Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures alone quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him

There is only one GOD and the bible makes this perfectly clear in many passages. The old testament which the Jews use is reproved by the new testament.
What we call God is not as important as to knowing that the Savior came and he made a way for us to get to heaven. JOHN 3:5-8
God is a triune being, three parts- father-son-holy spirit, he always was and always will be and will remain the same.
Allah, on the other hand is not only a false god but Satin himself those that worship him are worshiping the fallen angel who was known as Lucifer, who wants to be worshiped as god. Mohammad channeled the spirit of satin, who gave him the Koran, it is an evil book.
The Jewish people missed Jesus because they were looking for a king here on earth, and they were into the rituals of the temple. But that's the way God meant it to be, otherwise only the Jewish people could get to heaven. So thank the Jewish people for rejecting Jesus.

Actually, the God of the Jews is the same as the God of Christendom. The difference is Jews don't believe Jesus Christ was the Messiah ("promised one"). The Jewish holy writings of the Torah and the writings of the Jewish historian Josephus recount the life of Jesus and the miracles He performed, but the Jews believe Jesus was a prophet. They're still waiting for the Messiah.

In Christianity, Yeshua (Jesus) is part of the Trinity which includes the Father (Jewish Yahweh) and also the Holy Spirit.

Technically, they are the same. Christians though added a little thing called the Trinity to get around the "You shall have no other gods besides me" This allows them to worship Jesus and the Holy Spirit as God as well.

NO! Iesous is the correct name for Jesus if you want to get technical. The second is Christos meaning messiah. Yahweh is the God of Judaism. Which is also the God of the Levites. Which is also the Father of Jesus Christ.

Jesus was a Jew... and Jesus is the messiah for Christians.. that said it means that Jehovah/Yeshua are one and the same..
If your logic in your commentary suggests you think that Christianity is a false religion you must think that about Jewish People too ...
That's just sad.. I pity you

The God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob is Jehovah. Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Son of God, Who is God. And the Holy Ghost is the Third Person of the Godhead. So Yes He is One and the same.

Yes. Daniel's God was declared the God of the Kingdom. Same God when God got a Divine body.

They are all equally non-existent, so it doesn't matter.
But, according to the doctrine invented by the Roman Empire in the 4th Century, Jesus is God.
And, he is not the same person that Jews worship as God.
