Jesus is God - is Jesus the bridegroom?

Some relevant NT passages snipped from the blog post

Jesus referred to Himself as the bridegroom when He talked about why His disciples didn’t fast (Mark 2:18 – 20). Likewise, John, the Baptist, presented himself as the bridegroom’s friend and declared that the bride belongs to the bridegroom (John 3:29). The bride of Christ or the church consists of the entire body of believers throughout the ages, all who have received salvation by grace through faith. The New Jerusalem is also referred to as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband and alludes to Christ as the bridegroom (Revelation 21:2, 9 – 10).

Some relevant OT passages

For your Maker is your husband—
the Lord Almighty is his name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.

I think the union between man and God that was restablished in Jesus is quite clear. When we put our faith in Jesus we are accepting that what Jesus did has united God and man. It took God to unite what man tore apart.

So, Jesus is God or is Jesus some rando that calls himself the bridegroom?

..Wootah is correct and Jesus is God.

Wootah is incorrect and Jesus is not God.

Then can you cite a Bible verse that says "Jesus is not God"

JOHN 10:35

And verse 36.

I've never seen JW so unwilling to explain. I think we have got him.

Not hardly. You are not seeing any JW here "unwilling to explain," either. We JWs have thoroughly explained everything we say. No one can reasonably say that we don't explain.

No, you are the one that brought up the idea that JWs don't explain anything, so YOU show examples of that, to prove your point.

The topic is clear, the creator is the bridegroom.

For your Maker is your husband—
the Lord Almighty is his name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.

Jehovah stopped being Israel's husband when they killed His Son. So the "bridegroom" doesn't apply to Him.

What Bible verse are you using? Where are you getting that idea from?

The verses has Jesus himself identify who he is, namely God's son. Obviously if he is God's son, he cannot be Almighty God.
