Who then is Jesus ?

Isa  9:6		Jesus is Almighty God
Isa  10:21		Jehovah is Almighty God
Matt 1:23		Jesus is God with us
John 1:3		Jesus is the creator
Col  1:16-17		Jesus is the creator

John 17:5		Jesus shares the Father's  Glory
Rev  1:17-18		Jesus is the First and Last
Rev  22:13		Jesus is the First and Last
1 Cor 10:1-4		Jesus is the Rock 
Matt 16:18		Jesus is the Rock

Fil 2:10,11		To Jesus Every knee shall bow
NOTE: The New World Translation used by JWs translates every instance of the word rock in the NT to be rock-mass and this way detract from the force of these verses but this translation is nonsensical. For example :
Matt 16:18	And I say unto thee that thou are Peter and upon this
		ROCK-MASS I will build my church

MAtt 27:51	And the earth did quake and the ROCK-MASSES rent

Matt 27:60	And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn
		out in the ROCK-MASS

Luke 8:6	(parable of the sower) And some fell upon a ROCK-MASS	

Rev 6:15	And the kings of the earth...hid themselves in the dens and
		in the ROCK-MASSES of the mountains; and said to the mountains
		and the ROCK-MASSES, fall on us.

1 Pet 2:7-8	And a stone of stumbling and a ROCK-MASS of offense.

How Many Jehovahs Are There ?

Gen 19:24		Two Jehovas
Zech 2:9-10		Two Jehovas
Gen 1:26		More than One
Gen 3:22		More than One
Gen 11:6-7		More than One

Who are the other Jehovahs ?

Jesus Christ is Jehovah
John 6:46		No man has seen the Father
John 5:37		No man has seen the Father
Gen 18:1,3,13,14	Abraham saw Jehovah
Gen 18:22,32,33		Abraham saw Jehovah
John 8:56-58		Jesus stoned for blasphemy (ie claiming He was Jehovah)

John 8:24	"Unless you believe that I AM (he), you shall die in your sins"
In John 8:58 Jesus says "Verily verily I say unto you before Abraham was I AM" to explain to the Jews that He had actually seen Abraham in Gen 18 and thus making Himself out to be the I AM of the O.T. in short Jehovah. The Jews understood this and so attempted to stone Him.

In an attempt to cover up Jesus' claim the New Kindom translation translates this verse thus "before Abraham was I HAVE BEEN." Now their justification for this mistranslation is that the words I AM which in the Greek are "ego eimi" do not really mean I AM the eternal present but rather I HAVE BEEN. To this claim I only have to submit the following passages which translate "ego eimi" as I AM John 8:12,18,28 and lastly John 8:24 "Unless you believe that I AM (ego eimi), you shall die in your sins"

Jesus' statement in V.24 is very condemning of those who do not believe that Jesus is the I AM. The New World Translation adds the word (he) which is not found in the bible if you have a Greek-English interlinear look it up. Well
