Christians believe Jesus is God or son of God based on verses similar to this :
Jesus said: "I and the Father are one"(Jn.10:30)
Jesus said: "I am the way, ...no one comes to the Father, but through me." (Jn.14:6)
I dont wish to list every verse but they are more or less similar.
For Non-Christians like myself, these verses:
Jesus said: "I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I." (Jn.14:28)
Jesus said; "Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master; neither is the one who is sent greater than the one who sent him." (John 13:16)
Now, LOGICALLY speaking, if Jesus was God, he could have said it himself, somewhere, at least ONCE. But he did not. All the prophets have mentioned to their people that they were prophets sent by God. If Jesus was TRULY God, he should have said it HIMSELF, not, the Gospel writers. Son of God may not be taken in the literal sense.
Put all faith aside and Look at it from a Logical point. Is Jesus God?
