. . . Jesus and God are synonymous ideas. YHWH is Christ's title. Jesus is God.
Seems to me there is room for theological debate.
Because I don't see your question as relevant to the points that I was making.
I don't know why you keep dodging my question and that passage but okay. No biggie. I am over it
The word monotheism is not in a Bible translation as far as I know.
To add to what you said about the word 'monotheism'. The word 'homosexuality', and even the psychological concept of orientation, didn't appear until recently in history, yet it doesn't stop people from publishing new Biblical translations that include the word in verses. Very interesting how modern translations adapt and change yet still claim to be authentic to original texts. As one example.
"Yahoshua" is a little used variant spelling only referring to a particular person, Joshua, son of Nun, second in command to Moses (according to the story, whether such a historical person existed or not).
Notice Yahoshua never "prays with" the disciples or anyone.He is ALWAYS communing with the father

When i "pray" guess I shouldn't call it that, I'm aware that chanting phrases is pointless and way below what god expects of us.....I should call it "having a conversation with jesus in mind" (whatever your interpretation of him may be) not "prayer"
Until about a year ago, I always prayed to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, with zero questioning, full comfort and confidence… After many enthralling ATS visits over the years, consequently, that simple comforting system has been shattered......Now my mind is flooded with thoughts such as, and definitely not limited to; Is God really an egotistical jealous madman?
who was Jesus really?
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Praying as Yahoshua proclaimed is a state of communion with the creator God the Father and Son.There's no reason to make it more difficult than that.It is not "mystical".The creator God is causing all to happen as a "work" in you.Everything is 100% in control of the creator God ...you have nothing to worry about or fear.
But who do I pray to!!!?
And the answer is obvious......Love
