As a protestant answering, If you're comparing revelation 3:14 with proverbsProverbs 8:22, we we see wisdom as a creation, that that God possessed and created to use to create the world, yes..., Jesus is the wisdom of God [1 Corin 1:24],
so can we literally conclude that Jesus is a creation, and not God Himself? Well, creations creations HAVE a beginning, but not THE beginning itself. Who is the Creator? The Creator, is the beginning, and doesn't have a beginning Himself. Those 2two compared scriptures can contradict so muchmany more bibleBible verses proving Jesus is God. Revel 22:13 - I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. [said by Jesus] Isaiah 44:6 - Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. [said by God because the capital "the LORD" is actually translated by english people, but the original is YHWH / Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh as a 4 letter [tetragrammaton] as YHVH or it can be JHVH -> Jehovah, this context is from when God revealed Himself in a bush to Moses giving him His personal name. so you can trust it's actually God who said it just to note] Also

Isaiah 44:6 - Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

Also, the "beginning and the end" could also represent eternal, and only God is eternal Psalm 90:2 - Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. So
Psalm 90:2 - Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
So, God was saying that He's the beginning, and the end, the first and the last But But so did Jesus? So So both Jesus and God are equal.
Isa 9:6-7: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. So... no one is God, no man is [except Jesus but during that time]... aA human new bornnewborn baby is going to be called God, and the everlasting father, literally from the line of King David..
howHow is God so passionate preformingabout performing a blasphemous event against Him Himself?? isn'tIsn't that hypocritcal... can'thypocritical? Can't that leave the possibility of God being that human new bornnewborn son Himself? Also... The, the first section of Isa 9 talks about the Messiah!
