Jesus = God

Jehovah's Witnesses say that Jesus is St. Michael the Archangel. The following is a Biblical explanation of Jesus as God.

Let us look into the Bible to see what it says!
[Hebrews 1:5] "For to what angel did God ever say, ‘thou art My Son, today I
have begotten thee?" Or again, 'I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son'?
We can see by this verse that Paul is explaining to the Hebrews that God’s Son, is NOT an angel!
Jesus is the Son of God! [Luke:35] "therefore the child to be born will be called holy , the Son of God."
[Matthew 11:27] "All things have been delivered to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son."
Jesus says in, [John 10:30] "I and the Father are one."
If Jesus was only claiming to be an angel, then why would the Jews try to kill Him?
[Luke 22:70; Matthew 26:64; Mk. 14:61-64], v.(64) "they all condemned him as deserving death."
THE JEWS WANTED to stone Jesus for BLASPHEMY, for making Himself equal to God!
[Jn. 5:18] "This is why the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath but also called God His Father, making Himself equal with God."
[Isaiah 9:6] "For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace."
[Mt. 1:23] "Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and His name shall be called Emmanuel' (which means God with us)." JESUS = GOD!
[Lk. 1:43] "And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"
This is the Holy Spirit speaking through Elizabeth, calling Mary the mother of God! Jesus is God!
[Mt. 2:11] "and going into the house they saw the child with Mary His mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him" [Lk. 4:8] "It is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God."
[Titus 2:13] "awaiting our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ."
[2 Peter 1:1] "to those who have obtained a faith, held in equal privilege with ours, by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ."
[1 Jn. 5:20] "And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, to know Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life."
JESUS AND JEHOVAH HAVE THE SAME TITLES!
Both are called 'Alpha and Omega'.
[Rev. 1:8] "I am the Alpha and Omega says Jehovah God."
{Rev. 22:13] "I am coming quickly, and the reward and the reward I give is with me, to render to each one as his work is. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last,"
Both are called 'Lord of Lords'.
[Deut. 10:17] "For Jehovah your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords."
[Rev. 17:14] "These will battle with the Lamb, but, because He is the Lord of lords and the King of kings, the Lamb will conquer them."
There is more of course but I would like to end with [John 20:28] "Thomas answered Him,
'My Lord and my God!" Jesus did not correct Thomas, when he called him God!
