Are you familiar with St. Patrick? He used the metaphor of the shamrock to demonstrate to people how Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit are one in the same. I found this information for you on the sourse listed. God Bless!
Patrick would hold up a shamrock and challenge his hearers, "Is it one leaf or three?" "It is both one leaf and three," was their reply. "And so it is with God," he would conclude. St. Patrick, no doubt, was careful not to confuse pagan idolaters with the idea of Polytheism, i.e., the false notion that there are many separate gods; but, his dependence upon the Holy Spirit to give him the illustration of the shamrock to illustrate the Trinity, gave him success in preaching the Gospel.
Have a wonderful day! :-D

Very good question. His title is "the Christ". To be "the Christ" he had to fulfill many prophecies or prerequisites. I can't remember them all, but they are things like being a descendant of King David, being born of a virgin, healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, let the deaf hear, dying on a cross after a miscarriage of justice, buried in tomb, rose on the third day, etc. Most important of these is he is God. God is actually Triune, meaning it is 3 persons who are united. So Jesus is one of the Trinity.
Another important point is God made man, man didn't make God.

What evidence is there for Jesus' divinity? The first is that of His sinless life—something only God could do. The Bible says Jesus was "tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin" (Hebrews 4:15). Then there is the evidence of His miracles—miracles that demonstrated the power of God.
But the final proof of Jesus' divine nature was His resurrection from the dead. Anyone could claim to be the Son of God, but only Christ proved it by coming back from the grave—an event witnessed by hundreds. Who was Jesus Christ? He was God in human flesh—and He came into this world for one reason: to save us from our sins. Why not open your heart to Him today?

I'll tell you: Jesus is the only man who ever lived who wrote himself into the book ahead of time. There are more than 300 prophecies concerning Jesus in the old Jewish writings of the old testament.
As a man, he was head and shoulders above ANY other person who ever lived in true knowledge and wisdom from above. His character was flawless!
And then he had the divine miraculous going on as well: Such as healing the sick, walking on water, casting out devils, multiplying the loaves and fishes of one person's food into enough to feed thousands, raising the dead back to life, and then himself raising back to life after being crucified.
Of course, he took on the commonly known name for God, "I AM" as pertaining to himself, to the point that the Jews were going to stone him. And He said, "If you have seen me you have seen the Father".and "I and the Father are one (in essence)"
His compassion, mercy and grace all speak of a Father figure who longs for a fallen race to be drawn back unto Him and be healed, but who largely leaves it up to the free will of each individual to choose.
And there's a bunch more I could write, but that will be sufficient for now.

when a man contemplates his own being and realizes the light in his mind is a proportion of God, then he chooses to love that knowledge with all his heart. That is what makes him divine, and that is what Jesus did.

Jesus said, "I and the Father are One." No other person has done supernatural, miraculous things in the presence of thousands of people. No "magician" has ever healed someone blind from birth, or lame, or brought the dead back to life, or disappeared from a Roman-guarded tomb only to reappear in person to over 500 people who all confirmed it. Jesus is God jam-packed into human form. If he'd of come to earth any other way, he would've scared the bejabbers out of us. But he didn't, he came to earth in the form of a tiny helpless baby in the arms in teenaged 'sinners'. And people didn't run from him, they ran toward him. He's either a phony, delusional, or who he said he was.

god made angels in heaven along with jesus crhrist his son and then he made animals and humans on earth satin one of the angels was jealous of god and was kicked out of the heavens and came to earth as a snake and told adam and eve to eat off the tree and they will be like god and they did. so anyways they along with satin and his followers were kicked out of the garden of eden and were sinned so that sin was passed to us. well jesus was sent here on earth through mary to help teach us about jehovah god and his commandments and when he gave his life for us he was ressurected to the heavens and now he is judging us and our decisions with god. till the day god takes care of all who did not listen to jesus' preaching and gods word the bible.

What makes JESUS the GOD is the fact that he's the son of GOD. To my knowledge, this is a proven fact.
