Going 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."

I agree. Nowhere did Jesus claim in the Bible that he was God.

Please read deeper into the bible before voicing your opinion.Prayer is more than just bowing down,and praying.Jesus labored in prayer.They say he prayed so hard he bled from the pores of his skin.
Jesus Christ is the son of God,and he is risen and alive forever more.
John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
John 16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

No, because he says these things also: "I and the Father are one." "If you have seen the Son, you have seen the Father." "I am." (Jews would have recognized this as the name that God gave for himself when he spoke to Moses.) Unlike what some will certainly say, Jesus did indeed claim to be God.
Jesus submits his will to the will of the Father, yet he is equal to the Father. He will be the one to judge all in the end. He will be the one to rule as the King of Kings.
If he were merely a prophet, Jesus would not have accepted the worship of anyone. Angels and prophets refused worship and directed it toward God, but Jesus accepted and rewarded it.

As shocking as it sounds, He did! We (humans) fell from grace becasue of our disobedience... which was based in doing our own will (desire for independance) rather then the will of the one who created us. Because God is Holy, we could not longer remain in his presence less we be destroyed. Because God created us for fellowship, he didn't throw us away... but instead decided to redeem us. He did this by sending himself in the form of a human... what binds you and I to Hell is our sins, but the one God sent did not have any sin throughout his entire life, so when He died (was killed), the Devil had no hold on him. If you recall some angels around the time of Noah came with good intentions, but failed (got currupted by the Devil). The passage you talk about is where Jesus knows his time is up, He is about to be taken captive and be crucified to fulfill the Hebrew Bible. Because he was human (had emotions and felt pain), he was no doubt suffering from anxiety... knowing what was to come. He however did the right thing, did not chose his own will... but rather the will of him who sent him (God). Some Christians focus on the cross as the act that brought salvation to mankind... while I agree I think we must not neglect the life Jesus lived so that his blood would be worth anything. The cost being complete obedience... it is hard to fathom how much love He must have had for us as well as God to remain so faithful even to the end (self-sacrifice). This is why, Jesus was more then a prophet... for even angels have failed in their attempt to remain holy in this falled world... but God succeeded.

No, he was a PART of God, not the whole God, and not a prophet. Mohammed is a false prophet.
If you dont like me crticizing your belief, dont crticize mine.

they already know that he is a human prophet from God, and God knows what's wisper in their heart. being traditionally believing is different than certainly believing.
