1. First and Foremost the Word is the beginning of the creation of God yesterday, today, and forever.
John bare record/ testified that the word is the Son of God

supporting verses

Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

Joh 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

------------------------------------------------------

2. Also John said he saw the Son of God in verse 34 but 16 verses above he said No Man "which would includes himself" hath seen God at any time.

Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Joh 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

Joh 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
--------------------------------------------------

3. The concept of Father is an Originator or Source.

as the firstborn and beginning offspring of my earthly father I was given life in the 1980s however my earthly father must have predated the 1980s in order to give life to me.

"Trying to say Before the Beginning or Beginning of his creation their was no time."

"John 5:26" should allude that life originates from The Father of Spirits himself who is the Source or Originator otherwise known as Ancient of Days.

these concepts are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made to include his authority and divinity.

Heb 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

Joh 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
-------------------------------------------

4. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with The Father, and the Word was The Father.

The word was the Father, because the Father gave all things into his hand, and with that authority all things were made by him and without him was not anything that was made.

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh 3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

------------------

5. The Lord our God never was God, always is, or has been God.

Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

------------

6. Creation was not of the will, authority, or authorized by The Son but of The Father. It all came from the one greater than him. Creation is of The Lord our God The Father especially considering he is lord of heaven and earth

The Son did not begat but is begotten of the one that begat.

1Co 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
1Co 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

1Jn 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Act 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

------------------------------

7. God used his beginning of creation by whom he made the worlds; but still will, authority, ideas, plans, etc of The Father. Because all things are of Him.

Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

-------------------------

8. Thus saith The Lord our God The Father "his authority, his will, his works, etc".
There is no us or we in I.
There is no us or we in himself

Isa 44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

Isa 45:11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

Isa 45:12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

---------------------

9. Before the Father their was no God formed, neither shall them be after him. Jesus came forth from him neither came of himself. Also the Lord God our Father gave him the kingdom of his early father David.

Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Joh 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Joh 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

Joh 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

Luk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

--------------------

10. Forgot to mention above; "Joh 1:2" is confirmation that the word was with God in the beginning.

In essence :John 1:2" does not say The Same was in the beginning God.

I am reminded that likely "all things were created by him, and for him: " in that context because God "hath appointed heir of all things"

Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

11. But once again Creation was not authorized or the will of the Son, it was not his works, or authority. One has to look at the volume of the book

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Joh 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

12. And one cannot forget the end. it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Many will claim that John 1:1 says that Jesus is God by wrongly interpreting these verses.

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
--------------------

They claim that Jesus is God because he put on flesh of men.

1Co 15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

-------------------------------
Their interpretation always cause these verses to come into my mind

Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
----------------------

They can make excuses all they want , but just because Jesus did not sin, does not negate the fact the the flesh is corruptible.

He suffered being tempted to

Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Essentially you got individuals knowingly/ unknowingly, confessing that the reason the only begotten son of God is God, is because he was made flesh "put on the corruptible flesh of man"
-----------------------------------

The real reason the word was God is because

Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

because

Joh 3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

and he himself who declared God knows:

Joh 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

I wouldn't be surprised and that is to be expected.

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Joh 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

Joh 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Joh 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
Joh 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.


-------------------------------

Joh 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

Mar 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

-----------------------------

Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

----------------------------

1Jn 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

-------------------------

Joh 19:6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
Joh 19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

I am not Jehovah witness however

Mar 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
Mar 9:39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
Mar 9:40 For he that is not against us is on our part.

if they are preaching the Divinity of The Father then at least in that regard peace be upon them. They are not against the will of the Father.

The word is God because he was made flesh "put on the corruptible flesh of men" is also another lie.

Revelation 19:13 Context

10And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

If we want to understand the beginning then we need to go back to study what Moses tells us. For example in Genesis 1:26: "Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness," This is a reference to Father, Son & Holy Spirit. All three do a work in our lives. Then to complicate things more we read in the next verse: "male and female created He them". In
Genesis 2:24 we read: "they shall be one flesh." God made them male and female so they could be united together and become one.

In the same way we are to become one with with Jesus. The Holy Spirit is to be our Teacher and our Guide.

Our Lord declaring The Lord our God is nothing new.

1Ti 1:2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

-----------------------------------------------------

From what is written it seems that the last enemy which is death has not been put to rest since nations will be smitted.

However the end will come:

1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

----------------------------------------

Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Joh 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

In the same way we are to become one with with Jesus. The Holy Spirit is to be our Teacher and our Guide.
So because God said on the six day of Creation let us make God in our image and likeness means that all who were subservient to God and did his will are also God as well.?

It was not the will of The Son, Holy Spirit , and any "if any " other helpers.

The Son does the will of the Father.

The Holy Spirit does the will of the Father.

The Heavenly Hosts did the will of The Father.
-----------------------


The Lord our God The Father "Lord of Heaven and Earth" is singular and mentioned as such.

Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Act 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

1Co 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
-----------------------

All things are of The Father to include his only Begotten Son and Holy Spirit.

Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

1Jn 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

-------------------------------

Lastly

John 1:1 does not says Jesus is God

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word is God. "Is a lie"

The word is God because he was made flesh "put on the corruptible flesh of men" is also another lie.
