The idea of Jesus being the firstborn, does not mean that He was created, as some cults teach. The Greek and Hebrew words are applied to Jesus in the following way:

Trope or metaphor. First-born, as the first, the chief, one highly distinguished and preeminent; So of Christ, as the beloved Son of God before the creation,

Colossians 1:15, “The firstborn of every creature,” collectively with,

Verse.16, “by Him were all things created.”

Verse 5, The Father said, “this day have I begotten thee?”

Or in relation to His followers,

Romans 8:29, “that He might be the firstborn among many brethren,” compare with,

Colossians 1:18, “He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.”

Or as the first to rise from the dead, the leader and prince of those who shall arise.
