>Easily.

If it is explaine 'easily', then why did you mess it up so badly?

>he was one?

Why not? More important, why are you trying to second guess God? That
way lies madness.

> The above is dintinguishing specifically the special nature of

No, it is not. Your 'explanation' is sheer fantasy.

>You see, Christ is called "The Word" because all things were created
>"through him and for him and by him".

So YOU say. But Scripture says no such thing.

> Christ was like the master workman
>who carried out God's orders.

No, that would make Him a Gnostic Demiurge.

> Thus when god made the other angels, it was
>Christ who actually spoke.

NO.

> To oversimply, it would like God saying to
>Christ, "Okay, lets make 200 special cherubs." Christ then said, okay, and
>then Christ is the one who actually spoke: "Let there be cherubs!" Thus he
>became known as God's "Word".

That would make Him God's SPOKESMAN/FOREMAN, not 'Word'!

>Thus God never said regarding any othe other angels, "This is my son".

So you say. But the text of Scripture says something very
different. You have cobbled together weak excuses for tampering with
the text of Scripture. FOr Scripture says VERY clearly that He never
said this regarding ANY angel.
