I see why your so peaceful, Mainly because Christ was. But you need to Understand Christ was not God.
Yes - Christ told Peter to put away the sword, thats only because Christ was supposed to die.
Christ said not everyone thats claims Jesus as lord will enter Heaven. Only those that serve God. Proof
Christ said no one know the day and hour of his return but God. Proof
Not once in my whole have have I seen a verse where Jesus said he is God. Not 1
FOR THOSE THAT ASK W.W.J.D.
HE WOULD DO AS HE DID, AND GIVE HIS LIFE FOR THE WILL OF GOD. WOULD YOU???????

Of course not everyone who claims Jesus as Lord will enter heaven. We all have a free will and we can decide to back-slide and refute that belief long before our time to die. So how does that prove He is not God?
Jesus is 1 part of the Trinity - the Godhead - 3-n-1. Surely you've heard of it? It is a hard concept for us to grasp with out simple human minds but that doesn't make it not real. That's where faith comes in. Jesus did not come here and claim to be God because He was not taking the place of God the Father. He was merely the Son of God and one part of the Trinity.
As your father's son do you know absolutely everything that your father knows? No. You do not. That doesn't mean you aren't your father's son. There are things that God the Father knows such as the day & hour of Christ's return that even Christ Himself does not know. That doesn't mean He's NOT the Son of God!

I am not a brother, but I would like to address this question because I am a Christian. Believing there is no Christ, but there is a God suggests that you believe you can obtain the sanctity of God's presence in everlasting life on your own merits. This would then mean you see yourself as perfected in your own rights. This would mean that you obey, and NEVER pervert the laws of Moses as pertains to sin sacrifice. This would then mean you are not a sinner. Do you believe Isaiah? Daniel? Do you know the difference between Jacob and Esau? Are you, alone, above all other mankind? You cannot enter the presence of God except through the veil rent by the blood of Jesus Christ by the mercy and grace of God who provided the ONLY acceptable sacrifice for a perverted people... THAT IS ALL OF MAN AND DOES NOT EXCLUDE YOU.

Excuse me. I'm NOT your Christian Brother. my friend.
Jesus Christ: The Son of God
John 1:1-2; 10:27-30
Have you ever heard someone deny that Jesus claimed to be God? Such a statement simply doesn’t make sense. Repeatedly, Jesus placed Himself on equal footing with the Father and the Holy Spirit (John 10:30; 14:6-14). Scripture gives us a clear picture of His eternal, intimate relationship with the heavenly Father.
Why is it important for us to believe this? Jesus did something that had never been done before: He enabled men and women to see God in a new way. In Colossians 1:15, Paul explains that Jesus is the “image of the invisible God.” No one has ever looked upon the face of the Almighty.
In the Old Testament, some people were confronted with God. But they were never able to look fully upon His glory. For example, even Moses, who is described as God’s friend (Exodus 33:11), could not look directly at God. At best, Moses had the opportunity to look upon “God’s back” as He passed by. But, he never saw His face (Exodus 33:18-23).
Jesus, however, came to bridge the gap between God’s glory and mankind’s sinful nature. In the original Greek text, the word for “image” is directly related to the English word “icon.” Just as an icon on your computer screen directs you to the main program, Jesus directs believers to the fullness of God’s glory.
As the “icon,” Jesus is the exact, flawless replica of God. For that reason, Jesus could say, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). What has Jesus taught you about the Father?

John 10:30 "I and the Father are one."
John 10:31-33 (caps added) Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?" "We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, CLAIM TO BE GOD."

Jesus is God and He is our only way to Heaven, it is stated many times in the Bible...Please email me personally if you would like to discuss this further, I would love to talk with you:
John 14-6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus is the way to Heaven
It also says in John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
We must believe in Jesus and that He died for us
John 1:1 states In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
The Word is Jesus and these verses state clearly that Jesus is God
Matthew 1:21 (this verse is talking about Mary) And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Jesus will save us from our sins
Matthew Chapter 4 discusses Satan tempting Jesus and in verse 7: Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Jesus is saying here that He is God
There is so much proof in the Bible that Jesus is God and that only through Jesus' death we are able to live in eternity with God and Jesus in Heaven.

Emmanuel means "God with us" - Jesus was Emmanuel !!!
"If you have seen me, you have seen the Father!" ... "Me and the Father are one" ... "His name shall be wonderful Counsellor, Everlasting Father" - some quotes from the Bible representing Jesus Christ's identity as the "Father" ... GOD !!!

Jesus said" Before Abraham was, I AM." with these words Jesus set Himself apart from every other person, with these words He said I (Jesus) am God.
