Have Trinitarians given credit to Jesus for something that the Divine Name Almighty God YHWH has done ?

Jesus is YHWH, "YHWH is Salvation," so I guess yeah.
Give credit where credit is due I believe is the saying.

"Jesus is YHWH" -- No, Jesus is certainly not YHWH. I have absolutely no idea where you got such an idea. Jesus is the English form of the Greek word which is used for the name of Yeshuah or Yehoshuah, which in the English translation of the Old Testament would have been rendered as Joshua.

YHWH, as you put it, is the English equivalent of the Tetragrammaton, the unknown, unpronounceable Name of God in major portions of the Old Testament. I should add that that other English word is a bit of gibberish that results from some folks combining the consonants of the Tetragrammaton with vowel pointing related to a totally different word. This is information casually known to Jews for a long time, but, since most Christians don't speak Hebrew, they don't have the first idea of what's involved. Hence the easy confusion of the gibberish with the Name of God.

I'm sure the jehovah's witnesses mean well, but they are simply totally wrong, always have been totally wrong, and in spite of being repeatedly made aware that they are incorrect, they continue to hold on to their wrong view of the Tetragrammaton.

This is not "debatable." It is not a matter of opinion. It is fact.

You are entitled to your own opinions on things, but you are not entitled to your own facts.

For many thousands of years Gods own people did not worship a Trinity, in fact they taught the following,.....”hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah:” Deuteronomy 6:4 NAV

The Jews were very different from the surrounding nations who DID worship a triad of Gods, such as the Babylonians and the Egyptians who were well know for it, however Gods people were different as they were monotheistic and were not influenced by the pagans triad worshipping. This is one of the reason why Israel were warned about affiliating with the surrounding nations, so that they did not end up worshipping their false Gods!

Jesus backed up that belief when in prayer to his heavenly father said,...”"This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. John 17: 3. Notice how he calls his father the ONLY TRUE GOD!

The first century Christians taught the same when they preached for example 1 Cor 15: 24-28 where we see in Vs 24 that Jesus has a GOD AND FATHER and that in Vs 28 he SUBJECTS himself to his God & Father!

Unfortunately the Christian congregation by the forth century had given in to the surrounding nations triad form of worship, this was the great Apostasy that Paul had foretold would set in after he was gone, and the Trinity doctrine was then born there in Constantinople in the 4th century. This was contrary to what the first century Christians taught !

Here is where the Trinity comes from, the nations Trinity pre-dating Christianity, pagan nations that God had warned them about. (Egypt, Babylon and many others)

I think that apostates say that Jesus Created Himself but the Bible says God the Father is the ONE.

Of course..Trinitarians believe in the Triune God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit..

Correct. YHVH (or YHWH) means eternal, and Jesus is indeed eternal. He, along with the Father and the Spirit, is God.
