Rebecca, take a look at this from the First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians:

Chapter I: "...Grace unto you, and peace, from Almighty God through Jesus Christ, be multiplied."

Chapter XLII: "The apostles have preached the gospel to us from the Lord Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ (has done so) from God. Christ therefore was sent forth by God, and the apostles by Christ."

Chapter LVIII: "May God, who seeth all things, and who is the ruler of all spirits and the Lord of all flesh - who chose our Lord Jesus Christ and us through him to be a peculiar people - grant to every soul that calleth upon his glorious and holy name, faith, fear, peace, patience, long-suffering...".

Leaving eisegesis alone and letting the material speak for itself, there is nothing suggesting that Jesus is the Almighty G-d or that he is equal to him. The Almighty G-d is presented in contradistinction to Jesus Christ. Furthermore, the Almighty G-d is pictured as superior to Christ, "sending him forth" and "choosing him" for a specific purpose.
