Jesus said he is OF god, not god. He is the son of god. (Jesus is not the WORD) For those that do not understand this concept please check out the Nag Hammadi Library Texts - no one should buy into anything unless it is complete. (Lord and God are not the same positions. I don't recall anyone calling the Lord of the Manor god.)
____________
It amazes me how many people twist a simple saying into what they want it to say - 'I and the father are one' does not mean that 'I am the father' or else Jesus would have come right out and said "Hey everyone, I am God!" Which he never said.

You really should be informed before you ask a question like that....
Is Jesus Christ a man, or is he God?
Jesus Christ is most definitely God. He created Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, in his image. He is the Creator of the universe. The Bible says, "Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made" (John 1:3). This includes all the stars, all the original animals and plants, and even the angels (Colossians 1:15-17).
It is important not be confused. God did not create Jesus. Jesus is God, and he has always existed.
Jesus proved that he is God by doing many things that only God could do. These are called miracles. He made dead people alive. He walked across a great lake. He made blind eyes see perfectly again. He healed deadly diseases with a word.
The exciting truth is that Jesus is now also a man, and will remain so for all eternity. He humbled himself to become like one of his own creations. He chose to become a man to help us in an extremely important way. This amazing event happened about 2-thousand years ago. The results have changed the world forever.
The part of God that is called the Holy Spirit created God's human body inside of a woman named Mary (Matthew 1:20). God went into this human body that grew inside of Mary. The baby was born and grew into a man.
At various times in the past, Jesus had appeared to people in human form. One example is when he appeared to Abraham just before the judgment of the evil cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. But now, for the first time in history, God did not simply appear as man, he became fully human. Yet, he is still God. He is both God and man.
One huge difference between this man and every other man and woman, or boy and girl, is that Jesus was (and still is) sinless. We humans are full of sin. We sin every day. Jesus never did anything wrong, not even once. No matter what temptations came to him, he refused to sin. He has always remained pure and perfect.
Isn't it amazing to think about?! Our Creator walked among us. Like us, our Almighty God smelled the flowers and touched the animals that he had created. He loved boys and girls.
As a man, God experienced the same temptations that we feel (Hebrews 2:18). He suffered the same kind of physical pains that we suffer with. He also experienced emotional pain. He even wept about the city of Jerusalem (John 11:35). He was ignored, unappreciated, unloved, misunderstood, and even despised -- even though he did nothing wrong, and always loved everyone (1 Peter 2:23). Not only is Jesus Christ the greatest man that ever lived; he is our Creator. He deserved all glory and honor!
I am sure that you have heard what people did to him. It was horribly painful and terribly unjust.
He had the power to stop their torture and taunting at any time. His power is awesome beyond anything we can understand. Yet, he did not defend himself. He let himself be like a perfect, innocent little lamb that hurt no one, and was sacrificed for the sins of the people.
He did this for us, because he loves us. Only he could pay the price for our sins. Only he could save us from the punishment we deserve. He suffered for us (1 Peter 2:21; 3:18; 4:1).
Today, he lives in Heaven and works to help us (Romans 8:34). The Bible tells us that one day he will return to earth to become the rightful king of the entire world. That will be a most wonderful time! Finally, we will have a leader that is good and wise in every way. The earth will be filled with God's glory and justice. Life on this planet will become so much better. Even the dangerous animals will become harmless (the wolf will lie down with the lamb) (Isaiah 11:6).
Is Jesus Christ God or man? The amazing answer is BOTH; he is God and man.

The Holy Bible may say that Jesus (peace be upon him) is "Lord/God" but the Bible was changed. The true Inspiration was sent to Jesus. And that version is locked up somewhere in Vatican i think.
Okay firstly, read this from the Holy Qur'an, (5:78):
"Christ the son of Mary was no more than a messenger;
Many were the messengers that passed away before him.
His mother was a saintly woman.
They both ate earthly food.
See! How clear We make for them Our Messages.
Yet see! How they are deluded from the truth."
The House of Islam acknowledges that Jesus Christ, the son of Mary was one of the mightiest Messengers of God. It acknowledges that he was born miraculously; that he was a Messiah, that he gave life to the dead BY GOD'S PERMISSION; and that he healed the blind and the lepers BY GOD'S PERMISSION.
Finally...
"Say: 'Shall I take for my protector any but Allah. The originator of the heavens and the earth? When it is HE WHO FEEDS BUT HAS NO NEED TO BE FED'." Holy Qur'an, Sura An-am (6:14)
Whereas...
"And they gave him (Jesus) a piece of broiled fish, and of a honeycomb. And he (Jesus) took it, and did eat before them." - Luke (24:42-43)
The Holy Bible also says that Jesus is the "Son of God". But the Holy Qur'an (the direct Word of God) says:
"Say: He is Allah the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal Absolute; HE BEGETTETH NOT, nor was he begotten: And there us none like unto Him." (Holy Qur'an 112:1-4)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles: one for thee, one for Moses, and one for elias. while 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 17:4 and 5 And Jesus ,when He was baptized,went up straightway out oft the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Matthew 3:16 and 17 Unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write ; these things saith the Son of God, who hath His eyes like unto a flame of fire, and His feet are like fine brass; Revelation 2:18 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God. 1 John 5:5 for there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 1 John 5:7 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 1 John 2:22 and 23 Say ye of Him, whom the father hath sanctified, and sent unto the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said , I am the Son of God? John 10:36 I and My Father are one. John 10:30 Seeing that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. Hebrews 4:14

allow me to quickly help you with your question. who the heck was Jesus anyway? was He God? when did he say that? one step at a time.
first, here's the most important quote from Jesus himself where he actually does say He's God: John 10:30-33 - "I and the Father are one."
Consider This: Jesus was viewed as divine from the very beginning of Christianity. He is referred to as God at least seven times in the New Testament and Lord as a divine title many other times.
Consider This: The earliest documents from the Christian church ascribe to Jesus divine status.
Consider This: The entire flow of the Old Testament requires that God come into the world, as Immanuel (God-with-us e.g. Isaiah 7:14).
Consider This: Even non-Christian writings from Romans such as Celsus, Pliny and Lucian state that the Christians venerated Jesus as God.
Consider This: Jesus' original followers were routinely martyred for their belief that Jesus was God - a belief they would not recant even unto death.
Consider This: It is always possible to find someone holding such a view, but to claim there are many is simply untrue.
He is referred to as God a number of times (e.g. John 20:28). Paul can declare, "in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form" (Colossians 2:9). John says, "He (Jesus) is the true God and eternal life" (1 John 5:20). In the Old Testament he is called "the mighty God" (Isaiah 9:6) the same two Hebrew words used of God in a number of places (e.g. Isaiah 10:21; Jeremiah 32:18).
His pre-existence before coming into this world is constantly assumed and sometimes directly stated (e.g. John 1:1,14).
He was involved in the creation of the universe and it is his power that sustains it (e.g. Colossians 1: 16,17; Hebrews 1: 2,3).
His role as judge of the human race (e.g. John 5:25-29; 2 Corinthians 5:10).
obviously you would want quotes of Jesus from the history book that people have trusted for a couple thousand years, so we can have a fair, accurate answer of what God & Jesus say about each other, so here are those quotes (and i recommend grabbin' a Bible just to read the stuff before and after, and make sure I'm not lying to you):
John 8:24, "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." (NKJV)
John 8:58, "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" See Exodus 3:14
John 13:19, "I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am He."
John 20:28 - "Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"
Col. 2:9 - "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form."

YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NOT READ THE BIBLE. it is idiotic to make a comment and not back it up with fact. these are verses just off teh top of my head... " I and the Father (God) are one" "Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." saying that he is one with God and is the son of God does not mean "the son of God" but "God the Son"

No, Jesus was a Prophet who brought the message of God to the people but people misinterpreted his prophethood and performing miracles as being God.

Yes Jesus did state He is God. He stated in the New Testament that He is the Alpha and the Omega. So Jesus is lord - Faithful and true.
