It doesn't matter what you believe. The truth remains the same. And if you are referring to the King James bible, verse 11 is a false addition. He doesn't say "I am the Alpha and the Omega". Read the whole from the beginning of Revelations. At verse 4 and 5 it reads:
"John to the seven assemblies which are in Asia. Grace unto you, and peace, from him WHICH IS, AND WHICH WAS, AND WHICH IS TO COME, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne. And from Yahusha the anointed, the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead ones, and the chief of the kings of the earth. Unto him who loves us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood."
As you can read Jesus is not the one who is, and was and is to come. That is the Father who's name reflects that line. Yahweh (Yah-u-eh) is the self existing one. In fact your bible should read at verse 8:
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Master Yahueh, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the absolute Ruler"
There is scripturally (as you can well see) no basis to claim what you have claimed, that Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega.
As you read, Yahusha has "washed us from our sins in his own blood"! Why should we not praise him for that wonderful deed? That doesn't mean his the almighty, it means that he is our Master and Head of the assembly, unto the esteem of the Father.
The word god can be referred to anyone. It was referred to Moses, to the ones the word of the God came to, and even the adversary (satan) is called the god of this age. The anointed One is the god of the next age. And afterward he shall give up the kingdom unto the Father and the Father will be all in all. And Jesus is pictured as a Lamb on the new earth, who has finished the will of the Father, His God. And has a new name. And the Father will rule unto the ages of the ages, and be our God, and we will be his children, (again) thru his only child. Everything we do thru his Son. Therefore we praise his Son. And the Son praises the Father. And we praise the Father thru the Son.
"Yahueh created (kanah) me at the beginning of his way, before his works of old. Ages ago I was set up, from the beginning or ever the earth was. When there was no depths, I was brought forth, where there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth. While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there, when he set a compass upon the face of the depth. When he established the cloud above, when he strengthened the fountains of the deep. When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment. When he appointed the foundations of the earth. Then I was by his side, as a master builder, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him." - Proverbs 8:22-30
He was created before all, and thru him were all things created. That's why he is in the right sense, "first and the last".
"Yet to us one God, the Father, OUT OF whom are all things, and we in him. And one Master Yahusha the anointed, THRU whom are all things, and we thru him." 1 Corinthians 8:6
Creation is always THRU (Gr. DIA) him. That's the answer to the verse in Genesis 1:26:
"And the God said, Let us make man in our image..."
The "Us" is Yahueh and his son, who were by his side "as a master builder", created before all and thru him we were created. So when the scriptures says he is the only begotten, thats exactly what it means. He was alone created (begotten) by the Father, and THRU him (the master builder) were everything created. If you don't want to believe me, believe the scripture, because it testifies of him. That he is the literal, Son of the Creator, the anointed. John admits that the goal of his testimony is to proof just that. That Yahusha (Jesus) is the anointed one, the son of the living God.
"... These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of the God" - Revelations 3:14
"Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation" - Col. 1:15
According to the scripture, he was indeed created before the times of the ages. And by the way, the God is invisible, and the scriptures says no one has ever seen him at any time. Many has seen Jesus, on earth and in vision of the Future. Yet no one has seen the God. Stephen before he was stoned, when he looked into the heavens, saw Jesus on the right hand of Esteem. He only saw the esteem of the Father, who is invisible.
"And this is age-lasting life, that they might know you the only true God, and Yahusha the anointed, whom you have sent." - John 17:3
"All were made THRU him (Yahusha), and without him was not anything made that was made." - John 1:3
"And to make all see the fellowship of the secret, which from the beginning of the ages have been hid in the God, who created all things THRU Yahusha the anointed" - Eph. 3:9
"Has in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, THRU whom he indeed made the ages." - Heb. 1:2
"Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me Yahusha the anointed may show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them that should hereafter believe on him to age-lasting life. YET unto the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, honor and esteem unto the ages of the ages. Amen." - 1 Tim. 1:16-17
The grace of the Master Yahusha with all the set-apart ones.
peace
