It says he was WITH God~
John1:1- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2- The same was in the beginning with God.
God called Moses, the Angels, and the Judges of Israel "God"- so what do you think He meant when He applied it to Jesus?

He said in prayer (to someone other than HIMSELF)~
"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." - John 17:3

You need to read the Bible. God uses what is already in the hearts of people to accomplish his purposes. He often used it to lead to their destruction. What God did with Moses led Pharaoh to see Moses as a God instead of crediting the true God for Moses accomplished.

Are you familiar with the Geneva Bible?

”In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God. This same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made. In it was life, and that life was the light of men. And that light shineth in the wilderness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not.”

They were all God’s agents / representatives.

He said in prayer (to someone other than HIMSELF)~
"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." - John 17:3

His prayer is directed to his God and Father.

1.The one God. (a) theos is the most frequent designation of God in the NT. Belief in the one, only, and unique God (Matt. 23:9; Rom. 3:30; 1 Cor. 8:4,6; Gal. 3:20; 1 Tim. 2:5; Jas. 2:19) is an established part of Christian tradition. Jesus himself made the fundamental confession of Jud. his own and expressly quoted the Shema (Deut. 6:4-5; see Mk. 12:29-30; cf. Matt. 22:37; Lk. 10:27). This guaranteed continuity between the old and the new covenants. The God whom Christians worship is the God of the fathers (Acts 3:13; 5:30; 22:14), the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Acts 3:13; 7:32; cf. Matt. 22:32; Mk. 12:26; Lk. 20:37), the God of Israel (Matt. 15:31; Lk. 1:68; Acts 13:17), and the God of Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 1:3; Eph. 1:3; 1 Pet. 1:3).”
