You're not clear on what your point is. Please explain.
My point is based on the commentary of an open minded Jew Dr. Stern whom I quoted as
even the Jewish NT Commentary believe that Jesus the Messiah is YHWH. Meaning God.
But you rebut it, using the stand of many closed minded Jews that never accepts Jesus as the Messiah.
Philippians 2:9-11
God has given him the name, that is, the character and authority, above every name (v. 9). In vv. 10-11 Sha’ul reveals the extraordinary fact that this name above every name is Adonai! He states, moreover, that the day is coming when every tongue will acknowledge it—angelic (in heaven), human (on earth) and demonic (under the earth).
Yeshua the Messiah is Adonai (Greek kurios). As explained at Mt 1:20 N, the Greek word “kurios” can mean anything from the tetragrammaton (YHVH, “Jehovah,” the personal name of God, rendered “Adonai” in the Jewish New Testament) to “Lord” (in the sense of God as universal ruler) to “lord” (in the human sense) to merely “sir” (a respectful form of address). Because Isaiah 45:23, which in its own context applies to YHVH, is quoted in v. 10 in reference to Yeshua, I believe this verse teaches that Yeshua the Messiah is YHVH and not only “Lord” in a lesser sense.
