If Jesus isn't God, then He can't be in the equation for salvation.

God tells us in Exodus 20:1-3 And God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me.

If Jesus is not God, you can't put Him in the equation for salvation and say that we have to go to the Father through Jesus, because that would be putting another god before God the Father and breaking the first commandment.

If Jesus is indeed God Incarnate, problem solved. The first commandment remains unbroken.

Very good, and to Christ are ascribed uniquely Divine titles, glory and attributes.

Indeed. I have asked questions to Messianic Jews on the trinity. How they answered me is “ Yeshua is YHWH manifest in the flesh.
