Default Is Christ Both the Creator and a Creature?

Witness Lee stated that Christ is both the creator and a creature. Is the correct?
Here is the statement: https://contendingforthefaith.org/en...rist/#creature

Witness Lee twisted meaning of "the Firstborn of all creation" in Colossians 1:15. Witness Lee said that "the Firstborn of all creation" means Christ is the "Firstborn of all creation, the First of all creatures", but the phrase should be interpreted to express Christ’s sovereignty over creation instead.

Does Jesus's human body make him a creature? Does it imply that the second person of Trinity is also a creature? This claim caused a huge theological debate among chinese theologians. Also, this issue is more complex under Lee's modalistic teaching. Under the modalistic view, there is only one person in the Godhead, Witness Lee's claim makes the entire Godhead also a creature.


Below are the answers I have found.
