Jesus always referred to himself as having been sent by God (John 17:3) and his followers, too, considered him a man approved BY God (Qur'an 19:37; Acts 2:22, John 3:2).
Jesus prayed to God like all other God-fearing individuals (Luke 5:16), and engaged in spiritual exercises such as fasting (Matt 4:2).
Furthermore, Jesus lacked knowledge of the future (Mark 13:32), as only the Divine Being possesses perfect and complete knowledge.
"And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..."-(MATTHEW 26:39).
This one puzzles me most. If Christianity agree that Jesus is setting examples on how to pray then why Christians not follow it?
And, behold, one came and said unto him (Jesus), "Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is NONE good but One, that is God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the Commandments.-(MATTHEW 19:16- 1

Now tell me where the hack he claim himself as "GOD"? He prayed to Aalahah (GOD) the original language of the bible. He never claim himself "I am Aalhah" Never did his deciples claim him as that.

First thing first, Jesus Christ said in In John 8:58 Jesus refering to Himself as the I AM, if your bible has a cross reference that refures back to the Ex 3:14 the burning bush, He was clear about saying He IS GOD, Yes God "SO" Loved the world that He gave His Son but Jesus gave Himself, it was A plan as first
1 PETER says this:
1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers;
1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. God the father and The second member of The Godhead Jesus came up with the plan to save mankind if they failed the test to come.
Jesus said no man knows the day or the hour of His appearing for ONE reason, so that putting off the choice to prepair to get and keep one selfs ready for the time when probation will close at death or when Christ returns. Jesus came to live as we live and Gave up A lot to be human but HE WAS AND IS FULLY GOD, the father said so, in the most popular bible text in all the bible John 3:16 it says we have eternal life through Jesus Christ so in order for Jesus to give us eternal life He has to have had it, Here is futher proof Jesus was and is divine, Matt.1:23, Jn 1:1, Jn 17:5,24, Jn 8:58, Lk 5:20-24 said He forgave sin, only God does that, Jn 20:28 Thomas called Jesus Lord and God, Heb 1:5-9 The Father Himself addressed Jesus as God. hay free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com find out more. visit A Seventh Day Adventist Church in your area.God bless. bible questions www.bibleinfo.com EMAIL not messanger me also wgr88@yahoo.com

The Bible teaches that Jesus is not merely someone who is a lot like God, or someone who has a very close walk with God. Rather, Jesus is the Most High God Himself. Titus 2:13 says that as Christians we are "looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus." Upon seeing the resurrected Christ, Thomas cried out, "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28). Likewise, the book of Hebrews gives us God the Father's direct testimony about Christ: "But of the Son He says, 'Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever" and the gospel of John calls Jesus "the only begotten God" (John 1:18).
Another way the Bible teaches that Jesus is God is by showing that He has all of the attributes of God. He knows everything (Matthew 18:20; 28:20; Acts 18:10), is everywhere (Mt 16:21; Luke 11:17; John 4:29), has all power (Mt 8:26, 27; 28:18; Jn 11:38-44; Lk 7:14-15; Revelation 1:8), depends on nothing outside of Himself for life (Jn 1:4; 14:6; 8:58), rules over everything (Mt 28:18; Rev 19:16; 1:5) never began to exist and never will cease to exist (John 1:1; 8:58), and is our Creator (Colossians 1:16). In other words, everything that God is, Jesus is. For Jesus is God.

There are many instances of Jesus making claims of divinity, if you want me to tell/quote you some email me and I will.
The reason for his subserviance to God is in his humility, because of the fact that he was physically human (despite being God) he considered this to make him less than The Father.
I hope you get this edit to my answer cause you don't allow email.
Jesus said "Before Abraham was born, I am" notice he didn't say I existed or I was already alive he said "I am" just like God told Moses when Moses asked what he should tell Pharoh God's name was.
Aslo in John 20:28 Thomas said"My Lord and My God" to Jesus after Jesus appeared to him after the resurection.
Most interestingly John 10:33 "We are not stoning you (Jesus) for any of these (miracles he performed) but for blasphemy because you a mere man CLAIM TO BE GOD".
Please look it up, and it will be clear to you that the people standing there before him 2000 years ago interpreted what he was saying to be a claim of divinity. If they were misinterpreting him surely he would have said "Hey stop that isn't what I meant" but he didn't do that, because it is exactly what he meant.

You are asking questions to which you already think you know the answer.
If you study the Old and New Testaments, you will discover that "Hear o Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord." Jesus was God wrapped in flesh. Peter recognized this when Jesus asked him, Who do you think I am?.
Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, and our soon returning King.
Not everyone that proclaims to be a Christian is actually a Christian. Actions speak louder than words. A Christian will act Christ-like.

I'm not quite clear on your question is it about how we should pray or keeping the 10 Commandments?
Jesus gives us an example of how to pray when He taught us "The Lords Prayer".
Jesus tells us it is important to keep His Father's commandments.
Just because Matthew 26:39 discusses falling on your face does not infer that is the only way to pray. We have many other examples of Jesus praying to His Father and not falling on His face.
The rest of Matthew 26:39 is not HOW but WHAT he is praying for. That is for His Father, IF GOD WANTS and not JESUS wants for Him not to go through the terrible things that are to come for Jesus to be the Saviour of the world.
39Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."
This passage also shows us that Jesus has the weights and burdened that we has humans do too. He showed us to trust in God just as He did.
------------------------------------
John 10:30
"I and the Father are one."
This is the verse where Jesus tells us that He and God are one.

There are 'cults' who say they're christian however given that they don't consider Jesus is God they don't seem to be Christian. Christianity is the perception that there's ONE God in three Divine Person. He is a Triune god. The first individual is The Father, The moment individual is the Son who's Jesus and grew to become guy and died to revive our fellowship witht he Father after Adam the primary guy sinned. The 3rd individual is The Holy Spirit who used to be despatched to the earth to be our conselor, comforter and consultant after Jesus arose into heaven as soon as he used to be resurrected from the tomb. Some of those religions say they consider in God however they don't honor Jesus as God however simplest because the son of God. This separates them from precise Christianity. You have got to consider that every one 3 individuals of the Trinity are God in 3 divine individuals, father, son, holy spirit so that you can be a real christian. This isn't the one factor that separates you from being a real christian vs a cult. I have a website online under that you'll learn so one can give an explanation for plenty of alternative methods that the recommend of church buildings makes a decision whether or not a organization is real following the Bible or changing its precise groundwork for his or her possess ideals and wishes.

Jesus was the Son of God we are sons of God he was born of a virgin by the Spirit of God he was given as the final sacrifice for the worlds sins we are children of God as Abraham was going to give his sons life to show his love for God God gave his Son to die on that cross to show his love for us Jesus is Lord of Lords and King of Kings and he sits at the right hand of the Father our God in heaven this is true believe it or not your choice.

Are you still attempting to use Y R&S to refute the Trinity? I agree the word Trinity is not used in scripture; but that does not refute the concept.

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. I believe in Jesus and believe he died to save us. He came in human form but was divine as well. He knew what was going to happen to him and he chose to do it.
