"Jesus was always God.

"Isa 43 Jehovah was the only God formed"

First lets qualify, Jehovah is Father God.

God was not "formed." He has existed forever.

In traditional mainstream Christianity, Jehovah always refers to God the Father.

Jehovah is not a name for Jesus as LDSers are wont to exclaim. (!)

So because Jesus was always God, that explains the 'we' in the following passage of scripture. I have added the portion in the [ ]:

Genesis 26: And God said, Let us [God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, God the Son, Jesus] make man in our [God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, God the Son, Jesus] image, after our [God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, God the Son, Jesus] likeness:... 27: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him
It has been said that you can find Jesus in every page of the OT.

I appreciate your understanding for many in my youth held to that belief that Jehovah was God the Father which was universal.

Now that more understanding has come into the earth many realized Jehovah is the Son YAWA etc.

To the LDS Elohim is the Father.

This Isa 43 Jehovah was the only God formed" I paraphased it that way because the verse states none before, and none afterward,

These verses are all taken from the Blue Bible gateway.

KJV

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.

NIV

Isa 43:10 "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 no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.

NASB

Isa 43:10 "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.
