I’ll respond to them:

**Isa_43:10 Ye 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.**

“My SERVANT whom I have CHOSEN..”
God was (and still is) IN Christ reconciling the world unto himself.

**Isa_44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.**

Sounds like the LORD of hosts is the REDEEMER of the LORD the king of Israel.......because:

“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost”(which proceeds from the Father)”and with power....God was with him.....Him God raised up......ordained of God to be the Judge..”.

Jesus declared God the Father to be a Spirit (Jn 4:23,24), and that the Father dwells in him, and he in the Father (Jn 14). And that they are so inseparable that they are ‘one’(Jn 10:30). He declares the Father to be “the only true God” (Jn 17:1-3).

The Father dwells in EVERY cell of Christ’s body. How else could he walk right thru a wall?

The protestant affirmative about sola scriptura skips a beat when defining the Godhead, using unscriptural phrases such as “God the Son”, or “God the Holy Spirit”.

Since trinitarians believe the Son to be God, separate and distinct of God the Father, what parts of his body (apart from God the Father dwelling in him) are God.....the mind? the soul? the flesh?

One thing is for certain, if you say the ‘flesh’ is God (apart from the Father dwelling in him), then you are indeed consenting to Mary being the ‘mother of God’, for she had a part in producing what you affirm to be ‘God the flesh’.

God was (and still is) IN Christ reconciling the world unto himself.

Since your assertion is incomprehensible (how does Mormonism imagine a God of flesh and bone dwelling inside someone else?), I'll ignore it and point out that you didn't actually respond to the problem at hand: "Before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me."

Mormonism teaches the opposite, that before the Son was the Father, who has a physical human body, albeit "glorified," and before the Father was another Father. And after these two, you also shall be formed into "gods."

Sounds like the LORD of hosts is the REDEEMER of the LORD the king of Israel.......because:

I'm not sure what you are trying to say unless you are claiming that the Father "redeems" the Son. You and Teppe are biblical illiterates, but I shall help you. The speaker here is in fact Jesus Christ who is declaring that there is no other God beside Him. Compare with Christ's title in Revelation chapters 1 through 3, "I am the First and the Last," "Fear not, I am the first and the last, and finally:

Rev_1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. So back on topic. Christ here in Isaiah is declaring that there is no God beside Him. In fact, Christ even declares elsewhere that He is ignorant of any other God even existing:

"Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any." (Isa 44:8).

This destroys Mormonism, since it teaches that there are an unlimited number of gods in the universe, and plenty are right next to him too, if you include the harem of goddesses.
