Cool.
Granted, Jesus is a God, but yet, there is one true God. Right?

Okay, fine!

That place, says Of "God" and "Jesus". And that shows that Jesus isn't the true God, but he came to declare the true God we can't see, right?
He isnt the true God yet Isaiah 9:6 was Inspired by His Spirit? Was He lying? Or was it mere flattery?

If there is a saperate true God, that means the title of that true God will be Almighty.
And the one lesser than the only true God, will be mighty.

Is that right?

Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.
Psalm 24:8

The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken,
and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
Psalm 50:1

The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty;
he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy;
he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing

Great, don't forget am not arguing out the fact that Jesus isn't a God. The bible said that. But, what am seeing from the Scripture is that, there is a higher God other than Jesus.
Look at what John 17:3 says: "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Note. Jesus addressed someone as the only true God, later, he mentioned that he was sent by that true God.

bro, pls where did your Bible say He is 'a' God? Mine tells me He is The Mighty God, the Alpha and Omega (Revelations 22:13)

That was spoken after the Word had bben made flesh and took on Him the form of a Servant hence that manner of speaking befits that temporary condescension.

Jesus(peace be upon him) is no more than a messenger of the Almighty God.
Oh, and he was never crucified.

John 17:3 sheds light, bro..

"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
There is one true God.
Notice what apostle Paul said here too:
1 Corinthians 8:6:
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

So, I agree with these that there is just one Almighty God.

Absolutely. Jesus is a lesser God to the one true God. Each man is a lord and God in his own domain, but there is just one true God as stated by Jesus in John 17:3. Even when some referred to him as a Good Rabbi or teacher, he rebuked them and referred to the only true God as the good teacher.

Furthermore, when Jesus got baptized the only true God addressed him as his only begotten son in whom he is well pleased. This shows there is someone higher than Jesus. That is the Almighty God, Jehovah.

Jesus in John 17:3 differentiated the father from other false gods. This does not apply to Jesus because Jesus is not another god but one with the father john10:30.
Again Paul repeated it in I cor 8;5-6
5. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, ( as there be gods many, and lords many.

Readers should note that Paul was referring to gods and lords
The father operates as God but there are other gods many
Jesus operates as Lord but there are other false lords.

6. But to us there is but one God, the father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
Note vs 6 is a continuation of vs 5 and it distinguishes both the father and the son from impersonators.
That does not mean Jesus is not God or the Father is not Lord but these verses are talking of order of operations. Read 1cor 12:4-6

4. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
