A MUST READ
No. Jesus is not God. He is NOT the son of God.
He is a human, a massenger from God.... he was able to bring the dead to life not because he is God but because God gave him that ability. The bible is a great book BUT not the bible that exist today. Today, everyone makes a bible (the new American bible, king james bible, and on and on....)
The Kings of England changed my things in the bible
BUT HERE IS A VERY INTERSTING THING I found while surfing the web
Biblical Prophecies on the Advent of
Muhammad , the Prophet of Islam
The Biblical prophecies on the advent of the Prophet Muhammad are evidence of the truth of Islam for people who believe in the Bible.
In Deuteronomy 18, Moses stated that God told him: “I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.” (Deuteronomy 18:18-19).1
From these verses we conclude that the prophet in this prophecy must have the following three characteristics:
1) That he will be like Moses.
2) That he will come from the brothers of the Israelites, i.e. the Ishmaelites.
3) That God will put His words in to the mouth of this prophet and that he will declare what God commands him.
Let us examine these three characteristics in more depth:
1) A prophet like Moses:
There were hardly any two prophets who were so much alike as Moses and Muhammad . Both were given a comprehensive law and code of life. Both encountered their enemies and were victorious in miraculous ways. Both were accepted as prophets and statesmen. Both migrated following conspiracies to assassinate them. Analogies between Moses and Jesus overlook not only the above similarities but other crucial ones as well. These include the natural birth, the family life, and death of Moses and Muhammad but not of Jesus. Moreover Jesus was regarded by his followers as the Son of God and not exclusively as a prophet of God, as Moses and Muhammad were and as Muslims believe Jesus was. So, this prophecy refers to the Prophet Muhammad and not to Jesus, because Muhammad is more like Moses than Jesus.
Also, one notices from the Gospel of John that the Jews were waiting for the fulfillment of three distinct prophecies. The first was the coming of Christ. The second was the coming of Elijah. The third was the coming of the Prophet. This is obvious from the three questions that were posed to John the Baptist: “Now this was John’s testimony, when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Christ.” They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” (John 1:19-21). If we look in a Bible with cross-references, we will find in the marginal notes where the words “the Prophet” occur in John 1:21, that these words refer to the prophecy of Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18.2 We conclude from this that Jesus Christ is not the prophet mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:18.
2) From the brothers of the Israelites:
Abraham had two sons, Ishmael and Isaac (Genesis 21). Ishmael became the grandfather of the Arab nation, and Isaac became the grandfather of the Jewish nation. The prophet spoken of was not to come from among the Jews themselves, but from among their brothers, i.e. the Ishmaelites. Muhammad , a descendant of Ishmael, is indeed this prophet.
Also, Isaiah 42:1-13 speaks of the servant of God, His “chosen one” and “messenger” who will bring down a law. “He will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope.” (Isaiah 42:4). Verse 11, connects that awaited one with the descendants of Kedar. Who is Kedar? According to Genesis 25:13, Kedar was the second son of Ishmael, the ancestor of the Prophet Muhammad .
3) God will put His words in the mouth of this prophet:
The words of God (the Holy Quran) were truly put into Muhammad’s mouth. God sent the Angel Gabriel to teach Muhammad the exact words of God (the Holy Quran) and asked him to dictate them to the people as he heard them. The words are therefore not his own. They did not come from his own thoughts, but were put into his mouth by the Angel Gabriel. During the life time of Muhammad , and under his supervision, these words were then memorized and written by his companions.
Also, this prophecy in Deuteronomy mentioned that this prophet will speak the words of God in the name of God. If we looked to the Holy Quran, we will find that all its chapters, except Chapter 9, are preceded or begin with the phrase, “In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.”
Another indication (other than the prophecy in Deuteronomy) is that Isaiah ties the messenger connected with Kedar with a new song (a scripture in a new language) to be sung to the Lord (Isaiah 42:10-11). This is mentioned more clearly in the prophecy of Isaiah: “and another tongue, will he speak to this people” (Isaiah 28:11 KJV). Another related point, is that the Quran was revealed in sections over a span of twenty-three years. It is interesting to compare this with Isaiah 28 which speaks of the same thing, “For it is: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there.” (Isaiah 28:10).
Note that God has said in the prophecy of Deuteronomy 18, “If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.” (Deuteronomy, 18:19). This means that whoever believes in the Bible must believe in what this prophet says, and this prophet is the Prophet Muhammad .

John 1:1 and John 1:14 however the Jehovah's witness' bible says a god and not God. Actual translation says that In the beginning was the Word and the was with God and the Word was God and in verse 14 it says And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. There are many other verses that say the Father and I are one

John 10:30-33, when Jesus said he and the Father are one and the Jews stoned him for that. Clearly the Jews understood he is claiming to be God.
Mark 2:5-7 When he forgave the sins of a paralytic, the teachers of the law were thinking in their hearts who can forgive sins but God.
Matthew 7:21-23 When Jesus says he will judge the world.

You won't find the exact words "Jesus is God" but the idea comes from the notion that Jesus was the messiah which has a very specific meaning in Judaism.
If you want facts, then I suggest you begin with by questioning whether the bible and all of its translations and mistranslations over the centuries can still be considered as factual.
You're talking about a religious concept which involves articles of faith and not FACT.
But good on ya for asking questioning when most people merely accept what they're told as fact.

Yes, of course there are verses in the Bible that say that Jesus is God! Below are a few of them. Clearly His antagonists understood His claims to Deity, not just His followers. Even if you do not grasp the implications of Jesus' statements, there is no ambiguity that His antagonists understood that Jesus made Himself out to be God.
John 5:17-18:
But He answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working." For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
John 10:30-33:
(Jesus answered them) "I and the Father are one." The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God."
2 Peter 1:1
Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

There are no verses that says Jesus was a God. I am an atheist. (Just for the record.) But, Jesus said, "I and my Father are one." John 10:30 which is the same as proclaiming himself God.

There is no verse in the Bible that says EXACTLY that but from what I've learned there is a statement that Christ himself says that Him and His father are one and the same. Jesus is basically God in flesh & bone. If this isn't the answer you seek then good luck in finding the exact words that you seek.

Just to echo what has been said no one has claimed Jesus was a god. Jesus has been claimed to be son of god and son of man. If you read the new testament you don't need to read very far into it to see that written. However you ask for a fact - just because it is written down doesn't make it a fact. You need to go on your own journey of religious and self exploration that goes beyond reading texts if you are looking for something real.

Answer,
You place upon yourself restrictions in that you want quick answers to explain the whole world. Some things take longer to learn.
Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

In all 4 Gospels, Jesus called him self "Son of Man (Adam)" 83 times and "Son of God" 13 times.
First time the word "My Father in heaven" was used AFTER he used "Your Father in heaven" 8 times.
John 10:30: "I and my Father are one".
The context starts from John 10:23 and goes all the way to verse 39. Read it and see it yourself Jesus is asking priests about why are they having problem when THEY are allowed to call themselves "god" but having problems when he calls himself "Son of God (prophet, see OT, there are many "son of God").
There are about 30 verse that most Christians use in arguing Jesus is God but none of them proves Jesus is God if you read the whole context.
