Jesus IS God. He is the Word and was in at the beginning. He spoke the word and it was created.
Circular Reasoning. You are leading with your conclusion, make an unwarranted assumption, then pretend the words God spoke were spoken by somebody else.
Who said "This is my son in whom I am well pleased?" It was not Jesus speaking these words, the words of God.
John 1:1-4
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
So how do people argue against that?
The word became flesh, not God. See the difference? And for some reason, trinitarians mistranslate 'this' with 'he.' See John 6:60. It should read 'this word' not 'he word' since words are WHAT's not WHO's.
Why are you assuming the word in John 1:1 refers to Jesus? Do you realize it is inapproproate to use anything in John's Gospel, the most anti-trinitarian book in the whole Bible because of what John himself said at 20:31 - that everything he wrote was to prove something other than the idea that Jesus is God; namely, that Jesus is God’s Anointed. So, it is funny to see trinitarians try to twist 1:1 – and indeed, his entire Gospel - to have a purpose other than what John
explicitly stated is the purpose of his Gospel!
John's prologue refers to God, not Jesus, who is not even mentioned until v14. For a better understanding of the argument watch this:
