted in to unreality.

How could Christian's trust a mystery of a three headed god? No Paul was not speaking to any dogma he was speaking truth and Spirit so a person could trust completely God's love for them in sending His own Son to die for us that we might have life.
