Please don't equate lord with god. The word lord is very commonly referred to Judges and people of high status.

Jesus pbuh never said in any version/edition of bible that I am god or worship me.
Bible contradicts. Bible says son of man and son of god.

We Muslims believe, that Jesus was one of the mightiest messengers of God that he was the Christ, that he was born miraculously without any male intervention (which many modern-day Christians do not believe today), that he gave life to the dead by God's permission and that he healed those born blind and the lepers by god's permission. In fact, no Muslim is a Muslim if he or she does not believe in Jesus!"

Nowhere did Jesus literally say that. But must He utter those four words literally to be literally God? I don't think so. The NT is full of evidences (not on your terms but the writers' terms) that teaches that Jesus is no less than God. The Jewish leaders knew He claimed to be equal with God and did things that only God could do. Jesus accepted the worship of men that could only be rightly given to God. True, though men are often called lords to refer to their status, the usage of that word is defined by its context. Since Jesus was no earthly judge or any person of official government status, why do people call Him Lord then? For fun? Nope. They called Him Lord because He is Lord! And it is Lord in the divine sense.

Show where Jesus literally says "I am not God"

But for your info

"And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN" John 17:5

"All that belongs to the Father is mine" John 16:15

"Before Abraham was born, I AM!" John 8:58

Clearly the Bible says Jesus was greater than anyone else. The only distinction made is between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

He never says that in so many words. There is, though, John 10:30, "The Father and I are one." Not clear cut, but strongly indicative.

This is, by the way, very strongly related to the "trinity" questions that are posted from time to time, with pretty much the same answer.

Edit: Oh, I'm sorry, luv. I sort of figured when I started the answer with "he never said that in so many words", it would be obvious that I understood the word "literally". But that assumes you actually read the entire answer. My bad.

Why is everyone misinterpreting "I am one with God." Jesus isn't saying I am God, that is blasphemous. He is saying I know God and "am at one with God" in the sense that he actually FEELS Gods presence. In no way does that make him God.
In Jesuss' time I'm sure he never said I am God, and the Son of God so you must pray to me.
He said he was the WORD of God and to FOLLOW him, and what he said would lead you into paradise and let you be "at one" with God.
The leaders and such after Jesus died were the ones that said Jesus was God and that you should pray to him, and this holy spirit, and to God.
Jesus never said any of these things.

John 8:24, "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." (NKJV)
John 8:58, "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" See Exodus 3:14
John 13:19, "I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am He."
Jesus is God and a man at the same time.
Jesus was not getting angry, like some said here, when people worshipped Him or called Him good. Study the Bible first, before making false statements!

What's mostly established in the New Testament synoptic gospels is Jesus Christ's divine Sonship. That's obvious from any reading of the scriptures. An old Testament name for the God of Israel is "I Am." Jesus essentially ascribed this title to himself in the New Testament. (Read John 8:57-59.) He also said "I and my Father are one." This oneness is of purpose, will, and doctrine. The Son is a God as well as the Father. And they are called One God because of this unity of nature, purpose, and will. Jesus even went as far as saying he that hath seen me hath seen the Father, because they were so similar in appearance and attitude. In fact, Jesus Christ did nothing in any situation that the Father wouldn't do in that very same situation. John 14:10 "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." and John 8:29 "And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him." So we see that Jesus was truly one with the Father in all things, except in body.

Nowhere. He never claimed to be God. In prayer, Jesus called his Father the only true God. John 17:3. He referred to himself as God's Son.

Misinformed persons refer to John 10:30 to prove that Jesus was either claiming to be God or he was claiming equality with his Father. This is, of course, incorrect. Jesus was actually saying that he and his Father were in agreement concerning the care of the sheep which his Father had given him. In John 17:11, Jesus prayed and asked his Father that his followers "may be one just as we are one."

Christ was angry even at being called Master and Good. He always reserved the highest glory to His Father in Heaven, Who is also the Father of all other Prophets.
