Thanks so much for the responses. I hope posting this type of material is not a problem. In response to some of the statements made such as: "Btw, calling Jesus "Everlasting Father" would hardly be helpful to trinitarian thinking which identifies Jesus to the Son, not the Father. "
Is not correct. In the New Testament, Jesus, who cannot lie, says "I and my Father are one." So to call Jesus the everlasting Father shows that Jesus is Jehovah. I looked over the reference link that you gave and found it to be unclear. If the verse is not referring to Jesus, then who is it referring to? It is referring to God for sure though, because no other being is "the everlasting Father." Also, if it is not Jesus, it is referring to and it is the Father, then what does "Unto us a child is borne, unto us a son is given refer to about the Father?
Isaiah 7:14 ?Therefore the Lord [Jehovah] himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel? (literally, ?God? or ?Jehovah with us,? since Jehovah is the only God) .
Micah 5:2. ?But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.?
Micah 5:2 is referring also to Jesus as in accord with Isaiah 9:6. In this verse it states His "goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting."
If it is referring to Jehovah, then when did Jehovah come forth unto himself to be ruler in Israel?

I have recently been studying some of the theology of the Baptists and comparing it to that of the Watchtower and I have learned some very interesting things. By the way, I am new to this forum and I am not sure if it usually discusses topics such as this, but I will be interested to read everyone's responses. My question is simply:
"Who is God?"
Isaiah 9:6. ?For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.?
This verse is obviously referring to Jesus Christ. If Jesus is not God, then how can Watchtower explain why he is called "The everlasting Father." This is a name only given to Jehovah himself according to Watchtower.
I have a lot of other Scripture that I have been reading that states that Jesus is God. Can someone please explain how Jesus can be "The everlasting Father" and not be God at the same time.
P.S. Please use scripture to support your answers.
