title the beginning

There is only one true God who did not have a beginning. “God said to Moses, I am who I am, and he said to them, ‘Thus you say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you’’ (Exodus 3:14). As it is, there is only one person who did not have a beginning, who called “I”.
His name is “Jehovah.” It is the same as it is written, “Thus says the LORD King of Israel, the LORD of hosts, the Redeemer of Israel: I am the first and I am the last; there is no other god besides me” (Isaiah 44:6).
The beginning will soon be the first. There is only one God, whose name is Jehovah, who has a beginning and an end. That is why He said, “I am the first, and I am the last, saith the Lord; there is no other god but me.” Therefore, the only true God is the One who possessed from the beginning to the beginning.
When the Word of the I AM, Jehovah, the only true God, is with God, it is God. When the Word is not revealed and the Word is with God, the Word is called the will of God.
When the will of God is revealed in the word, it is the word of God, and it is written, "The LORD said to Moses, Write these words down, for I have made a covenant with you and Israel according to the will of these words." (Exodus 34:27) It is the same evidence.
This is why the Bible says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:1-3) was testified.
Since the Word is the Word of God, this Word is the will of God who was with God in the will. This is because all who are originally with God are Gods belonging to the only true God. As it is written, “God stands in the assembly of God, judging among the judges, How long will you judge unjustly and show the face of the wicked?” (Selah) (Psalm 82:1-2). It is also the same as the evidence of “I say, ye are gods, and all are sons of the Most High...” (Psalm 82:6).
For this reason, Christ, who testified, “The Word became 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” (John 1:14) said, “The Bible cannot be abolished. If those who received the word of God are called gods, how much more do you call blasphemy for saying that I am the Son of God, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world” (John 10:35-36).
This is because the word of God, who was with God in the beginning, first came to someone from above, saying, “...you are my son, and today I have begotten you” (Psalm 2:7). This is why Jesus testified, “You are from below, and I am from above; you are of this world, and I am not of this world” (John 8:23).
For this reason, the Bible says, “He is by some means superior to the angels, and he inherits a name more beautiful than them. When God said to any of the angels, 'You are my son, and today I have begotten you,' and again I am a father to him, and he is a son to me. Heb 1:4-5) And again, “As for the Son, O God, Your throne endures forever, and the scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of fairness. For you loved righteousness and hated lawlessness, therefore God That is, your God has anointed you with the oil of joy, so that you are superior to your fellow men…” (Hebrews 1:8-9).
Concerning Jesus, who was with God in the beginning, that is, the Word became flesh, “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or rulers or principalities or authorities, all things were through him. He was created for him, and he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning and the firstborn from the dead, so that he himself might be supreme in all things, so that the Father may dwell in Jesus in all its fullness He took pleasure in reconciling all things to himself through him, both earthly and heavenly, making peace through the blood of his cross” (Colossians 1:16-20).
Because of all this, there is only one true God, the only true God. “He alone has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen and cannot see. Amen to everlasting power.” (1 Timothy 6:16) Thank you, Lord.
