Well thanks for your Question :)
A study of the Christian scriptures reveals that Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity. In fact there is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (pbuh) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me". In fact the Bible contains statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in which he preached quite the contrary. The following statements in the Bible are attributed to Jesus Christ (pbuh):
(i) "My Father is greater than I."
[The Bible, John 14:28]
(ii) "My Father is greater than all."
[The Bible, John 10:29]
(iii) "…I cast out devils by the Spirit of God…."
[The Bible, Mathew 12:28]
(iv) "…I with the finger of God cast out devils…."
[The Bible, Luke 11:20]
(v) "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."
[The Bible, John 5:30]
I hope this helps us both to understand our faith more and more :)

John 1:1 Cannot be interpreted any other way than "the Word was (the) God" or it makes the rest of our holy scriptures to no effect. If one word is Added, the entire meaning changes. By interpreting this verse as "the Word was A God" , implications are made that Jesus is not our One and Same God, but a different one, separate entirely. This latter interpretation does not agree with the other scriptures concerning the Holy Relationship. If the scriptures do not agree, then it is made useless. God is Perfect. (Matt5:48) God has never changed and can never change in any smallest measure (Ex. 3:14). To change, He would need to go from better to worse or from worse to better. He cannot do either, for being perfect, He cannot become more perfect, and if He were to become less perfect, He would be less than God. So being perfect, His Words are pure (Prov. 30:5)
Twice, God spoke to show His complete delight in every facet of Jesus (Matthew 3:17 and 14:5 & Luke 9:35).
Jesus spoke the Words of God under the Authority of God (John 6:38 14:10 8:26 & 8:54-55)
Several occasions, Jesus confirmed He Is God (John 8:58, 10:30, 14:9)
Scripture confirms that Jesus is God during the fulfillment of Prophecy
Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:23
Isaiah 40:3 (Jehovah) and Matthew 3:3 (Luke 3:3-6)
Psalm 45:6-7 / 102:25-27 and Hebrews 1:8-12
Malachi 3:1 and Luke 7:24,27
Malachi 4:5-6 and Matthew 11:13-14

There is no made up Jesus pbuh in the Bible, only the historical Jesus of Nazareth, a Jew, who claimed divinity. If Jesus never claimed to be God, why was He called blasphemous for claiming to be God?
John 8:56-58. Jesus is talking to the unbelieving Jews. "Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing My day; he saw it and was glad." "You are not yet 50 years old," they said to Him, "and you have seen Abraham?" "I tell you the truth," Jesus announced, "before Abraham was, I AM!" Jesus was the great I AM from before the beginning of time; He existed before Abraham ever was. He is claiming here to be the I AM of the Old Testament. Verse 59 says the Jews picked up stones to stone Him, but the Lord Jesus slipped away. The reason they wanted to stone Him was because stoning was the death penalty for blasphemy. He was claiming to be Yahweh--Jehovah--Almighty God--I AM.

No.
John 14:6 Jesus said unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, but by Me".

yes he did. Jesus is not God, he is the son of the Most Holy Father Jehovah God. he said you seen me you seen the Father, he meant that he was with Jehovah for billions of years before he came to earth, so he knew his Father.

Matthew 4:10 - Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’
Jesus says: "Worship Jehovah God"
