Remain in the darkness if you wish.
I guess the translators were wrong to use the word "creature" in Col 1:15.
There is no "creature" in Colossians 1:15.
For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. - Colossians 1:9-18

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. - Hebrews 1:1-4

There's some meaning lost in the translation to english. Here is the greek:
And here are the meanings of "charakter" and "hypostaseos", respectively:
"radiance of His (the Father's) glory and exact expression of His (the Father's) substance"
There is no way to teach someone who has limited ability to think for themself. Just go sit and soak every Sunday to the half truths that you were taught.
Says the one who has turned his back on the church because he leans too much on his own understanding. You are the obstinate one, Keypurr. You refuse to even consider that you might be wrong.
