John 14:9
9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
NIV

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures 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
Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!

Compare Isaiah 33:22 with John 5:22
Speaking of Jehovah, Isaiah says, "For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us."
The New Testament reads, "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son."
Jehovah is the judge
Jesus is the judge
Jesus is Jehovah
However, this does not mean that Jesus is God the Father.

The Almighty appeared to Moses at the burning bush. (Ex. 3:15) He Said His name was YHVH. (the letter "J" did not exist until about 1400 A.D. , so neither the Almighty's name, nor the Savior's name would have a "J" in it) In 1 Cor 10:4 "Paul" is telling us about the Exodus experience, and says that it was the Messiah that they were following. In Gen 32:30 "Jacob" says I have seen the Almighty face to face. Moses talked to the Almighty "face to face" Ex. 33:11. And yet In John 6:46 the Messiah said that no one had seen the Father. I believe that YHVH is like a "family name" which applies to BOTH the heavenly Father, and also the Messiah (whose name MEANS YHVH is my savior-- so His name is Yahoshua.--probably identical to the man who fought the battle of Jerico.)

The Bible teaches us that there is but one God, yet all three Beings: Father Son and Holly Spirit are referred to as God ergo the three in one belief. Something as insignificant as an egg has a shell a yoke and a white three in one, than why is not to be believed that our all powerful God is indeed thee in one?
