He paved the way for us, by dying for our sins..."I exist and have the idea of God who is sovereign, eternal, infinity, unchangeable, all knowing, all powerful, and the universal creater of all things"....it all begins with him, for one man to shoulder the sins of the world...does this not prove that he is God?.......why is this not enough to believe for so many?......by the way this question is not to convert anyone.....it's just a question.

Jesus was a person who left behind an example. He is not the answer to everything, else we would not be here answering people's questions.
And to take your question as a whole, it does not mean he is THE God, as there are many gods in the bible. Even Satan was referred to as a god. Languages have many ways words can be translated. Taking certain references in the Bible out of context could lead one to believe that Jesus was proclaiming himself to be God. My big question here is why would he talk to himself if he was God? He said, "My God, My God. Why have you forsaken me?" when he was impaled on the totrute stake. Why would a divine entity talk to himself? Does that serve any purpose? I am also skeptical about the self-resurrection. How can someone who is dead wish they were not? Doesn't haveing that power negate the purpose of dying in the first place? By the way, the teachign of the trinity (father, son, holy spirit) was introduced over 300 years after the last apostle died. If this is a TRUE teaching, wouldn't Jesus or at least one of his apostles have mentioned it earlier than the Council of Nicea?
Who gave me life in the first place? I attribute that to my mother and father. How we got here is undetermined, how I got here is quite simple.

The book of john says it best," In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men."
That says it all for me!

It is obvious to those who know God. God reveals himself to those who seek him and have value in him. To those who do not have his revelation it is all foriegn.he is available to all that seek him unfortunately many will not. some will choose this life over that which is promised and many will choose to believe a lie. It is why we still live under the grace of Jesus Christ. Soon we will live in his kingdom.

He himself said he was sent to do God's will.
Jesus is a god. He is a mighty god. But he is not the One True God.
Joh 8:42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.
Joh 20:17 Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"

?
Because I don't believe anything that
A) cant be proven or justified through understanding
B)has been used as a crutch to justify war, murder, and torture
C)has been used as a crutch to make money
When you say, "he paved the way for us, by dying for our sins", you are forgetting something HUGE!!!!!....what about all the people that lived and died before Jesus' time? Are they simply all screwed because they never had a chance to hear his message?
WHO GAVE ME LIFE IN THE FIRST PLACE???
UMMMM MY PARENTS GENIUS. We can create life ourselves in a test tube, remember?

Jesus is supposed to be the SON of the omnipotent being known as "God." As it has been proven, he died not for our sins, but for the political fear that he could convert peasants of Rome.

Jesus could have made a great carpenter, if only he'd stuck with it.
