To Arians and Jehovah's Witnesses: Does your theology admit that God was at one point ἄλογος?

Question

According to the Watchtower publication Insight,

This Word, or Lo′gos, was God’s only direct creation, the only-begotten son of God, and evidently the close associate of God to whom God was speaking when he said: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.” (Ge 1:26) Hence John continued, saying: “This one was in the beginning with God. All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence.”—Joh 1:2, 3.

The publication states that the λόγος was God's only direct creation, the only-begotten son of God." Furthermore, it also identifies the λόγος as Jesus Christ.

The claim is that God's λόγος, the Word of God (ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ), is a creation (and thus, a creature). If God's λόγος was created, then it did not exist before it was created. The corollary is that God at one point lacked λόγος, or was ἄλογος. The Greek word ἄλογος means "without reason, logic; irrational; illogical."

The Greek letter α (alpha) prefixed to a word signifies absence, opposition, or negation.

For example, the Greek word νόμος (nomos) means "Law." When prefixed with the Greek letter α, it means "without law; lawless."

While the Greek word λόγος is most often translated simply as "word," it also possesses the meaning of "reason" and "logic."

Something which possesses reason, or the ability to reason, is said to be "rational."

Something that lacks reason is said to be "irrational."

The consequence of the argument that God created the λόγος was that God was at one point ἄλογος, or without reason, illogical, or irrational.

How do Arians and/or Jehovah's Witnesses respond when it is said that their God was without reason, irrational, and illogical?

What does this say about God's supposed immutability?

Answer 1

If I'm understanding you correctly, this is your central claim:

If God's λόγος was created, then it did not exist before it was created. The corollary is that God at one point lacked λόγος, or was ἄλογος. The Greek word ἄλογος means "without reason, logic; irrational; illogical."

Yeah. No. It doesn't quite work like that.

God is God. Immutable. Unchangeable. The same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Any wisdom he now has is wisdom he has always had.

The Λόγος is a separate being (better known to us as Jesus, but bearing many other names besides, including Michael). The word is not, in this context, describing a quality of God, or an aspect of his nature. It's a name. Of a person. No doubt it's a meaningful name, and the person so described is wise, but that does not mean that others lack wisdom, discernment, and rationality. Notably, God himself possesses all those qualities. And always has done.

How do Arians and/or Jehovah's Witnesses respond when it is said that their God was without reason, irrational, and illogical?

I dunno. I've never heard it said before. As far as I'm aware, this question is unique to you.

I must say that the concept of or an irrational God becoming rational would be a rather artistically pleasing element to a creation myth, but it does not form part of Witness theology.
