Looks like chabad did a bit of editing. Let's go through an interlinear translation.Isaiah says the following, it seems Trinitarian did a bit of editing. This is taken from Torah from the Jewish web site 5For a child has been born to us, a son given to us, and the authority is upon his shoulder, and the wondrous adviser, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, called his name, "the prince of peace."https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/15940/jewish/Chapter-9.htm
source: http://qbible.com/hebrew-old-testament/isaiah/9.html
כִּי־יֶלֶד יֻלַּד־לָנוּ בֵּן נִתַּן־לָנוּ וַתְּהִי הַמִּשְׂרָה עַל־שִׁכְמוֹ וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ פֶּלֶא יוֹעֵץ אֵל גִּבּוֹר אֲבִיעַד שַׂר־שָׁלוֹם
Kiy-yeled yuLad-länû Bën niTan-länû waT'hiy haMis'räh al-shikh'mô waYiq'rä sh'mô Pele yôëtz ël GiBôr áviyad sar-shälôm.
For x3588 unto us a child 3206 is born, 3205 z8795 unto us a son 1121 is given: 5414 z8738 and the government 4951 shall be upon x5921 his shoulder: 7926 and his name 8034 shall be x1961 called 7121 z8799 Wonderful, 6382 Counsellor, 3289 z8802 The mighty 1368 ´Ël אֵל, 410 The everlasting 5703 Father, 1 The Prince 8269 of Peace. 7965
Notice the word שְׁמוֹ. .
It's the third-person masculine singular personal pronoun. i.e HIS NAME.
Now notice וַיִּקְרָא.
That's the third-person masculine singular future. SHALL BE CALLED.
So the relevant part of the verse literally is rendered:
וַיִּקְרָא (shall be called)
שְׁמוֹ (His name)
פֶּלֶא (miracle),
יוֹעֵץ (advisor),
אֵל גִּבּוֹר (powerful God)
אֲבִיעַד (petpetual father)
שַׂר־שָׁלוֹם (Head of peace)
Your Jewish website chabad lies and changes the order of the words, when it is clearly His name shall be called Everlasting Father, Almighty God etc and not just prince of peace.
He acted as God in represenatational manner but wasn't actually God? That's called idolatry. If when Thomas bowed before the risen Christ and said "My Lord and my God!" Jesus wasn't actually God but just a representative like an angel, Jesus would be an idol.Jesus came in the form of God because he was given the authority from God the Father, he acted as if he was God but in a representational manner. This is what Paul means when he says that he was in the form of God that is acted with the God's authority. If Jesus was God then he would have had the authority to begin with, why would God need to be given authority from another God? Think about it
He is given authority from God the Father because He derives His essence from Him and submits to Him. As you put it, YHWH's "intelligent aspect" still submits to the Will of the Father because He is derived from the Father. That doesn't mean that He isn't therefore of the same Essence and therefore fully God.
