“How does ‘the Word was a god’ fit with the Bible’s teaching that there is only one God?”

[DavidTree]

You are right in that--Isaiah 44:6- This is what Jehovah says, The king of Israel and his repurchaser, Jehovah of hosts. I( not we or us) am the first and i am the last there is no God but me( not we or us)--Please listen to your own advice.

Isaiah 44:6 speaks of YHWH YAHshua HaMashiach

SEE Here = Revelation 1:5-8

Grace and peace to you from Him who is and was and is to come, and from the seven spiritsc before His throne,
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood, who has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen.

Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him—even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty.

 

[Keiw1]

The Apostles held that Jesus was very God very Man, as per the Ecf in second century, way before any Council 'declared"

Here is Paul telling all who God is=1Cor 8:6--There is one God to all, the Father.

It names YHVH(Jehovah) in a real bible. Yes Jehovah spoke the Alpha and Omega line. The word Amen stopped the prior thought about Jesus.

That One Day has Come

Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it. For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.

Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said:

“So I swore on oath in My anger,

‘They shall never enter My rest.’”

And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world. For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”
And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”

Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience,
God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated:
“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

For He says: "In the acceptable time I listened to you, and in the day of salvation I helped you."
Behold, now is the time of favor; behold, Now/Today is the Day of Salvation.

Isaiah 44:6--I am YHVH(Jehovah) beside me there is no other God. Jesus comes in Jehovah's name. He does it all for Jehovah= his God and Father. Thus in a sense Jehovah is coming-through his son. Jehovah is the only power source. Jehovah did all the powerful works through Jesus( Acts 2:22) then and now.

Catholicism put worship. The same Greek word means obeisance to a king as well, plus 3 other things. None who has a God, gets worship. You all are putting your eternal lives into Catholicism translating= altered and error filled. Its proven fact.

In the beginning was the WORD, the Word was with God and the Word was God.
HE was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through HIM.

Yahweh came to show us the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE
Through Yaweh YAHshua HaMashiach we are brought to the FATHER

John 14:1 = “Let not your heart be troubled; you(jehovah witnesses) believe in God, believe also in Me."

"Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.
And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

Jesus stated to us John 14:1
Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me.
Would be blasphemy unless he was and is also God

Our friend must note here that Jesus was NOT asking to now receive glory, but to have back the glory always had and shared with God the Father

Yahweh stated that he alone is savior, and knows no other one, yet Jesus was called Savior also
