Jesus knows his proper place with God. John 14:28 states: "The Father is greater than I am." Jesus is Jehovah God's first creation. Col.1:15 states "He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation." So, the creation can not be greater than the Creator.

The BIble does not teach that Jesus is God the Son but that he is the Son of God,whose name is Jehovah.
The concept of a trinity God was fused in with apostate Christianity in the fourth century CE and unfortunately the Churches of Christendom mislead their followers into believing that Jesus is God when in actual fact he is the only begotten Son.
All prayers and worship should be directed to Jehovah God.

It wasn't until the 4th century and the Council of Nicea that Jesus was declared to be God. All those who didn't accept that belief were killed -- except the Jews. St. Augustine declared that the Jews would be allowed to survive, but NOT thrive! And we all know what followed for the next 1600 years!

Looks like you have heard from the cults (JW) and Islam, but very little from Christians who support what Jesus actually said. When speaking to Pharisees Jesus said:
John 8:58-59
Jesus said unto them, Verily,verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Then took they up stones to cast at him:..."
I guess they thought He said that He was God they wanted to stone Him for making the proclamation... Maybe before you make such silly statements again you should not just swallow what your teachers say but actually see what it says or if you are too busy ask a real christian... Jim

Hmm. Jesus (PBUH) in the Gospel of John speaks of many things. Being present in the creation of time, being in the "WORD", etc. Jesus never said he was Allah. Jesus said he was the messiah.
Now, 300 years after his death, the Roman Emperor Constantine helped "design" the bible because there was so much war among Christians of what to believe. In that council the Apostles creed was made, also the edited Bible as we know it, AND, the birth of the TRINITY making Jesus = God = Holy Spirit.
Sadly enough, Jesus taught how to pray to the FATHER only. He never said to pray to him, to his mother, to the spirits, Just Allah.

There is but one Holy Book "The bible" and Jesus makes it quite clear He is the Lord God, as does the prophets of old. "The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace, The Great I AM, The Alpha and Omega, The Almighty.

JESUS CLAIMS TO BE GOD:
During Christ's trial, the chief priests asked Him point blank, "Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God." And He said,
"I am." (Mark 14:60-62)
"Yes, it is as you say." (Matt. 26: 63-65)
"You are right in saying I am." (Luke 22:67-70)
In John's gospel, he recounts Jesus' interview with Pontius Pilate (John 18:33-37). Pilate wanted to know if He were the King of the Jews. Jesus then talked about how His kingdom was not of this world. Pilate said, "You are a king, then!" Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king..." The truth is, he is King of the whole universe.
John 4:25-26. This is where the Samaritan woman, whom Jesus went to meet at the well, gets into a discussion of "living water" with Jesus. He pinpoints her sinful lifestyle (knowledge He would not have had as a mere human passerby), then He admits that He is the long-awaited Messiah: "I who speak to you am He."
John 17:5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
Exodus 3, where Moses encounters God in the burning bush. God tells Moses that he is the one He has chosen to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses says to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me 'What is His name?' Then what shall I tell them?" God replies to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'" God has said that His own name, His personal name, is "I AM."
John 8:56-58. Jesus is talking to the unbelieving Jews. "Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing My day; he saw it and was glad." "You are not yet 50 years old," they said to Him, "and you have seen Abraham?" "I tell you the truth," Jesus announced, "before Abraham was, I AM!" Jesus was the great I AM from before the beginning of time; He existed before Abraham ever was. He is claiming here to be the I AM of the Old Testament. Verse 59 says the Jews picked up stones to stone Him, but the Lord Jesus slipped away. The reason they wanted to stone Him was because stoning was the death penalty for blasphemy. He was claiming to be Yahweh--Jehovah--Almighty God--I AM.
John 8:24. "I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I AM, you will indeed die in your sins."
John 14:7-10 [7] If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." [8] Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." [9] Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, `Show us the Father'? [10] Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
The really foolish thing that people often say about Him is: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg--or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon, or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come away with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. The fact is, He IS God. He was and is the Messiah.

John 8:18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
John 10:30 I and my Father are one
God is Jesus Father, so where did you get that from? Jesus and God are one in the same, and He said so in John 10:30

Don't argue with them-------I have been doing this for years. It does no good---they consider Jesus is G-d, and will not change. G-d is One. But, they will not listen.
