Jesus is God manifest in the flesh. There is only one God. Scripture screams out this fact throughtout the entire book. He is the Word(thought) made flesh. If you are going to use the royal pronoun that was common in 17th century english to prove that there were more than one "god" in genesis, then you also need to explain the seven spirits of God in Revelation
Col 1:15 just proves that Jesus Christ was the man created by God for his spirit to indwell. See Col 2:9

you are absolutely right.
The Scriptures affirm that Jesus had a beginning. There was a time before that when God was alone. Therefore Jesus cannot be Co-eternal.
God has to be Eternal then otherwise He would have a beginning. Suppose, we say God had a beginning, then there was a time when God did not exist. It means that he needed somebody else to make him exist. So there is somebody else who is God, not him. but as we agreed that there is only one God, therefore, there is no one else who make Him exist. When we say that God cannot be born, we are also saying that a creator cannot becomes his creation, because creation means what is in need of a creator. To be a creature, mean there had to be someone to create you. So if God becomes his creation, it means now he is in need of a creator. And this is absurdity! As we know, A creation is not eternal. An eternal being is uncreated. We can conclude that the one God who is uncreated, has to be Eternal.
"Christ the son of Mary was no more than an Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!" QURAN (5:75)

okay..... I am going to try and make a long story short. The Holy Trinity is a complex situation. Jesus is God in the flesh. God is three persons in one. Best way to describe it. I am one person, but I have a role as a wife, a mother and a child. All three roles are different but in the same person. Here are some scriptures to answer this question for you.
John 1:1-2In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.The same was in the beginning with God.
Jhn 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jhn 10:30 I and [my] Father are one.
Jhn 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the Father?
Jhn 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the . world, received up into glory.
1Jo 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one
1Jo 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Jesus Christ is part of the trinity: God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.... All three are eternal.... they had no beginning they will have no end..... Angels were created beings..... Man was a created being.....
Jesus Christ the Lord is eternal.....Read the first Chapter of the Gospel of John for a good explanation.... The Word was God... and Jesus was the Word.... When Word is capitalized it is referring to the Deity of Jesus Christ....
The "Our" your referring to is the trinity...

Moses, Jesus, and another guy were out playing golf one day.
Moses pulled up to the tee and drove a long one. It landed in the
fairway but rolled directly toward a water trap. Quickly Moses raised
his club, the water parted and it rolled to the other side, safe and sound.
Next, Jesus strolled up to the tee and hit a nice long one directly
toward the same water trap. It landed directly in the center of the pond
and kind of hovered over the water. Jesus casually walked out on the
pond and chipped it up onto the green.
The third guy got up and sort of randomly whacked the ball. It headed
out over the fence and into on-coming traffic on a nearby street. It
bounced off a truck and hit a nearby tree. From there it bounced onto
the roof of a nearby shack and rolled down into the gutter, down the
downspout, out onto the fairway and right toward the same pond. On the
way to the pond, it hit a little stone and bounced out o ver the water,
onto a lily pad where it rested quietly. Suddenly, a very large bullfrog
jumped up on the lily pad and snatched the ball into his mouth. Just
then, an eagle swooped down and grabbed the frog and flew away. As they
pass over the green, the frog squealed with fright and dropped the ball,
which bounced right into the hole for a beautiful hole in one.
Moses turned to Jesus and said, "I hate playing with your Dad.
What did Moses say? He and Jesus were playing golf with Jesus's Dad or Father, if Jesus is God, how could both of them be playing golf with Moses? Jesus is the Son, Dad is the Almighty God, it is just as simply as that.

Jesus is the "Word" of God...the second divine person of the Holy Trinity. Read the opening of the Gospel of John.
Yes, He is.
I read John 1:1 from the Douay-Rheims, the oldest English translation available. I do realize for one reason or another some choose to reject it...but I do not.
This version (Latin Vulgate to Douay-Rheims) has been affirmed by the Council of Trent...is a word for word direct and faithful translation directly from the Church's long held Latin Vulgate which again comes directly and faithfully from the (no longer available) original Hebrew and Greek writings translated by St. Jerome.
Since the Church has used, and continues to use this Latin Vulgate, for some 1600 years and then the DR English since the late 1500's, I believe I can rely on it.
Because of variations from more modern Greek texts, from text to text, the Church magesterium has determined the Latin Vulgate has actually remained more faithful to the original than today's Greek copies.
Again, I know people differ on this and you are also free to dismiss these reasons, but my study of this subject has convinced me. Thank you for your reply and concern, but I believe I have the fullness of the truth on this issue.
May God bless you and yours.

Questions about Jesus, or Questions designed to convert or recruit people to Jesus are simply a waste of time. People have already decided for the most part if they believe in the fiction written in the bible. People who feel God talks to them have psychological problems because hearing voices is a psychological illness. %-}

He is the Son of God, but He in his divine power has always existed since the Creation, from the beginning of time.

Pr. Isa aka Jesus is not god, not the son of god but simply a Prophet. the trinity doesn't make sense. that's why no one can understand it and ask yourself this question.
when Jesus died how many gods where there? and right now how many gods are there? on judgment day which god will judge? ummmmmmm jesus or his father? also with 3 separate entities why haven't they fought for the ultimate power?
