God was (and still is) IN Christ reconciling the world unto himself.

Since your assertion is incomprehensible (how does Mormonism imagine a God of flesh and bone dwelling inside someone else?), I'll ignore it and point out that you didn't actually respond to the problem at hand: "Before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me."

Mormonism teaches the opposite, that before the Son was the Father, who has a physical human body, albeit "glorified," and before the Father was another Father. And after these two, you also shall be formed into "gods."

Sounds like the LORD of hosts is the REDEEMER of the LORD the king of Israel.......because:

I'm not sure what you are trying to say unless you are claiming that the Father "redeems" the Son. You and Teppe are biblical illiterates, but I shall help you. The speaker here is in fact Jesus Christ who is declaring that there is no other God beside Him. Compare with Christ's title in Revelation chapters 1 through 3, "I am the First and the Last," "Fear not, I am the first and the last, and finally:

Rev_1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. So back on topic. Christ here in Isaiah is declaring that there is no God beside Him. In fact, Christ even declares elsewhere that He is ignorant of any other God even existing:

"Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any." (Isa 44:8).

This destroys Mormonism, since it teaches that there are an unlimited number of gods in the universe, and plenty are right next to him too, if you include the harem of goddesses.

**I’ll ignore it**

That’s convenient.

As before, you skate right over John 17:1-3, where Jesus Christ speaks of the Father as ‘the one true God’. Again ignoring that Jesus Christ declares that he is IN the Father, and the Father IN him (because the Father is a Spirit. Jn 4:23,24).

EVERY place in the scriptures, such as Isaiah, where the Christ speaks with the authority of the ‘only true God’, it is because the Father is in him, just as he confirms it many places in the gospel of John.

Why would one person of God need to be redeemed by another person of God?

**Rev_1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.**

The Son was GIVEN all power in heaven and in earth. How...because, as the Christ said, the Father is IN him. The Almighty God dwells limitless in Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ dwells IN the limitless God.

**(how does Mormonism imagine a God of flesh and bone dwelling inside someone else?),**

That’s teppe’s problem, if he/she is mormon. Jesus Christ said that God the Father is a Spirit (Jn 4:23,24)

bonus question: Did the Son inherit his name?
