I have participated in parades, and I do wear a fez.

I also worship a singular deity.

So if you argue against Jesus, he will also argue to God not to let you in Heaven! - I wouldn't risk that!
I think He said if anyone denounces Him He will also denounce him to his Father.
If you deniy me before man, I will deny you before the Father....Deny what exactly?...

He is only a mystery if you want Him to be...The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God...Read the Old Testament...Since the Father is Holy so is His Spirit Holy...

Psa 82:8 Rise, O God, judge the earth; for You shall inherit in all the nations.

I've read that Judaic thought was that HaSatan was a metaphor for the wicked desires of the flesh...Also that HaSatan was like a prosecuting attorney...Also that he was the adversary, tester a tool used by Hashem to develop man and test him...

Revelation 1:8 (NIV) - "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."

Jesus revealed these words to John. This is Jesus speaking. Jesus is calling himself "The Almighty" which is what God called himself in OT. God = The Almighty; Jesus = The Almighty.

These two verses of many show that Jesus the Son and God the Father are ONE God, the same God. As this, IMO, refutes several of your points, I believe the rest can be dealt with similarly and therefore show that Jesus is Diety Supreme. Whether others agree or understand this is no reflection upon the truth of the matter -- that Jesus claimed he was God.
the Hebrew word that you are thinking of is Hawyaw and means 'I will exist/be'..Hayaw ashur hawyaw = I will be which I will be...This is not what Yeshua said...He said 'ego eemeh' = 'I am'...Not 'I exist'...
