Sorry to inform you, but you are NOT saved if you don't confess and believe that Jesus Christ IS LORD.
Whenever we fail to grasp essential truths like Jesus IS God, the Pharisees of all people bail us out.
John 8:58
New King James Version
58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
The Pharisees were so outraged that He called Himself God, they wanted to kill them right there.
John 8:59
New King James Version
59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going[a] through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Funny how you didn’t bother addressing Jesus Himself saying He is the I AM. And the Pharisees reaction to that.

Even funnier is how you fail to address Christ referring to Jehovah as His Father, how not even the Son but only the Father knows the dates regarding end times. Also how He will sit at the right hand of the Father, until the Father gives all to Him. Nobody is denying Christ is deity. That is clear. Even in John 8: 58 it is your confirmation bias that makes you think He called Himself the Great I Am. Directly translated He said, “Truly, truly I tell you, before Abraham was born, I exist (am).” The word that better defines the name given to Moses is more often translated “become”. I Am that I Am is He is what He is, Seft-Existent. Son by definition is brought forth from another. If He is what He is and He is the Father and the Son then by definition, you might be correct. As for Jehovah returning at the end of the age for His Bride and to rule then you would be incorrect. That would be Christ, Son of the Self-Existent, God of elohim (theos; devine beings; beings from the heavens; gods).
That is without preconception what is written. What it may mean is up for debate. The Bible doesn’t even say the Pharisees thought He called Himself God. That is what preachers taught. He definitely called Himself devine.

That was a different time. I think anyone trying to prove Christ is Jehovah and not the Son of Jehovah, would steer clear of that conversation of John 10. Do you lean to the side that Christ was wrong, and that Jehovah wasn’t His Father? Does it make sense that Jehovah lied to people saying He was a Son of God instead of the Self Existent God of gods Himself?
This is one of those lame JW arguments. Of course Jesus addressed the Father as "Father". But the Father addressed the Son as "God" -- not once but twice, so that people like you would not have a leg to stand on. As for not knowing the day nor the hour, that was prior to the resurrection of Christ. After His resurrection ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY has been given to Him by the Father.
What do you mean to say a different time? It was while Jesus was walking this world two thousand years ago, prior to His crucifixion, which the Jewish leaders sought due to their belief that Jesus was a blasphemer. At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.…Matthew 26:65-66a That was during Jesus' trial before He was crucified. Jesus was both the Son of Man and the Son of God but He predated His incarnation, in fact, all things were created by Him and for Him, and we were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world. That is in no way leaning toward saying Christ was wrong. He spoke in a way the Jewish people understood which you reject.
Teach me. What other evidence in all of Scripture do we read that you are both with that person and are that person? Who refers to themselves as their father? Which father says they are pleased with themselves as their son? I’m not sure why everyone seems to take issue with reading Scripture as it is written. To tell the Greeks that Christ is the Logos following the Stoic movement is saying something that most wouldn’t understand because they never studied Stoicism. To call Christ devine is accurate. That’s what theos means, devine. Magenta is your name but everything magenta is not you. I think there is more evidence that Yahweh and Yeshua are both devine with Yahweh being Self Existent. Why does Yeshua being His Son make Him less a Saviour?

devine
ADJECTIVE, NOUN, VERB
a frequent misspelling of divine.
Eh? Why does being called the Son of God make Him less than what Scripture proclaims in the 1st ch. of John?
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.

Who is not reading Scripture as it is written? You? You have denied what is explicitly written.
