In the Bible we are told to give God the glory for all things. It seems that Jesus always glorified his GOd or Father when he did things .... saying .... he was only given authority given to him ....
So ..... was Jesus glorifying God or himself ???

I've always wondered that too. And why, if they are 3 in 1, what about the Holy Ghost.
No one ever prays to the Holy Ghost, do they? Is he powerless? Is he only for impregnating virgins? Why is he not to be worshipped equally?

Dis Jesus say "I am God" or "I am equal to God"
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word..........
The Christians are fond of using the above verse. Pls note that these are not the words of Jesus. They are the words of John. Acknowledged by every Christian scholars of the Bible as being the words of a Jew, Philo of Alexandria, who had written them even before John and Jesus was born. And Philo claimed No Divine Inspiration for them.
Jesus was neither God nor the Son of God nor The Holy Spirit. He was a man, a prophet who came with a message just like the prophets before him.
He was a Jew and the Jews did not accept him. The Christians have deify him and made him God.
What is the meaning of this verse John 18:36?
My Kingdom is Not of This World. If my kingdom were of this world then would my servants fight, that i should not be delivered to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence".
Read the above verses many times. You will agree that Jesus claimed a spiritual kingdom only which means he claimed to be a Prophet Only and Not GOD.

Jesus is glorifying his Father. Jesus is a separate, distinct personage than the father. When Stephen was stoned (as found in the Book of Acts) he saw Jesus standing on the right hand of God, just prior to Stephen's death. He saw two distinct persons, Jesus could not do this if he and god were the same person.

God was outside of eternity when He came to earth as a man. He also was being a model for us.
Am I sure? Positive! The Bible says so in many passages. For example: Who is the First and the Last? It is YHWH...
Isa 41:4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I YHWH, the first, and with the last; I am he.
Isa 48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Who is the First and the Last? It is YHWH and His Redeemer
Isa 44:6 Thus saith the YHWH the King of Israel, and his redeemer the YHWH of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Who is the First and the Last? It is YHWH it is Yeshua, the Redeemer, the Almighty.
Re 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Re 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last:
Re 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Re 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Re 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Re 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

He was glorifying the Father, the Creator.
Why is it that many like you can't understand simple scripture. Are you not a grandson, son, and nephew/granddaughter, daughter, and niece. Three different titles, but one in the same.
Yes to your question "Are you sure Jesus is God?"

When God comes to this material world, HE does not get a material body(flesh) He descends in His original spiritual form. Jesus the good son of God and we are the bad sons of God, that is the difference.

God. Jesus is God's Son. God's Son Is the same God. They are ONE GOD in 3 PERSONS. I know it is a hard concept to understand but just believe and have faith and it will all make sense.
