John 8:58:
"I am" in John's Gospel
The Expository Times, 1996, page 302 by Kenneth Mckay.
"The verb 'to be' is used differently, in what is presumably its basic meaning of 'be in existence', in John 8:58: prin Abraam genesthai ego eimi, which would be most naturally translated 'I have been in existence since before Abraham was born', if it were not for the obsession with the simple words 'I am'. If we take the Greek words in their natural meaning, as we surely should, the claim to have been in existence for so long is in itself a staggering one, quite enough to provoke the crowd's violent reaction."
When accused of being god,
Jesus answered at John 10:36 do YOU say to me whom the Father sanctified and dispatched into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, I am God’s Son?
Even Jehovah at Matt 3:17 Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.”
Satan blinds people into believing that Jesus is more than the image of God.
2 Cor 4:4 among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.
Who is Jesus, He is the only begotten Son, of Jehovah God.

Basically Jesus is the Son of God who humbled Himself to become a man so that He can set us free from sin and eternity in hell. He is God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit all in one, just like water has many forms, liquid, ice, snow.
*Jesus is Human. Jesus became our supreme example as God in human form(Phil2:5-11)*Jesus is Divine. Even though Jesus became human, he still remained God(Colossians 1:15-20)*Jesus was on a mission. Jesus came to save humankind from sin(Luke 4:16-21)*Jesus was made sacrifice. Jesus endured tremendous pain so that we can enjoy eternity with Him(1Peter 2:24)*Jesus has great power to transform people. Jesus can change the most unlikely person into the most powerful witnesses on His behalf.(Acts 4:13)* Jesus has an eternal Dominion. Jesus'kingdom extends beyond the boundaries of space and time(Rev 1:4-8)

The creator of the universe. The eternal Son of God who, after Mary said "yes" to God, entered into our history 2,000 years ago by taking on a body of flesh and being born of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He is the second person of the Holy Trinity, one God in three divine eternal persons. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, all perfectly united in one almighty God. Jesus is the eternal word of God made flesh.
Jesus also shares His human DNA with the Blessed Virgin Mary, His real human Mother. And Jesus loved and honored His Mother more perfectly than any son ever loved their mother. He even protected His Mother from being recognized for who she was in His time before His arrest and crucifixion because He knew that if the wrong people knew about Her then they would have tried to kill her like they wanted to kill Him. Jesus was like us in everything except for sin.

He is the god in the Jewish mystery religion that was then adopted (or overtaken, which you can clearly read in the epistles) by gentiles. Jesus hits all the major mythic themes of these mystery religions, such as salvation, gnosis, miracles, and such. Compare the gospel stories to those of Mithras, or Dionysus, or Osiris, or Apollonius of Tyana, or Moses.
In short, he's a myth.

He's a person who thought he was a prophet but in reality was mentally ill. He did have some good points, though, and some crazy followers who took what he said and just ran with it.

3Isa ibn Maryam (PBUH) was revered prophet of God. His creation is like that of Adam. He had a mother, but no father. He was created as a "Word" from God, with the power to heal and give life to the dead, but only with God's leave.

Jesus (peace be upon him), was a prophet of God, sent as a messenger to teach people about God All-Mighty. He was not the "begotten son of God", nor God Himself. He was a wonderful prophet...but still a man.

the son of God. Jesus Christ is either a liar (yet, he is considered a good person), a lunatic (yet, he remained calm under instense pressure), or he said who he was, LORD>
I'd go with LORD>
