You have a huge problem. And that is Jesus claimed to be "I AM" it doesn't get any higher than that! The reference in those times was specific to the ONE God of the Jews...There is no way around it. If someone claimed to be "I AM" they claimed to be the ONE, the ONLY GOD, and there was no other. The jews didn't pick up stones to stone him because he claimed to be the "Son of God," it was because he claimed to be GOD...Go look at some Jewish history of those times.
Your theology and your historical veiw are not in sync. You just can not say Jesus was Jehova and God was someone else because it does not jive with the Jews historical context of God in the old testement. Not even the Jews would say when God spoke to Moses, "it was really the messiah." It doesn't make sense spiritually or logically as a whole when you take into account all the history.
John 5:17-19
Who is Jesus' Father?
Jesus claimed God was His Father. The Jews interpreted that as saying that Jesus said He was equal to God.
Jesus didn't say that. The Jews did.
So you are actually believing what the Jews thought of Jesus.
Again, see John 14:28
