is the First "WITH" the Last two persons? Isaiah 41:4 "Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he."

and now this, Isaiah 48:12 "Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last." CHECKMATE, the same one person. because "ALSO" means "in addition; too". case closed.
for the same with in John 1:1 certify the Word was God
101G.
Sorry no
"with" (pros -Gr) does not mean the same person

yes another major failure with basic language and definitions of words and their meanings.
He keeps talking about Allos
but it is hard to figure out why
Matt 2:12And after being warned by God in a dream not to return to Herod, the magi left for their own country by another way.
Matt 4:21Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets; and He called them.
Matt 5:39But I say to you, do not show opposition against an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other toward him also.
Matt 8:9For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
Matt 12:13Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand!” He stretched it out, and it was restored to normal, like the other.
Matt 13:5Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and they sprang up immediately, because they had no depth of soil.
Matt 13:7Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out.
Matt 13:8But others fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times as much.
Matt 13:24Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
Matt 13:31He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a person took and sowed in his field;
Matt 13:33He spoke another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three sata of flour until it was all leavened.”
Matt 16:14And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah, or one of the other prophets.”
Matt 19:9And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
Matt 20:3And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace;
Matt 20:6And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing around; and he said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day long?’
Matt 21:8Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
Matt 21:33“Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and he leased it to vine-growers and went on a journey.
Matt 21:36Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first; and they did the same things to them.
Matt 21:41They said to Him, “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end and lease the vineyard to other vine-growers, who will pay him the fruit in the proper seasons.”
Matt 22:4Again he sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened cattle are all butchered and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast!” ’
Matt 25:16The one who had received the five talents immediately went and did business with them, and earned five more talents.
Matt 25:17In the same way the one who had received the two talents earned two more.
Matt 25:20The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have earned five more talents.’
Matt 25:22“Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said, ‘Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have earned two more talents.’
it never refers to a numerical oneness

yes its just another one of his fallacious arguments and redefining words to fit a doctrinal belief, sound familiar lol.

How clear can God get. when the bible states a. the First is "WITH" the Last, or b. the Word is "WITH" God, or "EQUAL" .... "WITH" God, as in Phil. 2:6 clearly states. How many times must God tell you before you can believe. Isaiah got it right, Isaiah 53:1 "Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?"
if one cannot believe, 2 Thessalonians 2:11 "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:" 2 Thessalonians 2:12 "That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." .
now, another clear example. Revelation 1:4 "John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;" Revelation 1:5 "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"
is this Revelation from ONE PERSON, TWO PERSONS, or THREE PERSONS?
FROM .... "HIM", him is a single person, "which is, and which was, and which is to come". is this the person called the Father? and from the "seven Spirits". is this the person called the Holy Spirit?, now two persons? the Father and the Holy Spirit? now the third person... "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness" Jesus the Christ, the third person? if one believes that this is three separates person, then you ERROR. THIS IS THE SAME ONE PERSON. From HIM, not from them. the conjunction "AND" as in John 17:3 connect all the subjects, to "HIM that the Letter is from.
IF ONE CANNOT COUNT, JUST ASK................ this is the POWER of GOD in the H259 ECHAD of HIMSELF, as the NT clearly states, the G243 ALLOS of himself in GLORIFIED FLESH, which answer John 17:3 & 5.
this is just too easy not to understand.

sorry with does not mean the same one
you were given the lexical definition and it did not support your theology
Why you would quote
John 17:3 (KJV 1900) — 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
is a mystery as that is two persons
as is the passage in Isaiah you quote from
Isaiah 53:2–12 (KJV 1900) — 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, And as a root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness; And when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected of men; A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: And we hid as it were our faces from him; He was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, And carried our sorrows: Yet we did esteem him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: The chastisement of our peace was upon him; And with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned every one to his own way; And the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, Yet he opened not his mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: And who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: For the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, And with the rich in his death; Because he had done no violence, Neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, He shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; For he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, And he shall divide the spoil with the strong; Because he hath poured out his soul unto death: And he was numbered with the transgressors; And he bare the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.
