John 1:1 tells us the Word was with God ''in the beginning''. Since God had no ''beginning'' it follows John is explaining that the Word had a beginning. John explains this Word is, not God, but ''the Son of God''.
(John 20:31) But these have been written down so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and because of believing, you may have life by means of his name.
Jesus recorded words agree with this. (John 20:17) Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’”
