It is more acceptable if we let the Bible interpret itself.
And also let lexicons, translations and commentaries assist for further study.
Agreed. That's what Jehovahs Witnesses do, we we let the Bible interpret itself and we also let lexicons, translations and commentaries assist for further study. We still come to a different interpretation.



JW
Do commentaries assist you?
We differs in interpretation maybe because you have your own exclusive Bible translation.
"The New World Translation of the Bible is Jehovah's Witnesses own translation, no other religious group uses this Bible and Jehovah's Witnesses make very little use of other Bibles." (quote online)
Do you know why nobody else uses the NWT? Because Jehovah's name is used throughout the Scriptures in the places that other versions have put "LORD." Other people don't want to be affiliated with the name of God, so they prefer versions of the Bible that leave it out (when it was in there in the first place!). When someone says "Jehovah," the person they are speaking to immediately connects them to Jehovah's Witnesses. Imagine, because a group of people want to leave God's name where it was supposed to be, originally, and use His name, they are castigated. What's wrong with that picture?

Sorry, I lost to follow this thread, through context, as Jesus himself will be subjected to the Father who put all things in subjection under Jesus, this does not mean that Jesus is not the same state of being God with the Father.
If by "the same state if being " you mean YHWH the Father is a spirit , Jesus is a spirit and angels are spirits Agreed.
