Yes, Jesus said Im the Son of God, Yes, Jesus said I AM Yes, Jesus said Im the Son of Man and etc....... but there is not one direct quote saying I am God. No one in the Bible even had the sense to ask him that. Jesus is crazy, we are missing something, or Jesus is being a sly fox. Now which one is it.

Let me get this right,
If I answer any question put to me with the expression I am. That makes me the I am of Exodus. 3:14?
or does it make me Moses, cause at Ex 3:4
Mose said I am here.
You are correct Jesus never said he was God.
When being accused of saying that (John 10:30)
Jesus referenced Ps. 82:6 not Ps 83:18
Jesus compared himself to human judges of Israel. Not Jehovah.
He then said Look at my works, So Jesus is telling us that He and his Father are one in works,
John 1:1 May bibles translate this verse as "and the Word was divine", divine means like God, or from God, or as some bible say, "same as God."
An honest appraisal of the bible will lead to the conculsion that the Bible does not teach the trinity, nor did the writers even think of Jesus as God.
rs p. 405 pars. 1-2 Trinity ***
The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”—(1976), Micropædia, Vol. X, p. 126.
The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”—(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299.
*** rs p. 406 par. 1 Trinity ***
In The Encyclopedia Americana we read: “Christianity derived from Judaism and Judaism was strictly Unitarian [believing that God is one person]. The road which led from Jerusalem to Nicea was scarcely a straight one. Fourth century Trinitarianism did not reflect accurately early Christian teaching regarding the nature of God; it was, on the contrary, a deviation from this teaching.”—(1956), Vol. XXVII, p. 294L.
(Romans 15:4-6) . . .” 4 For all the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope. 5 Now may the God who supplies endurance and comfort grant YOU to have among yourselves the same mental attitude that Christ Jesus had, 6 that with one accord YOU may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

One would have to be pretty thick-skulled to miss the obvious and clear meaning of these two selections from scripture, which both speak of the same person and the very same event.
Dan 7:13 I beheld, therefore, in the vision of the night, and lo, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and he came even to the ancient of days: and they presented him before him.
Dan 7:14 And he gave him power, and glory, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes, and tongues shall serve him: his power is an everlasting power that shall not be taken away: and his kingdom that shall not be destroyed.
Mat 26:62 And the high priest rising up, said to him: Answerest thou nothing to the things which these witness against thee?
Mat 26:63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ the Son of God.
Mat 26:64 Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said it. Nevertheless I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Mat 26:65 Then the high priest rent his garments, saying: He hath blasphemed: What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy.
Mat 26:66 What think you? But they answering, said: He is guilty of death.
The high priest knew exactly what Jesus meant, too, as he declared the sin of blasphemy by rending his garments.
Then he took Jesus away to the proper authorities to secure his execution.
How much clearer does it need to be for you?

right here's a quote from a piece of writing I basically discovered that i found exciting. remember that the author is a staunch Trinitarian: From Jesus as ???? [God]: A Textual examination with the help of Brian James Wright "From Aland to Zuntz, each important NT student has explored the canon of the NT for texts that decision Jesus ???? [God]. at an identical time as this might seem as though a painless pursuit with loads of “evidence-passages,” countless obstacles directly emerge. "No author of a synoptic gospel explicitly ascribes the identify ???? to Jesus. Jesus by no skill makes use of the term ???? for himself. No sermon interior the e book of Acts attributes the identify ???? [God] to Jesus. No extant Christian confession(s) of Jesus as ???? [God] exists in the previous than the overdue 50s. earlier than the fourth-century Arian controversy, pretty few Greek MSS attest to such “Jesus-????” passages. and probably the main important difficulty for NT Christology on the subject of this subject remember is that textual variations exist in each ability passage the place Jesus is explicitly spoke of as ???? [God]. This plethora of themes might galvanize one to repeat, for various motives, what a Gnostic document as quickly as confessed approximately Jesus, “no remember if a god or an angel or what I ought to call him, i don't comprehend.” " actual, each verse related to Christ's Godship has ambiguities. the author concludes with a chart of verses, of which on John a million:a million; 20:28; Titus 2:13; and 2 Peter a million:a million are labeled as "specific" in calling Jesus God. John a million:a million - the "God" of John a million:1c is seen qualitative with the help of maximum pupils. it rather is not pointing at an identity, yet at traits that the understanding has. John 20:28 - lacks a verb, for this reason it rather is ambiguous. it ought to ok be interior the "Nominative of Exclamation." It suits the standards. Titus 2:13 - this is composed of the "Granville Sharp Rule," which maximum evangelical pupils settle for. in spite of the fact that it rather is not wide-unfold in all quarters. 2 Peter a million:a million - additionally is composed of the "Granville Sharp Rule." in spite of the fact that, there are textual variations recent in early manuscripts that disqualify it.

Jesus never claimed to be God. Being one with God is a privelage from righteousness and faith.

You answered your own question, I AM is God (see Exodus 3:14). If Jesus = I AM and I AM = God, Jesus = God.

You obviously don't want to hear me. When God introduced Himself to Moses, He named Himself 'I AM'. You want Jesus to say it in English? Why? He spoke in a manner that the people around Him could understand. You must therefore look at His words in the way those around HIm at the time would.
It's amazing how blind people can be when they don't want to see the truth.

The people of that time understood him clearly enough to kill him for it. Let me also say his apostles and numerous other witnesses paid him homage as Lord (God). When Thomas saw Christ risen from the dead Thomas declared, "MY LORD AND MY GOD!" Also, one of the many names of Jesus is IMMANUEL which means God is with us. Do we really have to "hit you with a sledge hammer" to drive the TRUTH home. Of course, you are free to ignore the truth like many have before you.
