On John 1, please see
http://bibleq.info/answer/463/.

On Acts 20, I think what it actually means is “the blood of his own”, and is the blood of his own son (e.g. Jesus). See for example RSV and NET. The NET has the following comments in its translation notes:

Or “with his own blood”; Grk “with the blood of his own.” The genitive construction could be taken in two ways:
(1) as an attributive genitive (second attributive position) meaning “his own blood”; or
(2) as a possessive genitive, “with the blood of his own.”
In this case the referent is the Son, and the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

I would have no issue with the statement “Jesus is God manifested”, depending on what you mean by it. Jesus was clearly sent to show God to the world, and he did that by choosing to act exactly like God in every situation he was faced with. However, that does not mean that he was God. Even your hierarchy presented above casts a few doubts on the idea of the three being equal.

You are making the assumption that titles can be used as uniquely identifying names. If a title applies to God, he can also apply it to anyone who is doing his work for him, including Jesus.

John 1:1,14): “The word was God” and “The word became FLESH”

Acts 20:28: “Be shephards of the church of God, which he bought with his OWN blood”

You can’t be serious Rob. There is only one God. No one else can truly have the name except God himself.

Who is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last?? Only God himself.

So by Jesus saying this he is not declaring himself as just a prophet, but God.

The Father is GOD, The Son is God, The Holy Spirit is God.

GOD is the trinity, The FATHER is the head of the Trinity followed by the son and then holy spirit.

Make no mistake, the father is the head of it but Jesus is God manifested

This thread reeks of Jehovah’s Witness or should I say, Watchtower doctrines. As a former member of this cult, I discovered the Watchtower is simply a business masquerading as a religion. I have come to accept Jesus IS GOD. Just like doubting Thomas, I too had my doubts until i began reading the Bible alone which is a big No-No in the Jehovah’s Witness cult. This satanic philosophy was started by Charles Taze Russell in that he said that “reading the bible alone would lead to spiritual darkness, but reading his spin off books “Studies in the scriptures” would lead one to biblical light. So much for The Holy Spirit revealing the Truth of God huh? I thank God I’m free from the clutches of these false prophet heretics and look forward to the day when I too can bow down and worship Jesus Himself and say, “My Lord and my GOD!” AMEN. John20:28, John1:3.

When you research widely the Bible, you will see that the Bible teaches about one God, which is in the Father, the Lord Jesus, and in the Holy Spirit. God doesn’t say in His word that He is Trinity, but one in the Father, the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit. God is one, but Jesus is not the Father.

If you want to find out the truth that what the Bible teaches for the Lord Jesus, so you must research in prayer by the Holy Spirit all passages that show who Jesus is. These all passages are in harmony and consistently describe that who the Lord Jesus is. All passages are in the same line and do not conflict one another.

Heretic or wrong doctrine about the Lord Jesus arises thus that a man believes only certain verses, which support his opinion, but he continually passes over verses, which don’t support his opinion. For this reason, he doesn’t see the whole truth, but remain astray. When you want and have courage to research position of the Lord Jesus with all passages, so you will find consistent teaching that who Jesus is. You will see that Jesus is God and in the same the Son of God, but not the Father. Test my teaching by the word of God, because all teaching must be tested that we could find the truth.
We live near the coming of the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus said that before His coming comes many false prophets deceiving by false doctrines and deceitful signs and wonders. In this teaching I handle heresy, which teach that Jesus is the Father. This topic is very important, because Jesus only doctrine (Jesus is the Father) is a very great danger to get lost from the faith.

It is true that Jesus and God are now in heaven. However, that does not mean that the kingdom of heaven will be in heaven. From the time of Abraham on, God’s promises have been about the earth, but they have been about an earth made new and following the will of God.

When John the Babtist saw the spirt descend upon Jesus like a dove and a voice from heaven proclaim “this is my Son in whom I am well pleased”, pretty much confrims that Jesus is not the Father. Unless he is a master ventriloquist they are two. He tells his disciples that the Father is in him and he is in his disciples, this doesn’t mean they are all one being. How can God be seated at the right hand of himself? In Exodus God tells Moses he will make him “like God”, to Pharoah. Snce the Father has given authority to the Son I’m sure he did seem like God in every aspect yet they knew the difference. Saint Paul say, “the head of woman is man, the head of man is Christ, and the head of Christ is the Father. They understood the difference. The concept of the Trinity wasn’t even established untill between 300 and 400 AD by the Church. After the jugment is completed it says in Revelations that Jesus will give all authority back to the Father, we will see both Jesus and the Father when we finally meet in Heaven but untill then we know that the only way to the Father is through the Son. As long as we agree on that, we are headed on the right path.
