The Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus was saved....

DUH 2 -- wouldn't that conflict with their belief about Adam unable of being saved?

UPDATE: Can you blame me? Your teachings change constantly. Also, are you JWs confused? I asked this question because another JW said Jesus was saved at his baptism. Now y'all are saying he didn't. So which is it? If you say he wasn't saved and didn't need saved, then I agree with you.

Acts 2:36 is one of dozens of Scriptures which plainly show that Jesus is lesser than (and subject to) Almighty Jehovah God the Father. Obviously, Jesus had to be resurrected (saved) by someone greater than himself (Jehovah God), and it follows that all of the authority which Jesus received was delegated to him by the same Almighty Jehovah (God the Father).
(Acts 2:36) God made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you impaled.
Here are a few Scriptures which show that Almighty Jehovah is the source of the authority that has been given to Jesus Christ.
(Matthew 28:18) And [the resurrected] Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been GIVEN me in heaven and on the earth.
(John 3:35) The Father loves the Son and has GIVEN all things into his hand.
(Acts 5:31) GOD EXALTED this one as Chief Agent and Savior
(Daniel 7:14) And to him there WERE GIVEN rulership and dignity and kingdom
(Matthew 11:27) All things HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO ME by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son but the Father, neither does anyone fully know the Father but the Son and anyone to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.
(Philippians 2:9) For this very reason also GOD EXALTED HIM to a superior position
(1 Peter 3:22) [Jesus] went his way to heaven; and angels and authorities and powers WERE MADE SUBJECT to him.
(1 Corinthians 15:25) For [Jesus] must rule as king until GOD HAS PUT all enemies under his feet.
(Psalm 110:1) The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord [Jesus] is: “Sit... Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”
Incidentally, where is Jesus' exhalted position? It is NOT replacing Jehovah God, because Jesus remains humbly at Jehovah's right hand.
(Psalm 110:1) The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”
(Ephesians 1:19-20) the mightiness of [God's] strength, with which he has operated in the case of the Christ when he raised him up from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places
(Acts 7:55,56) [Stephen], being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand, and he said: “Look! I behold the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand.”
(Matthew 26:64) Jesus said to him: “...From henceforth you will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power
(Romans 8:34) Christ Jesus is the one who died, yes, rather the one who was raised up from the dead, who is on the right hand of God
(Colossians 3:1) Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
(Hebrews 1:3) [Jesus] sat down on the right hand of the Majesty in lofty places.
(Hebrews 8:1) Now as to the things being discussed this is the main point: We have such a high priest as this, and he has sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
(Hebrews 10:12) But this man [Jesus] offered one sacrifice for sins perpetually and sat down at the right hand of God,
(Hebrews 12:2) Look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus. ...he endured a torture stake, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(1 Peter 3:22) He [Jesus] is at God’s right hand, for he went his way to heaven

DUH2 is not a JW. He may be church of Yahweh or something.
Jesus committed no sins. That is why he could die for our sins. He could replace Adam as he stayed perfect. 1 Cor. 15:45, 1 Peter 1:19, 20, 2:21, 22.
However, we all do have to obey God. Jesus had never lived as human before so he had to learn obedience as a human. Hebrews 5:8, 9. Once he completed that, he had proved himself righteous both as a heavenly son of God (as did the 2/3 who stayed faithful) and as a perfect sinless man.
Then he was exalted over the angels and given immortality which they do not get. 1 Timothy 6:16, Hebrews 1:4.

YOU AGAIN! DO YOU HAVE A JOB? OH I'M SORRY THIS MUST BE YOUR JOB
MAKING YOUR SELF LOOK BAD. WELL LET ME BE THE FIRST TO AWARD YOU, BECAUSE YOU HAVE DONE JUST THAT WITH EACH QUESTION THAT YOU ASK.
This question is no different than all the others that you have ask they make no sense and they are far from the truth.
Jehovah's Witnesses can not answer a question that has no truth, but we can give you the truth about Jesus.
Ransom: a price paid to buy back or o bring about release from some obligation or undesirable circumstance. the most significant ransom price is that of the shed blood of Jesus Christ. by paying over the value of that ransom in heaven , Jesus opened the way for Adam's offspring to be delivered from the sin and death that we all inherit because of the sin of our forefather Adam.
Jesus was a perfect human. He was born without any blemish of sin and he maintained that perfection throughout his life.
1Pet. 2:22; Heb. 7:26
Why was it necessary for the ransom to be provided in the manner that it was in order for us to have eternal life?
Rom. 5:12 "Through one man [Adam] si nentered into the world and death thorugh sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned."
Rom. 6:23 "The wages sin pays is death."
Ps. 49:6-9: "Those who are trusting in their means of maintenance, and who keep boasting about the abundance of their riches, not one of them can by any means redeem even a brother, nor give to God a ransom for him; (and the redemption price of their soul is so precious that it has ceased to time indefinite) that he should still live forever and not see the pit."
No imperfect human can the means to deliver someone else from sin and death. His money cnnot buy eternal life, and his soul laid down in death, being the wages that are to come to him anyway becasue of sin, has no value toward delivering anyone.
It is for this reason that Jesus had to give his life for us.
Adam was perfect so it had to be and even exchange one perfect life for one perfect life.

No he did not need to be saved from sin.
However, Jesus did have to born again with water and spirit to be able to enter in the kingdom. Being born in the flesh as the earthly Son of Jehovah did not entitle Jesus to enter into the kingdom of heaven as a spirit.
Even though perfect, like the original son of God, Adam, Jesus was still just a human – or as Jesus himself worded it: “what has been born from flesh is flesh.” That is why it was necessary for Christ to be born again in the spirit, so that after his death in the flesh he might be made alive as a spirit.
Jesus once explained to a curious Pharisee named Nicodemus what it meant to be born again, when he told him: “Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born from water and spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. What has been born from the flesh is flesh, and what has been born from the spirit is spirit.”

Jesus doesn't need to be saved from sin. He is sinless. What Jesus needs to be saved is from death.
Jesus needs God to save him
Heb 5:7 states “In the days of his flesh [Christ] offered up supplications and also petitions to the One who was able to SAVE him out of death, with strong outcries and tears, and he was favorably heard for his godly fear.”
Jesus need that One (God) to SAVE him OUT OF DEATH. This “ONE” cannot be Jesus himself nor part of him, otherwise you are making Jesus a crazy person because he cried, with STRONG OUTCRIES and TEARS.

Jesus Christ was a perfect man.He didnt need saving.He came to earth to save mankind by providing them with a ransom that would free them from enslavement to sin and death.(Rom.5:12;John3:16)
His baptism was a public demonstration of his acceptance of the doing of his Father's will.

That's true Jesus learned obedience.
He was sent to earth to teach us how to worship.
He didn't need baptism for the repentance of sins , for he had never sinned, yet he showed us that without baptism you cannot please God well.
He didn't need a savior except to show us all that we are dependent on Jehovah for everything.
Yet he humbled himself to humiliation and torture and death to show his need for his father.
