For starters you are quoting Paul not Jesus.
Jesus said God was his Father....Jesus never said He was God...Paul said that.
Most Christian's should be referred to as "Paulinists" because most "Christian" beliefs are based on the letters written by Paul rather than the direct teachings of Jesus.
The teachings of Christ recorded in The Gospels DID NOT ask followers to stop being Jews. Christ did not tell people to turn their backs on their faith, rather he taught them how to be better Jews, how to be more faithful to the True God, and how to pray to God directly without having to have a priest pray for them. Christianity and specifically Catholics have ignored and twisted those basic teachings into a polytheism that worships Mary, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, and God. Christ taught his followers that they should go forth and spread the word with just the clothes on their back, that God would provide for them. Yet, Christianity is a multi-billion dollar business with some preachers making super-star salaries. Christ taught “Every man (giveth) according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.2 Corinthians 9:7 (King James Version) Christianity teaches “tithing” , or the giving of 10% of your earnings to your church even though the concept of tithing is never mentioned in the Bible.
There are so many discrepancies I could go on all day but my point is that Christ never wanted or expected to create a new religion that would supplant the Jewish religion he followed faithfully.
If a "Christian" can take solice and comfort from the largest lie ever told then that is fine....just don't expect me to see the same pink elephants that you do.

It says what it says and it doesnt says God is Jesus nor Jesus is God...

Jesus is God Incarnate.

A lot of people not only don't believe that Jesus was God, they don't even believe Jesus existed at all - and I'm one of 'em!

Most of the world. Your self centered view of the world is an indication why you seek your own security in a 2000 year old text.

Jesus made at least 20 references to His Father who was
in heaven while Jesus walked the Earth. One reference
saying, "My Father, is GREATER than I."
Jesus called himself the Morning Star. Job mentions the
"Morning Stars, when they sang together." The first life that came from LIFE?

Better yet John 18:6...... And they said to him, Are you Jesus of Nazereth, and he said to them "I AM". With that that all drew back and fell to the ground.
You dont say I am and expect people to fall to the ground. its beacuse he uttered the same words God said to Moses, I AM that I AM. Yeah, Jesus is God.

I don't believe Jesus was God. Actually I don't believe in God or that Jesus even existed. And I have to say I'm pretty content in that belief, so no, no one needs to try to 'convert' me.

I thought Jesus was God's son...
Now I'm really confused
