This side of life or universe everything is created, so no I don’t agree with you, this side of the universe Jesus is the highest of all creation, not the second
If by this you mean heaven, again, I disagree with you, there are many scripture verses attributed to the Father that are also attributed to Jesus

Thanks, Ppm for pointing out my mistake. Jesus became the highest in the universe when he entered it on becoming a human. Jehovah cannot be contained by the physical universe.

(1 Kings 8:27) “But will God really dwell on the earth? Look! The heavens, yes, the heaven of the heavens, cannot contain you; how much less, then, this house that I have built!

Jehovah measures the physical heavens as easily as a man would measure an object by spreading his fingers so that the object lies between the tips of the thumb and the little finger.

(Isaiah 40:12) Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand And taken the measurements of the heavens with a span of his hand?

Solomon’s statement does not mean that God has no specific place of residence. Nor does it mean that he is omnipresent in the sense of being literally everywhere and in everything.

(1 Kings 8:30) And listen to your servant’s request for favor and to the request by your people Israel that they pray toward this place, and may you hear from your dwelling place in the heavens; yes, may you hear and forgive.
(1 Kings 8:39) then may you hear from the heavens, your dwelling place, and may you forgive and take action; and reward each one according to all his ways, for you know his heart (you alone truly know every human heart),

The same original-language words used for the physical heavens are also applied to the spiritual heavens in which Jehovah resides.

While there are things attributed to Jehovah that are also attributed to Jesus , this is no reason to conclude they are the same person.
There are many differences. Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting. Jesus was the first of God's creations. He is not God. He is God's Son.

(Matthew 16:16) Simon Peter answered: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

No problem Mrg, I do mistakes everyday, it's part of being human, I've changed my thinking many times along the way, I used to be somewhat like wotsup, but I think I have matured in my old age and just want a simple faith as I realised debating is only a distraction from spiritual life and growth.
