No, and Jesus did not believe He was the Almighty God either.
‘But isn’t Jesus called a god in the Bible?’ someone may ask. This is true. Yet Satan is also called a god. (2 Corinthians 4:4) At John 1:1, which refers to Jesus as “the Word,” some Bible translations say: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” But notice, verse 2 says that the Word was “in the beginning with God.” And while men have seen Jesus, verse 18 says that “no man hath seen God at any time.” (Authorized or King James Version) So we find that some translations of verse 1 give the correct idea of the original language when they read: “The Word was with God, and the Word was divine,” or was “a god,” that is, the Word was a powerful godlike one. (An American Translation) Clearly, Jesus is not Almighty God. In fact, Jesus spoke of his Father as “my God” and as “the only true God.”
Did Jesus ever say that he was God? No, he never did. Rather, in the Bible he is called “God’s Son.” And he said: “The Father is greater than I am.” Also, Jesus explained that there were some things that neither he nor the angels knew but that only God knew. (Mark 13:32) Further, on one occasion Jesus prayed to God, saying: “Let, not my will, but yours take place.” (Luke 22:42) If Jesus were the Almighty God, he would not have prayed to himself, would he? In fact, following Jesus’ death, the Scripture says: “This Jesus God resurrected.” (Acts 2:32) Thus the Almighty God and Jesus are clearly two separate persons. Even after his death and resurrection and ascension to heaven, Jesus was still not equal to his Father.
As for the “Holy Spirit,” the so-called third Person of the Trinity, this is not a person but God’s active force. John the Baptizer said that Jesus would baptize with holy spirit, even as John had been baptizing with water. Hence, in the same way that water is not a person, holy spirit is not a person. (Matthew 3:11) What John foretold was fulfilled when, following the death and resurrection of Jesus, holy spirit was poured out on his followers gathered in Jerusalem. The Bible says: “They all became filled with holy spirit.” (Acts 2:4) Were they “filled” with a person? No, but they were filled with God’s active force. Thus the facts make clear that the Trinity is not a Bible teaching. Actually, long before Jesus walked the earth gods were worshiped in groups of three, or trinities, in places such as ancient Egypt and Babylon.

Ofcourse NO
Jesus is not god , he's not the son of god too
Jesus is just a propht of god same as all other prophets
he was created by god same like adam without a father
jesus never said that he's god or the son of god
that's a great disbelief for god

No I do not and there is no way you can "know" he is either. We hardly know anything about him. The gospels were written 40-70 years after his life time so they're surely inaccurate and just legends and tales based his life. So we can't even be sure he said the things the Bible says he said. Not to mention that even if he did say those things his words are not evidence of his divinity. Have you ever considered that the Jews don't believe he was the son of god and that they believe that just as strongly as you believe he was? And they have no more or less evidence than you do. If you were born in a Jewish family you'd believe just as they do - ever consider that? What makes you right and them wrong? Not to mention all the other religions in the world. You need to do more homework.

The teaching that Jesus is God is from the doctrine of religions of Christendom. This is the Trinity. But this teaching is wrong. Jesus is Gods son. The Bible said that God loved the world so much he gave is only-begotten son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. John 3:16.

I believe that jesus cant be God, because he is a human. I do believe he is a prophet of God though.

Jesus was God in the flesh. All these people on here who deny Christ will find out one day soon when He returns. He will reign for one thousand years during which everyone who did not accept Him as saviour will be given the opportunity. At the end of the thousand years will be the Great White Throne Judgment.
He is God because He is the Son of God. If I am Chinese and have a son, isn't my son Chinese also? Jesus is divine because His Father is divine.

If you know He is, why do you ask?
We should not throw out questions pertaining to our true God, so that short sighted Atheist who think they will just be dust when they die = can throw dust at their creator.
If you end up in hell - it is not like some people think (we will party in hell without end). Hell has no light, no joy, no companionship, no nourishment or even water,and worse no second chance. You will just regret through all eternity for choosing short sighted short lived false immature enjoyments of this very short life - and miss out on the immeasurable great things waiting for humble believers.
You may want to end your existence, but you cannot,
Just imagine one day when you die - you wake up at the judgment seat of God to explain why you choose not to obey Him - can you tell Him that you have never heard about Him
your whole life - or that you have a contempt for any power that
promises free gift of Salvation through faith ( definitely levels out rich and poor alike). Seek ye the Lord while He may be found.

The bible thinks that the earth is the center of the universe. If they got that small point completely wrong then you can be assured that jesus is NOT the "son of god" - just another inaccuarate and misleading statement.
The whole of the bible is a poor, poor work of fiction.
So to answer your question. God and Jesus are characters that were created by man kind himself.

Amen! John 1:1 says "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word WAS God"
--Also in John 10 it says "I and the Father are one" And:John 14:9
Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
-But it is not just through scriptures I know, but to just realize that Jesus defeated death and was sinless- NO one is sinless but God alone. And no one can defeat death but God alone. That right there should tell someone Jesus is God!
