But you admit that jesus is "Mighty God" correct?
(Philippians 2:6) who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.
Of course you probably don't believe the Apostle Paul who was writing under the inspiration of Jehovah's Holy Spirit.
(2 Peter 1:20, 21) For you know this first, that no prophecy of Scripture springs from any private interpretation. 21 For prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit.

Originally posted by divegeesterThe word god is a title. It means: a being of supernatural powers or attributes, one that is worshipped or followed, a very handsome man, a powerful ruler or despot.
So to be clear, how many "God's" do you have in total?
There have been and are even today many gods.
(1 Corinthians 8:5, 6) For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” 6 there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him.
There is only one Supreme God, our Creator, our Universal Sovereign. That is Jehovah God, the Father of Christ Jesus.
Originally posted by roigamI don't believe she meant that Jesus was His own father. She recognizes the triunity of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The one you call Jehovah appeared to Moses in a burning bush as the angel of the Lord. Was that not an "image" too?
I feel bad for you. You have been deceived. (2 Corinthians 4:4) among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the "image" of God, might not shine through.
For example:
Do you understand that an image of something is not the real thing?
You ...[text shortened]... ?
Then why would you believe that Jesus is Jehovah?
He is an image, a likeness of his Father.
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed... And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
(Exodus 3:2, 4 KJV)
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
(Luke 20:37-38 KJV)
Originally posted by RJHindsIf we were to think of a relationship between Jehovah and Christ Jesus, how would we describe it? Would we say they were brothers, maybe even twins, or if you think Jehovah's Holy Spirit (His powerful active force) is a third person maybe even triplets?

Don't you think our Creator Jehovah God could have thought of that.
He didn't because they are not equal. Jesus is Jehovah's first born Son.
A son is not equal to or a brother of his father.

You claim that Jesus is "Mighty God" and that he is also the angel Michael, right?
Then this Jesus must be as you put it "one that is worshiped", correct?
Furthermore, this Jesus is also an angel so in saying that this "Mighty God" should be worshiped, you are condoning worshipping an angel.
Originally posted by roigamIs Jehovah the name of the angel of the Lord mentioned in Exodus 3 in your opinion? Is Jesus the name of the Word mentioned in John 1 in your opinion?
