Who is Jesus Christ? Is He the same entity as Jehovah? Is Jesus the Almighty GOD? Or is He just a human like any of us, but specifically chosen by GOD for Salvation purposes? Can we worship Jesus Christ without being at the risk of idolatry?

I just noticed this post for the first time. Funny thing I see no comments.
It's clear people have no idea who Jesus is. They worship a God they do not know.
Nigerian Christian are only interested in dancing and twer king in church.
Now to your question..
Jesus christ is the great Jehovah of the old testement.
Exodus 6.3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them.
Christ explains that he acted in the name of his father (God Almighty ) but his own name is Jehovah.
Because Jesus was representing his father, he often came in his father's name and not in his name.
John5.43-47 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
This further shows that Moses testified about Jesus. Verse 43 remains us that he came in his father's name. So many Christians thinks it was the Almighty relating to Moses when it was actually Jehovah(Jesus Christ)
Also in John 8.58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Remember 'I am' in the old testement? Exodus 3.14-15 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.
15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
Jesus was the same that related to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He told Moses his name was I Am. In the new testement he reminded the people that he is I Am.
So basically the name Jehovah belongs to Jesus Christ. He is the God of the old and new testement.

Your example just buttressed my point. Jehovah was representing his Almighty Father.
I was thinking you would prove me wrong using the bible. Instead u some Mtn example that further proves my point.
The average Nigerian Christian does not know the scripture only believes in what his pastor says.
If u need more scriptures to learn more about the topic, let me know

john 5:43 I have come in my Father's name is the same as the Assistant who comes to the Forum in the name of the CEO of MTN but you twisted it because you can't understand what the scriptures says.
The Assistant is a messenger cum representative of his CEO ,carrying out the 'will' of his CEO(John 5:26,27,30 ,36 ,37. emphasis on v30 and v37). John 6:46.
Jesus represented Jehovah ,as messenger for his God and Father ( John 20:17. Acts3:13)
** Are you the messenger that you have sent?

#@ John 8:58 Greek ego eimi meaning "I exist" IS NOT in accord with Exodus 3:14 because Hebrew language has no present tense .
The Jews understood Exodus3:14 as "I will be that /which i will be" .

Christendom must twist the holy Bible to promote Trinity scam

Jesus is just a character in a roman story book.. Created at the council of Nicea. To insult the creator of the universe and deceive people...

God is...

Good of you to finally quote the bible but honestly I stI'll don't get your line of argument. We both agree that Jesus represented his father. The argument is who is Jehovah?
I quoted exodus 6.3And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them.
So no need to twist let's follow the text plainly.
Who was speaking in this verse? Ans, it was Jehovah. He was speaking to Moses. What was he telling Moses? He was telling Moses that he repented the father but his own name is Jehovah.
Now I don't understand your Greek and Hebrew explanation so I won't talk about that scripture... let us check out other scriptures to prove all along in the old testement, it was Jesus Christ speaking..
Who created the world? Isaiah45.11-12.. john1.1,3.. Jesus christ was thar same Lord God or Jehovah of the old testement.
Jehovah is the saviour Hosea13.4...luke2.11..
Isaiah 43.14 calls his the redeemer the very same and only redeemer galatians3.13
It is clear that all the prophets in the old testement testified of Jesus Christ. They knew him. He related to them and he revealed his name to them. His name is Jehovah.
In Hosea13.14, he promised to redeem men from death same as in 1 corinthians 15.20-22. Again showing that Jesus is the God of the old testement.
In Zachariah 12.10 Jehovah prophecies he would be pierced. It came to pass in John 19.34-37
In case you don't know it was Jesus Christ that guided Israel through the wilderness and red Sea Exodus 13.20-22 same as in 1 corinthians 10.1-4
All through the old testement, Christ was present. He was the God the children of Israel related with. He is the Alpha and Omega. Revelation 1.8,11.. He has always been there representing the Father.
Now I have quoted all these to show that it was indeed Jesus spoken of in the old testement.
Now you were wrong in saying..
Jesus represented Jehovah ,as messenger for his God and Father ( John 20:17. Acts3:13)
** Are you the messenger that you have sent? Jesus is Jehovah he represented his father. His father's name is not Jehovah. Remember that scripture in Exodus aND let it guild you.Exodus 6.3And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them. It's so plain to understand but by my name Jehovah was I not known... his own name is Jehovah. But because he was representing the Father, he came in the name of the father.

Exodus 3.14 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.
Now if you read this to the end you would see that your explanation is not right.
"Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.
I Am in this case is used as a noun. As a name not in tense form. Also is you read previous verses
Exodus 3.13And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
Moses wanted to know his name. "What is is name?
The answer was a noun... I Am. Simple no twist.
