God did create everything through jesus christ. It was not that jesus created, but that god created with a view toward/through jesus since that was his ultimate plan.

Personally, i have not problem talking about the son of god or that jesus was god's son, since those are biblical terms. However, i am not ever remotely close to tritheism nor do i believe that there is fellowship in the godhead. A lot of debate has been over the sonship. If folks would just start with the ot then go to the nt, instead of the other way around and would also stop looking at the bible through "creedal" lenses, there would be a lot less tritheism lurking in christianity! :d
