If the Word (Jesus prior to the incarnation) WAS God, then He was not a SEPARATE God! It does not say "was another god, was also a god, or was god's offspring created by god...read the textcarefully! He was (and IS) God!
If the Word was WITH god, then the Father and the Word co-existed from the beginning. No spiritual wife, no act of procreation with a spiritual wife, no spirit baby offspring. Stick with the text, Dave.

Ponder this:
The Jesus of the bible is God incarnate...not another or different god. (See John 1:1..."was with God and was God")
DAVEH: Have you ever pondered why Jesus (as God) *was* */with /God, *Perry??? LDS theology understands this literally without making it into a paradoxical mystery.
