because if he was so called son of god.why didn't he say there will be false gods after me instead of false prophets?

Exactly.....Jesus was a prophet. He never claimed to be God or even the son of God. Trinity was an idea that came hundreds of years after him. If you go to any encyclopedia and search trinity, you will be provided with the name of the guy that made up the trinity and what year he made it up in. Trinity was neither practiced nor preached by Jesus (pbuh)!

Of course Jesus is a prophet. All a prophet does is declare the truth about God to the world. As such, Jesus is the greatest prophet ever. He is the true witness of Revelation. He is also, God Himself, one with the Father, and yet, a separate entity. Human minds can not comprehend the trinity. That does not mean it can not exist. We can not comprehend infinity either, yet mathmaticians will swear that infinity exists.
Jesus' warning about false prophets shows that there will not only be false prophets, but also true ones. If prophecy stopped with Jesus, then He would have said every person proclaiming to be a prophet will be false. Instead, prophecy is a gift of the Holy Spirit given to the church. It will remain in the church until it is no longer needed. As such, the Bible has tests to discover if a prophet is true of false.

Any man that speaks the word of God as did Jesus is a prophet
There are false Prophets in the world but that suggests that there are true Prophets also you have to look for them.
True Prophets are seldom accepted in the society in which they live as was the case with Jesus and john the Baptist because they made some people a lot of people uncomfortable with the truth
On the other hand false prophets always fitted in in what was popular opinion of the day and were seldom stoned, or killed, or beheaded,

Well, i beleive he was both the greatest prophet and the son of God. A prophet delivers a message and fulfills an assignment and Jesus did both of those , besides being the fulfillment of many prophecies about a messiah in the Hebrew Scriptures. Many of Jesus' prophecies are in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. He called himself the son of God and the Son of man. Hebrews chapter 1 helps explain his relationship to God and how he outranks even the angels.
I should probably clarify that I don't beleive he is God, only God's firstborn creation and master worker. Proverbs 8 ; 22- 31

No, it doesn’t suggest anything. It was a direct warning to the human race to beware and always test things, because in this world walks deception on all levels. Jesus knew God would not show Christ again through another man, so he did not say “false gods after me.”

What you are concluding from that quotation isn't entirely correct. All it means is that there will be false prophets after him. It doesn't mean he is a prophet. Perhaps there won't be any false gods after him, only false prophets.

Your logic is a bit flawed.
If I'm a Ford, and tell you that there will be a Toyota following me, then I'm not a Toyota, am I?
Jesus as God (God can prophesy) can warn us of false teachers, false brethren, lying signs and wonders, and false prophets without being one Himself.

That's a good point to repudiate any future claims to the (I am the Messiah) title. I once asked a devout Christian about inconsistencies, contradictions and obvious similarities between Judaism, Christianity and many older religions? He told me it was all an elaborate plan of the Devil to confuse the righteous before the true religion and Jesus came? How do you make any sense out of this superstitious pretzel logic. I guess it's all just a matter of choosing what you want to believe in and defending the concept no matter how illogical it is.

when He said there would be false prophets after me, He did not mean they would come in His same form and fashion. He meant that after He had departed and went back to heaven, that false prophets would arise on the scene. He said you would know the trees by their fruit.
