This question is inspired by an e-mail I received. It goes like this " there is no other allmighty gods that is true but there are millions of less powerful or only mighty gods that are subjected to most powerful being, " god" is not a name is a title or attribute."
Help me out.

Pretty clear who is speaking:
It says: "I am the LORD"
LORD is in capital letters, meaning that in the Hebrew it is YAHWEH or JEHOVAH.
No question about it: The God of Abraham and Moses is speaking.
god bless

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.” (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.

The Lord is not only the Creator, but also the Savior, and there can be no other. None but the all-holy Creator of life can redeem from death. The Lord Jesus Christ is Himself Creator (John 1:1-3) and “the great God and our Saviour” (Titus 2:13). "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending" (Revelation 1:8).
"I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last" (Revelation 1:11).
"Fear not; I am the first and the last" (Revelation 1:17).
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end" (Revelation 21:6).
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last" (Revelation 22:13).
"I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star"(Revelation 22:16).
Our glorious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to whom we have trusted our eternal souls, is more than just a great religious teacher who was martyred for His faith long ago. He is alive on His throne in heaven, having defeated death forever. He was our great Creator, our sin-bearing Savior and will be our eternal Lord and King.

Isaiah 45:21
21 Declare what is to be, present it—
let them take counsel together.
Who foretold this long ago,
who declared it from the distant past?
Was it not I, the LORD ?
And there is no God apart from me,
a righteous God and a Savior;
there is none but me.
Isaiah 43:10
10"You are My witnesses," declares the LORD,
"And My servant whom I have chosen,
So that you may know and believe Me
And understand that I am He
Before Me there was no God formed,
And there will be none after Me.
So its Jehovah God the Father.

God is a title not a name. The same as "the Lord" that is saying it. Its just one of the times the bible recognizes that other gods exist.

In the verse you mention, it is God the father speaking, he says, in 10-11 "Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me . I even I am the Lord and apart from me there is no savior"

My Bible says "I, even I, am the LORD, and beside me there is no savior." (King James Version). Pretty simple, I'd say. Sounds like you've got a bad translation.
