This is to my friend, Onewithhim, and all my other fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord.
When we use the word 'God,' 'Jehovah,' for either the Father, or Son, what exactly are you talking about other than the name Jehovah? Let’s discuss Jesus as Jehovah. Does the Bible support this teaching?
When we speak of Jesus as God, we're referring to attributes that only God can possess, attributes that will reveal His full deity. These attributes are drawn from Scripture and two thousand years of theological teaching. Here's my breakdown of the divine attributes most commonly associated with both the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
For this subject, we can use either the King James Bible or the NIV, the two most widely used Bibles in use today. The following are attributes we would expect only God (Yahuwah) to possess.
God is eternal. Jesus is said to be eternal: He existed before time began. John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word…”
Hebrews 1:10, The Father is speaking of his Son: “Thou LORD (Jesus), in the beginning has laid the foundation of the earth;”
God is Immutability: Jesus is unchanging.
Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.”
Hebrews 13:12, The Father speaking of his Son: “But thou (Jesus) art the same, and thy years shall not fail.”
God is omnipotent: He has all power.
Jesus is omnipotent: Matthew 28:18, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”
God is omniscient: He knows all things, including the hearts of people. John 2:24–25, “Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men. And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.”
Revelation 2:23, “I (Jesus) am he which searches the reins and hearts:”
God is omnipresent: Jesus is present everywhere.
Matthew 28:20, “I am with you always, to the end of the world; Amen’.” For all time, and all believers.
God is self-existent: Not created but exists by His own nature
John 5:26, “For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;”
God’s Holiness: Jesus is completely pure and set apart.
Hebrews 7:26, “For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and higher than the heavens.”
God is Truth: Jesus is the embodiment of truth.
John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life”
God is Love: The Lord’s sacrificial death is the ultimate expression of divine love.
1 John 3:16, “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he (Jesus) laid down his life for us:”
God is Justice: Jesus will judge righteously and fairly.
Acts 17:31, “He (the Father) has appointed a day in which he (Jesus) will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained.”
All the above attributes affirm that Jesus is not merely a prophet or moral teacher, but fully divine; he is God incarnate. These attributes can only be manifest in God.
1 Timothy 3:16, K.J.B. (Jesus) is God manifest (come) in the flesh.”
What makes Christ Jesus unique is, He is also fully human. Therefore, alongside his divine attributes, He also displayed:
Compassion
Humility
Servanthood
Patience
Forgiveness
Jesus attributes

God is omnipotent: He has all power.
Jesus is omnipotent: Matthew 28:18, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”
For, "He put all things in subjection under his feet." But when he says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that he is ex-cepted who subjected all things to him. When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
1 Cor. 15:27-28
By what Jesus says, he didn't know all things:
But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only....
Matt. 24:36-44

Matt. 24:36-44
All we mortals need to be concerned with is the creation itself. What we do not have to be concerned with is the intimate relationship Jesus has with his Father. I do understand Jesus was sent to begin the creation from eternity by his Father. Do I fully understand this mystery? No! and no one else can explain it.
We understand the creation consists of the earth, everything in it, and the two heavens:
Heaven one, our atmosphere,
Heaven 2. The observable stars, Milky Way, black holes, gravity, solar systems, and the billions and billions of stars.
What we do not have to be concerned with is the third heaven, the heaven that existed before the physical creation. The third heaven, I suppose, is eternal, a place where the Father rules from his throne, and from where he sent his Son and His Holy Spirit to begin the physical create, both the visible and invisible things, things like atoms, molecules, and other building blocks that are needed to create that which is visible.
Now because Jesus created the visible and invisible heavens and earth, even though, as you theorize, the Father did it through him, Jesus is the Architect of all that exists. This makes the Son God, Jehovah because Genesis 1;1 Jehovah created. Is Jesus the Father? No, of course not. Did the Father give his Son all power over his creation? Yes, Matthew 28:18. Did the Father give his Son a bride? Yes, the Sons and daughters of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and his 12 Sons, they are called Jews.
Did Jesus' bride cheat on him by worshipping other gods? Yes, they did. Did Jesus give them a bill of divorcement? Yes, he did. Did the Father, hundreds of years later, send his Son back to purchase his bride back, by giving his life? Yes, he did. Did the Father appoint his Son as Judge of the earth? Yes, he did. After Jesus' enemies are defeated, has the Father given his Son authority to establish his Kingdom, and and also given his Son the authority to sit as King of Kings? Yes, he did.
My conclusion: Jesus is our God to the glory of his Father, who rules in the third heaven. The third heaven is where Jesus went to prepare a house for his bride. That is where the bride will be taken in the catching away of the church, 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.
Now this is an overview of the relationship the Son has with his Father, and what the Father has decreed concerning his Son.
