Good! Here is the right answer.
When Jesus Christ was on earth He claimed to be God and knew He was God!
“1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God.” John 1:1-2.
In this passage “...the Word...” is Jesus Christ, who was the personification of all that God wanted to say. He lived and proved that the Word of God can be lived out in a human life. Since He was in the beginning with God He was God.
“14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14.
Here is another confirmation that Jesus Christ is the Word who took on human flesh and became a man, a sinless one at that.
“1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” I John 1:1-3.
Here is another confirmation that Jesus Christ was/is “...the Word of life...” and the Son of God to all who will receive Him as such.
“58Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” John 8:58.
Here Jesus Christ is claiming to have lived before Abraham and to be the “...I AM THAT I AM...” of Exodus 3:14. “ 14And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” Exodus 3:14.
“30I and my Father are one.” John 10:30.
Here Jesus Christ is saying that He and the Father are one and the same.
“36Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.” John 10:36-38.
“11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.” John 14:11.
In these last two verses Jesus Christ is saying that God the Father is in Him and that He is in God the Father meaning that they are one and the same.
“19Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. “20At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.” John 14:19-20.
Here Jesus Christ is saying that when He goes to be with the Father He will continue to be in His Father and be one with the Father.
“13When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 16:13-17.
Here Peter states of Jesus Christ that “... Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” meaning that He was the Son of God and the Messiah.
“36The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:).” Acts 10:36.
Here Luke in writing Acts claims Jesus Christ “...he is Lord of all.”
“18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Matthew 28:18.
Here Jesus is saying that He is all powerful meaning He is omnipotent or equal with God.
“5While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.” Matthew 17:5.
Here God the Father is confirming that Jesus Christ is His son.
“43He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.” Matthew 27:43.
Here those who saw Jesus Christ crucified confirmed that Jesus Christ had said “...I am the Son of God.”
“13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;” Colossians 1:13-19.
“8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Colossians 2:8-9.
These last two passages should remove all visages of doubt of who is Jesus Christ.
