before me there was no god formed, now shall there be after me.
11. I even I am the lord and besides me there is no savior.
So how can Jesus save you if God said only he can and all you need for redemption is to ask him?

Really true,
I know the answer, do you? You claim to be a teacher of ancient religious text in the origional language but do not know lucifer is from a latin word? Should you not understand languages you claim to teach? Or even understand teaching requires thought on the part of the ones being tought not just being told? Is not true education teaching one to discover the answers for themselves?

Salvation: Preservation or deliverance from danger or destruction. That deliverance may be from the hands of oppressors or persecutors. For all true Christians, Jehovah provides through his Son deliverance from the present wicked system of things as well as salvation from bondage to sin and death. For a great crowd of faithful servants of Jehovah living during “the last days,” salvation will include preservation through the great tribulation.

Savior: Repeatedly the Scriptures refer to God as Savior. At Isaiah 43:11 God even says: “Besides me there is no savior.” Since Jesus is also referred to as Savior, are God and Jesus the same? Not at all. Titus 1:3, 4 speaks of “God our Savior,” and then of both “God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.” So, both persons are saviors. Jude 25 shows the relationship, saying: “God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Italics added.) (See also Acts 13:23.) At Judges 3:9, the same Hebrew word (moh·shi′a‛, rendered “savior” or “deliverer”) that is used at Isaiah 43:11 is applied to Othniel, a judge in Israel, but that certainly did not make Othniel Jehovah, did it? A reading of Isaiah 43:1-12 shows that verse 11 means that Jehovah alone was the One who provided salvation, or deliverance, for Israel; that salvation did not come from any of the gods of the surrounding nations.

God: At Isaiah 43:10 Jehovah says: “Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.” Does this mean that, because Jesus Christ is prophetically called “Mighty God” at Isaiah 9:6, Jesus must be Jehovah? Again, the context answers, No! None of the idolatrous Gentile nations formed a god before Jehovah, because no one existed before Jehovah. Nor would they at a future time form any real, live god that was able to prophesy. (Isa. 46:9, 10) But that does not mean that Jehovah never caused to exist anyone who is properly referred to as a god. (Ps. 82:1, 6; John 1:1, NW) At Isaiah 10:21 Jehovah is referred to as “mighty God,” just as Jesus is in Isaiah 9:6; but only Jehovah is ever called “God Almighty.”—Gen. 17:1.

If a certain title or descriptive phrase is found in more than one location in the Scriptures, it should never hastily be concluded that it must always refer to the same person. Such reasoning would lead to the conclusion that Nebuchadnezzar was Jesus Christ, because both were called “king of kings” (Dan. 2:37; Rev. 17:14); and that Jesus’ disciples were actually Jesus Christ, because both were called “the light of the world.” (Matt. 5:14; John 8:12) We should always consider the context and any other instances in the Bible where the same expression occurs.

Because Jesus Christ and God the Father are One. The Godhead is a Trinity . . . The Father God, The Son Jesus and The Holy Spirit. All three were at creation. The only way to see God is the body of Jesus, because God is a Spirit and a consuming fire. Man burns up in front of God. To have a relationship with God we had to meet Jesus on the earth.
"created in OUR image" - who was the "our" in creation. The "our" was the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Did you read verse 13, "Yea, before the day was I am He; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let (reverse) it."

Jesus said, "Before the day was - I am" which means He was at creation.

Revelation 4:11 "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou has created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."

John clearly tells us that the book of Revelation is the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Regardless of what any man says, The Father God, The Son Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit are all three One. The Godhead and The Holy Trinity. Man limits God when they think He is like us as only one person or one entity. God is not limited as we are.

Funny, that's what I asked the JW's right before they kicked me out of the Kingdom Hall...
But first, I pointed out some scriptures to them... Here's a few of the one's I pointed out:

A perfect blood sacrifice is required for forgiveness of our sins, so God promised waaaay back in Isaiah that He'd send one:

(All scripture is NIV)
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Matthew 1:23/Isaiah 7:14
The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"—which means, "God with us."
John 10:30
I and the Father are One
John 10:33
"we are not stoning you for any of these" replied the Jews, "But for blashphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."

God The Father, Christ Jesus The Son, and The Holy Spirit are One and individual at the same time.

King James Version

10Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

You said in a previous question that you
are a Christian Minister - so why do you not know the clear answer to this? I have students that are 7 and 8 years of age and know the answer. How strange..........

Nice try, but all you do is prove you don't have a clue. Read the rest of the book, study its content, then comeback and ask good questions.
