It is also important to realize the fact that the Bible was written and put together several hundrad years after Jesus died. The Bible is a composition of what Jesus' close followers believed he said. There are also many different versions of the Bible which diminishes the liability of the book.
I don't believe Jesus was the son of God. He was one of Allah's many miracles. In my opinion, the error in the Bible has lead to a false identification of Jesus today believed by Christians.

No, the Bible did not record that Jesus literally said the words that YOU wanted Him to say.
But does that mean then that He is not the Son of God?
Come on, you can't be that shallow right?
When the angel Gabriel told Mary of her role in God's redemption plan, he said that the child will be the Son of the Most High God. Hey, even an angel testified to that. Not enough?
Well, what about the devil himself? In Luke 4:3 Satan tempted Jesus and said, "If you are the Son of God..." Why would Satan say that if Jesus was not the Son of God? And did Jesus said, "No no I am not the Son of God! You got the wrong dude hotrod!" Not enough?
What about the demons? In Luke 8:28 when the demons (Legion) was confronted by Jesus the demons called out to Him as the Son of the Most High God not to torment them. Still not enough?
Lastly, Jesus DID claimed to be the Son of God but His own words were probably not recorded. How do I know this? Out from His enemies' mouths! In John 19:7 it is recorded that the Jewish leaders replied, “We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God!” Now why would the Jewish leaders accuse Him of that if He never claimed that?
So there you have it. Evidence is clear for all to see, if you have the eyes to see. If you still deny this, it shows that your problem is not with the evidence, it is that you NEVER wanted to know the truth in the first place, but just another hardcore anti-Christ among many others.

John 10:36,37
do YOU say to me whom the Father sanctified and dispatched into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, I am God’s Son? Â If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me
UH HALO? The statement is within the question. His is questioning why the Pharisees are accusing him of blasphemy for making THE STATEMENT "I am God's Son" If you're point is to say that Jesus never claimed to be God's son then, with respect, you are grasping at straws by dismissing this scripture. Besides, there are many other scriptures, many many, where Jesus implied it though he never uttered the same words. If I say, "Why don't you talk to my father, Mr. John Smith?", are you going to dismiss that as not being sufficient proof that Mr. Smith is my father? Just because I did not flat out say the words "John Smith is my father"?

This is an excellent question.
Jeanmarie is right. I will give yet one more example (and perhaps one of the most compelling ones) to prove that Jesus never considered Himself t be God: When Jesus was on the cross and bleeding, he said: "Father, why hast thou forsaken me?". He was obviously not spaking to himself and he was asking for help from God, the creator, the one he was turning to in his time of need. Just as we all turn to God in our time of need. There are many proofs that Jesus never said that He was God. It's just human nature to have raised him to God like stature out of love for Him. Unfortunately loving someone and changing the truth to glorify Him to the level of God, isn't a good idea. They're not doing anyone any favors.

Ask and you shall receive.
In many places Jesus calls God 'Father', and in John 14:9 it says,
9 And Jesus said unto him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father"?
The read John 17, Jesus' prayer to His Father in heaven.
1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,
2 "as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.
3 "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
4 "I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.
5 "And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

(John 10:31-36) 31Â Once more the Jews lifted up stones to stone him. 32Â Jesus replied to them: “I displayed to YOU many fine works from the Father. For which of those works are YOU stoning me?” 33Â The Jews answered him: “We are stoning you, not for a fine work, but for blasphemy, even because you, although being a man, make yourself a god.” 34Â Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said: “YOU are gods”’? 35Â If he called ‘gods’ those against whom the word of God came, and yet the Scripture cannot be nullified, 36Â do YOU say to me whom the Father sanctified and dispatched into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, I AM GOD'S SON?
Close enough?

Jesus was created the almighty has always been here, these are the scriptures to prove it.
John 6:19 "Most truly I say to you the son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative but only what he beholds the father doing.
(Colossians 1:15-17) . . .5 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist,
(Revelation 3:14) 14 “And to the angel of the congregation in La·o·di·ce´a write: These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God,
(Acts 7:55) 55Â But he, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand,
(Revelation 1:1) 1 A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John,
(Revelation 7:10) 10Â And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
