In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
When Allah will say, 'O Jesus son of Mary, remember My favour upon thee and upon thy mother; When I strengthened thee with the spirit of holiness so that thou didst speak to the people in the cradle and when of middle age; and when I taught thee the Book and the wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when thou didst fashion a creation out of clay, in the likeness of a bird, by My command; then thou didst breathe into it a new spirit and it became a soaring being by My command; and thou didst heal the night-blind and the leprous by My command; and when thou didst raise the dead by My command; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from putting thee to death when thou didst come to them with clear Signs; and those who disbelieved from among them said, 'This is nothing but clear deception.'

The assumption that Jesus was God is not universal among Christians. This is a point of contention between many denominations.
However, lack of miracles would certainly seem to indicate that he was just a normal human. He obviously was not a normal human like you and me, because I doubt that either of us raised someone from the dead, or spontaniously came back to life after being dead for three days.
The idea of God being a multipart being is first introduce in the Old Testament. Actually, Genesis says that God said, "Let us create man in our image." So, who is this "us"?

If you mean according to scripture, theres lots of stuff. Can you change water to wine? Can you make a blind man see, or stop a woman from bleeding due to medical problems? Can you raise folks from the dead? Can you stop a suicidal maniac from throwing himself in the fire, and then after extracting the evil spirit from the guy, can you demand the spirit go into a herd of pigs? Can you tell a woman about her past relationships when you have only met her a minute ago? Can you walk on water?
There are lots and lots of examples of things He did that would suggest he was supernatural.

In the gospel of Thomas, Jesus as a teenager used to turn other kids into frogs and other animals. Of course, that and all the other gospels were written over a hundred years after Jesus lived, so they probably just chose the most plausible of them to include in the bible.
But I'm an atheist - I don't buy any of that stuff anyway.

He did many miracles of healing for both physically sick and those with mental and spiritual sicknesses.
The Bible speaks of some of them but it also says:
John 20:30-21:1
30 Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
(from New International Version)
John 21:25
25 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

Jesus forgave sin he also raised the dead among many miracles Jesus performed he was resurrected overcame death for all of us. If God is righteous and man is not how is man forgiven? If God said sin is okay if you repent has he not agreed with sin? If God requires that man be perfect and righteous what man has attained this? If no man is perfect but God and God chose to atone for our sin by apying the penalty of death for us that we may be with him then Jesus is God. If we are created in theimage of God and animals are not what is that image of God? Genesis chapter 2 teachs that man was formed from the dirt and God breathed in his spirit and the two became a living soul. If this eternal image is the image of God then it is the image of the trinity Father Son and Holy Spirit nad Christ is the son who atoned for our sin and that is why Christ taught that no man comes to the Father but through the Son. John 1 teachs that in the begining was the word and the word was God and the word became flesh and dwelt with man. All things were created by him and without him was not anything that was created. Jesus is the Son of god who atoned for our sin it was God's plan of salvation for his creation before he created the world. Conisder the two trees in the midst of the garden one represents God's righteousness the law that is the tree of knowledge of good and evil the other tree in the midst of the garden was the tree of life eat of this tree and they live forever. It is God's mercy and represent the salvation provided from those who do eat of the law.Tjhe law shows man he is imperfect and his need for God the law destroys man because man is not perfect but the grace provided for eternal life was the atonement of Jesus Christ who is the son of the father who was in the begining with God and is a part of the completeness of God. The same as your spirit is a part of the completeness of you.

Jesus was both fully God and fully man. He put on the flesh of a man, to be the Redeemer for all mankind so we could again stand in the prescence of holiness and purity.

He was able to miraculously heal several people. He prophecied, and his prophecies came true, even about him and the events surrounding his death, and resurrection. He walked on water, multiplied food for thousands, gave hope and life, and gave life back to a couple even that had passed over to death, other than himself. He is the only prophet to have ever died, that came back to life for eyewitnesses to see. Those are just some of the things.....he spoke to God, transfigured, on and on....

Well where to start. The virgin birth, the miracles he performed, going without sin, the wisdom, walking on water, raising from the dead, just being able to take on the sins of the world, that kind of love that just blows your mind.

OK, let's just get crazy for a minute and assume he did do all the things mentions so far, no one wrote it down until 45 or more years after his death?
Just a man, if even existed.

Jesus was fully human and had a divine nature as well, this is enough to know that He is God.
