"In the beginning was

Huldah was with

Huldah was
MAN.
HULDAH was in the beginning with
MAN."
Even if you use the NWT of "a god", it would still make
no difference at all.
"In the beginning was HULDAH, and HULDAH was with MAN, and HULDAH was a MAN.
Just as "MAN" can specifically refer to A male by the removal of female, Likewise can God can refer to the Father by excluding the Son. Man can refer to both male and female as a class of being. Example:
Genesis 5:2 "He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man"
so too "God" can include both Father and Son as a class of being, as in John 1:1
John 1:1 - In{en} the beginning{arche} was{en} the Word{logos}, and{kai} the Word{logos} was{en} with{pros} God{theos}, and{kai} the Word{logos} was{en} God{theos}.
Furthermore it is apparent that the "Word" was in the beginning. and that later the "Word" was made flesh (became a human being). Thus John speak of Jesus, and thus He was in the beginning, as God. Is this so hard to understand? Unless one has a pre-existing doctrine that they are trying to support?
God Bless!
