Genesis 1:3 is quite mysterious for Trinitarians, Binitarians, and Unitarians alike. I'm trying to understand what the first work of God was, however, I am finding little to no information on the internet regarding what exactly it (or who) it was that God created.
Do any denominations teach that these verses reveal that God created Jesus on Day 1 of creation?
