It seems you have already made your decision.
No one else can make that for you, or be responsible for it.
Regardless of our personal decisions, ever knee will bow and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Jesus was God incarnate; made a man with human limitations. God the father was greater than Him, but both The Father and Son are one. God has revealed Himself to mankind in a third way, as the Holy Spirit. He lives within every believer, and is one with the Father and Son. The Spirit is the proof and a seal to all believers that there is, in fact, a living God.
It's like saying water has revealed itself to us in three ways; as a liquid - water, as a gas - steam, as a solid - ice. All three are water, just in a different state, with different abilities. The use of the word "trinity" describes the three ways God has revealed Himself to us. It is logical to worship Christ as God, because He is God.
If you will venture past your preconceived perceptions, stepping over those lines you have drawn, you may find the truth of these statements yourself. God is alive, and waiting for those who will sincerely seek Him. Christianity makes the exclusive claim that the only way to God is through His son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is "the way, truth, and life".

Don't worship Jesus. He never asked for worship. He always said that the Father is greater than he is, and in another section of the Bible the apostle John tried to do an act of worship to an angel and the angel told him "don't do that. Worship God."
Also, the Bible doesn't speak of an immortal soul. It says that the "soul that is sinning" will die. The soul is mortal. You ARE a soul, you don't HAVE a soul. If you want to really understand the Bible, you have to have a real desire to know the truth...not the false teachings based on tradition and pagan ritual. You need to learn what the Bible really says. But if you want to know about God and Jesus, you would have to read the Bible, because that is the primary source of information provided for us to know them.

the completed theology of the Incarnation and the Trinity has continuously questioned me. i've got self belief it has questioned absolutely everyone who has truthfully theory approximately it. lots of the particularly specified theology around it (from the 4th century) holds little interest to me. each and all of the uncooked fabric is interior the recent testomony, and one gets a feeling that there are complicated paradoxes in contact. The verses you cite emphasize Jesus as a guy and since the Son; others (John 8:fifty 8 & John 10:30 working example) emphasize Jesus's cohesion with the divine. i've got self belief that the two perspectives are in a deep sense genuine. honestly God isn't straightforward for the human strategies to entice close, and that i doubt the apostles would have invented something as intellectually messy like the Trinity for purposes of winning converts. i think of this only the closest we can get to grasping it in this life. on the different hand, there are aspects of the Gospels that talk lots greater of course. Jesus somewhat rose from the ineffective, a lot of human beings testified to this to the factor of loss of life. and various of what He asks human beings is as sparkling as that's no longer hassle-free. working example: Luke 10:25-37 - the solid Samaritan Matthew 18:21-22 - Forgiveness Mark 10:17-31 - finished dedication interior the no longer likely experience I completely grasp that attitude to life, i will circulate directly to attempting to comprehend the Trinity at a deeper point. Have a solid day, and peace be with you. greater strategies are on my weblog (link below) in case you're curious.

He proved himself more than any other historical figure in existance. they only mention 5 percent of his miracles in the Bible. He's also the only human being to have ever come back from the dead, alive again with live witnesses. Jesus made sure that he left all the proof in the world for us to believe in him. He's also the most documented historical figure in history. Over a thousand people wrote about him during his time. That's all I got to say buddy.

Dear:
It is for no man to have the answer to your question. We can only point to our own testimonies. It is only with a truly open heart that you can receive any understanding..it is your choice. God will not strong arm you into submission. If it were so apparent, His awesome presence...it would be easy to choose Salvation....and therefor would not be a choice of your own free will....would it?

I truly believe you are an idiot. You will burn in hell for you stupidity if you do not repent. Only a fool puts himself on a level to where God has to be explained. If you don't believe I don't care and you end will be a result of your pride and ignorance. Have fun suffering.

I too at one time in my life was like you, arrogant, boastful and full of crap. I do not think you could fit in as a good christian. If someone has to talk you into trying to accept Jesus as your Savior then you are not ready. When and if God decides he wants you, you will know.

Don't worship Jesus. He is not the Almighty God, as he himself acknowledged it. (John 14:28; Matthew 20:23 )
But, you should honor and obey him. He is God' annointed king. And, soon pretty soon, he will come to destroy the wicked--including the ridiculers.

Truthfully, I don't care whether you believe in Jesus as God, even though He is. You've convinced me of your ignorance, so, enjoy. God Bless you, for what you think it's worth.
