These are words put into the mouth of God, not spoken by Him. They are human tradition, like the notion of us being a physical likeness. Human vanity.
Therefore Jesus cannot be a God,neither can the word.
This is not teaching, it is recording the beliefs of the time. People believed in household individual Gods. That does not mean that they actually existed. The whole point of the Bible is to establish the sovereignty of the one God. Baal was believed in but the Bible discredits it. Mentioning it by name does not give it any credence.
There is one God. Do not try and establish anything else, Whether you believe in the Trinity or not, Jesus cannot be a God in His own right, and neither can John be claiming that the word is/was a god either.
