I agree 100% to your claim. People who reject it, do not understand.
God is the Creator of everything, the Sustainer, whom all creatures and everything that exists need. Without God, we won't be here. He is the one who created us, and other people. He is the one who helps us and guides us. Whatever we do, is what He wrote down for us to do. God is the One who gives life and death. God is One, alone, with no family or relatives, and is independent, far above Perfect. And He does not comit sin, verily He is the Most Forgiving.
So if Jesus was God, why didn't He kill the people?
Why didn't he save himself?
Why did he ask God for help!?
Why did he mention God!?
He didn't say I am God did he?
Didn't he say worship thy God in heavens?
If Jesus was God, and God is the one who created us and others, then who is creating the people who live now?
How is everything living, becuase 'God' is dead?
How can God die?
Why would God die for our sins?
If God wishes, He forgives us, there was no need for Him to come down and die for our sins?
How comes we still comit sin now, and ask for God to forgive us?
Why do we turn to God for help?
Isn't God dead?
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. (From the NIV Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4)"
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. (From the NIV Bible, Mark 12:29)"
Notice also how Jesus said "our God", which included him to be under GOD Almighty's creation and Divine Authority, and not someone or an entity that is equal to GOD Almighty.
The Bible's New Testament also records Jesus saying: ""Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good–except God alone." (From the NIV Bible, Mark 10:18)"
If Jesus doesn't consider himself as "good", then how can any sane person put him on the same level as GOD Almighty?
I have yet to see a good answer to this one by any polytheist trinitarian.
Also, another important point to notice in Mark 10:18 is the word "alone": ""Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good–except God alone." (From the NIV Bible, Mark 10:18)"
Jesus in this verse is clearly giving exclusivity to GOD Almighty when he said "alone". If Jesus was truly part of GOD Almighty and/or the trinity lie was true, then Jesus, to say the least, would not have said that.

Jesus is not God. He did claim to be the son of God, did not refute those who claimed him to be the son of God, told his disciples he was the son of God, or at the very least allowed them to believe he was (Matthew 7:21, 10:32, 33, 11:25-27, 26:63, 64, Mark 3:11, 12, Luke 4:41, John 1:34, 49, 50, 11:25-27, 20:30, Acts 9:20, Galatians 2:20, 21, 1John 4:15, 1John 5:5, 20, Hebrews 4:14).
Even IF Jesus was God, helping himself would have removed the ransom sacrifice needed to redeem mankind to God, so he would have defeated his own purpose. You are right about one thing- Jesus never claimed to be God himself, and God has no "partners" or parts!

I hesitate to try and answer such a profound question, but I'll try to give you my own personnal thoughts. Jesus did not help himself when he was on the cross because He was obeying the will of the Father (God). Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, gave himself up and suffered the punishment that all sinners (you and me) deserve, so that all who repent of sin and trust that Jesus is the son of God will be forgiven. The Bible says all have sinned and fallen short. Therefore, all deserve to be punished by God, but God loved the world so much, he sent Jesus to take the punishment we deserve. If anyone believes in Jesus as the son of God, his sins will be forgiven and the rightousness of Jesus will be credited to him, so he will be made right in the eyes of God. I'm no biblical scholar, but there is evidence in the Bible Jesus is the son of God, that is God Himself. It says that in the beginning there was the word and the word was with God and was God. Jesus identifies Himself as the word. It also says Jesus is the only name under heaven by which we must be saved. I urge you to study this further. A lot depends on it!

before Jesus got here interior the flesh, we are informed that sinners who repented have been saved by faith interior the bogus slayed animal sacrifices defined by God. and prefer those of in the present day, they had to end sinning (that's what repenting ability). the rather atonement, even nevertheless, got here approximately with suitable timing while Jesus grew to alter into the final sacrifice those animals prefigured. So before Jesus got here, the folk regarded forward to the pass at the same time as those after, look lower back to the atonement on the pass. as a result, in a fashion, you're suited: it is the comparable for people who repent of their sins. for people who do not, there is not any sacrifice or heaven. It somewhat does not have mattered while God could have chosen to deliver Jesus to earth yet being gracious as he's, He gave mankind all the prophecies needed to assist guy understand the genuine Messiah and instruct, as quickly as lower back, that God retains His supplies you related to salvation and judgments. He could not have made those any clearer.

with all due respect, in the bible god did say "Unto you a child is born. His name shall be called JESUS". But shed some light to the question, He was a human because he went to the garden of eden and cried and prayed to his father. When he came out of the garden, that's when he was arrested, on trail, and put on the cross. When he was on the cross, didn't do that 'cause he was there for all generations. He did this for all of us. If he would of done that, then we won't have a way out or even nobody to look to at all. There wouldn't be any heaven or hell. We would be still under the old testiment and laws.

Jesus could have left the cross at any time - He chose not to - He chose to be the sacrifice for your sins. Yes, Jesus is God - He was in the beginning with God, and through Him all was created.
Yes Jesus did claim to be the Son of God:
Matthew 16:13-16
13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"
14They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
15"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
16Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ,[b] the Son of the living God."
17Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.
Yes He does claim to be God:
Matthew 27:11
11Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"
"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied.
Mark 14:60-62
60Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?" 61But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.
Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ,[f] the Son of the Blessed One?"
62"I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
He chose the words 'I AM' as the same Name God gave to Moses on the mountain - the Pharisees knew this and called it blasphemy - He was calling Himself God.

Because The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ God on The Cross on earth, was the price to save the mens on earth from the slavery of their sins.

The basic theology is that Jesus, as God Incarnate, had to completely experience human suffering and death, and then resurrection from the human limitation of death, to be able to fully know humanity AND to fully save them by opening up the "Doors of Heaven" after said resurrection. Jesus can't claim to be the Son of God or God in the NT because he didn't write it! He is, however, called the Son of God and the Son of Man in the NT(and, secondhandedly, refers to himself in these terms), which was written by Jesus' disciples and their later followers. These two terms were common, yet important theological terms used at that time. Later theological brainstorming and understanding came to embrace the idea of the Trinity, and therefore Jesus as part of the direct essence of God. So...that is the explanation. However, do you ask for actual clarification and understanding or just to further your own position by grandstanding???

Because YAHOSHUA was indeed truly Almighty, and because only His death would satisfy THE LAW! and because He could not just change the Law. Only His death would save me! That is the only reason for His death. If He is not the Son Of God, He is A) a raving lunatic, and B) an imposter and C) a fool (not a great man)

For one thing, he had to surrender the flesh in order to ascend to Heaven. And in the process of doing so, he took all innate sin with him.
Some doubters like to cite his words, "My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?" as an indication that he wasn't also God, but he was actually quoting a verse from the 22nd Psalm, which then goes on to be a hymn of great joy.
