Jesus is the God of the Old Testament, the Great Jehovah

I’m puzzled. Do we really have that many Arian heretics on FR that you need a caucus notice on this thread? The divinity of Christ has been an uncontroversial issue among Christians since sometime in the fifth century (okay, the Lombard court only abandoned Arianism in the sixth century and some Lombards held on to the heresy a bit longer — I’ve heard claims as late as the 12th century — but everywhere else...)

If you want to point to Scriptural evidence of Jesus’ divinity, you’re missing the place where he says “Before Abraham was I AM”. The Jews understood what he meant, whether He spoke Greek or Aramaic or Hebrew, He claimed the name God gave to Moses, either translated or in Hebrew, as His own, which is why they tried to stone Him at that point.

“Scriptural evidence of the divinity of Christ...”

I believe that it would be more correct to say that the passages are evidence of the early disciples belief in the divinity of Christ. Writings of persons who believed that Jesus was/is God is not evidence of actual divinity.

Your beliefs may not go far enough since Christ instituted the Sacraments too.

Does your church have any of those Sacraments? I doubt it.

No antagonism, but did you mean Deity?

Is this somehow supposed to be a new revelation?
