You are operating under the false assumption that Jesus IS God.
He is NOT.
He is God's SON.
Two separate individuals.
Almighty God [ Jehovah]
CREATED JESUS.
Proverbs 8; 22-31
And please dont bring out the old 'chestnut'
John 1;1.
Because John 1;2 states that the 'word', jesus, was WITH [ alongside] God [ his Father]
Jesus was "a" god, a spiritual being,,, just like Satan is a 'god'.
(2 Corinthians 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.

There is no such thing as the Trinity, This is largest lie that Satan uses to keep people from knowing who the True God is, if he can do this, he's got you.
“Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36) How do these words confirm that Jesus is not Almighty God?
Jesus says that the Father knows more than the Son does. If Jesus were part of Almighty God, however, he would know the same facts as his Father. So, then, the Son and the Father cannot be equal. Yet, some will say: ‘Jesus had two natures. Here he speaks as a man.’ But even if that were so, what about the holy spirit? If it is part of the same God as the Father, why does Jesus not say that it knows what the Father knows?
1st of all Jesus said: He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.
Jesus’ being called the “only-begotten Son” does not mean that the other spirit creatures produced were not God’s sons, for they are called sons as well. However, by virtue of his being the sole direct creation of his Father, the firstborn Son was unique, different from all others of God’s sons, all of whom were created or begotten by Jehovah through that firstborn Son. So “the Word” was Jehovah’s “only-begotten Son” in a particular sense,
Jesus is also “Mighty God” and “Eternal Father.” This does not mean that he usurps the authority and position of Jehovah, who is “God our Father.” (2 Corinthians 1:2) “He [Jesus] gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.” (Philippians 2:6) He is called Mighty God, not Almighty God. Jesus never thought of himself as God Almighty, for he spoke of his Father as “the only true God,” that is, the only God who should be worshiped. (John 17:3;
Rev. 1:1; 3:14, RS: “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him, why did God have to give the revelation to Jesus, if he is God? .
Does the Bible teach that none of those who are said to be included in the Trinity is greater or less than another, that all are equal, that all are almighty? Mark 13:32, RS: “Of that day or that hour no ones knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Of course, that would not be the case if Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were coequal, comprising one Godhead. And if, as some suggest, the Son was limited by his human nature from knowing, the question remains, Why did the Holy Spirit not know?)
John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.”
1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven.
A person who is really seeking to know the truth about God is not going to search the Bible hoping to find a text that he can construe as fitting what he already believes. He wants to know what God’s Word itself says. He may find some texts that he feels can be read in more than one way, but when these are compared with other Biblical statements on the same subject their meaning will become clear. It should be noted at the outset that most of the texts used as “proof” of the Trinity actually mention only two persons, not three; so even if the Trinitarian explanation of the texts were correct, these would not prove that the Bible teaches the Trinity.

Jesus was the first one created by God according to Colossians 1:15. He reflects God's qualities perfectly, being his first born Son.

Did Jesus ever claim to be God? No. At John 10:36, he called himself God's Son.

Jesus is God. Two of the most confusing terms that are in action with this are the words "son" and "father." Because of our stereo types of these 2 words we have failed to see the original meaning they once held. To us a father is some one whom is involved in giving birth to us and vice versal. However, the Father and Son relationsip means to "come from." Or to "originate from." Thus when we review this defination again we see that to say Jesus is the son of God it means to say Jesus "came from" God or Jesus' orgins were of God.

to say that jesus is God is like saying you just fit the entire pacific ocean into a water balloon, it just cannot be done, god worked through Jesus, close as he could come to being human, but God was still god, and jesus was more of an avatar

Jesus was a man. Jesus never declared himself to be a God- if he did, he was stark raving mad....
I really feel sorry for people who ignore his amazing words about peace and charity, and decide to worship him as a God. The Jesus worshippers miss the point. Jesus was a messenger- but he was as human as you or I...Don't worship Jesus as a God- but rather, follow his example, by helping others- feed the hungry, heal the sick. This 'worship jesus or burn in hell' crap was propaganda invented by the Christian church as a way to use fear to force people to follow thier religion. Pathetic!
Jesus had a beautiful messge, but his message was to help people--not to worship him!

Jesus, like any other human being or creature was created by God.
Jesus, like the other prophets is a human being.
Jesus is a prophet.
Jesus is not God.

Your statement is out of ur faith, i respect it.
However God is not a body, religion or a name. God pervades complete universe without getting touched by it.

So could God make this statement?
"For I so loved the world that I sacrificed Myself to Myself to appease My own anger at My own creation." - God
