The Christians could only claim that Jesus called himself the son of God. Never ever once did he claim Blatantly that he is God.

In the language of the Jew, every righteous person who followed the Will of God, was a Son of God. It was a metaphorical descriptive term. Look at the following verses :

"....Adam, which was the Son of God" - Luke 3:38

"And when the Sons of God came in unto the daugthters of men, and they bare children to them..." - Genesis 6: 4

"....Israel is My Son, even my firstborn" - Exodus 4:22

"...for I (God) am a Father to Israel, and Ephraim is my Firstborn" - Jeremiah 31:9

"...the Lord hath saith unto me, (David) Thou art My Son: this day have I Begotten thee" - Psalm 2:7

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God" - 1 Romans 8:14

One can see from the above verses that God has sons by the tons.

Christians cant even claim that Jesus is the Only Begotten Son cos if you look above at Psalms 2:7, David is also mentioned as Begotten.

Christians, lets be open and straight. If Jesus was truly God himself, there was no need for him to beat around the bush. He has always said that the only way to God is through him. Isn't it the same for the prophets who came before him? Through Abraham, Isaac, David, Joseph, Jacob, Moses people worshipped the one and only God. It was through them that the One Almighty God was known.

It is the same with Jesus. His mission was the same as of the other prophets before him. And it was the same mission of the Prophet Muhammad, worship the one and only God.

People claim that the Prophet Muhammad is a false prophet. Anyone who looks at his life without prejudice will know that he was a gem of a human. If power, authority and wealth was what he wanted, he could have lived a Kingly life after his victorious entry to Mecca. Did he live like that? He led such a simple life that people who did know him as a prophet, were surprised when told that he was the prophet Muhammad. He still slept on the floor, only ate dry bread and led a very very simple life. He did not leave behind anything as WEALTH for his family. He was a true prophet and the Seal of All the prophets. After him, there will be no more Prophets. It is coming to almost 1500 years, and there were people who claimed that they were prophets, but, what happened to them? No address of them now.

So, Jesus was not God or the Son of God. He was just a messenger who came to deliver the Message just like the prophets before him and like the Prophet Muhammad.

No.
In these verses from the Bible (KJ) he was clearly acknowledging that he is not God and God is greater than him.
And these are just a few examples - there are several more:

'Jesus answered, "The first is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one" ' Mark 12:29
'And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. ' Mark 10:18
"Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I." John 14:28
'But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.' Matthew 24:36
'But he withdrew to the wilderness and prayed.' Luke 5:16 (ie why would he need to pray to God if he is God!)

God is God. Jesus was 'The Messiah' and 'The Son of Man'
( may the Peace and Blessings of God be upon him).

eg :
'For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'? 6 But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" --he then said to the paralytic--"Rise, take up your bed and go home." Matthew 9: 5-6

No. The expression “to worship” is defined in a dictionary this way: “To regard with great, even extravagant respect, honor, or devotion.” Who should be given such worship? Jesus Christ said: “You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.” (Matthew 22:37) Also, when offered all the kingdoms of the world if he would perform just one “act of worship” to Satan, Jesus refused, declaring: “It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.” (Luke 4:7, 8) From Jesus’ words and actions, it is clear that only Jehovah God is to be worshiped.

At Matt. 6:9, Jesus instructed his followers to pray to Jehovah. Would it make sense for his followers to pray to the Father while worshiping Jesus at the same times? No!

He certainly claimed to be the Christ, on numerous occasions. He repeatedly claimed to be the Son of God, and He instructed that only through Him could man come to God (the Father). Jesus claimed that all judgments would be His, as God the Father had given Him that authority. The actual issuance of instructions to worship Him is not in the Bible that I know of, but until His death and resurrecting that would not have been appropriate.

No; he didn't said yet !!.
Here you are the proofs:
1- If he said that ( I'm God ) ; the God didn't die yet , but Jesus died , so that he isn't God.
2 - If he said that ( I'm son of God ); why her father let him to jewishes to crucify him and do nothing.
In the Judgment day, Jesus will disown from anyone said that and who say that will be torment in the hell. The God is one and haven't any son or no one with him . Jesus haven't got a father and Adam haven't got a mother but the other peoples have father and mother . That's explain the absolute capacity of our God not to take an assistant with him .

Before the crucification and resurrection of Jesus Christ, he was a complete man with the Spirit of God in him. He was with the mortal body as all others had. These times he taught people to worship God, he also prayed to God the Father.

But after the resurrection, he put on the body of immortality over the mortal one. Thus he could enter in the room which closed still he could made Thomas to feel His hands and Side. This is the Heavenly body of immortality.

After the resurrection his disciples worshiped Him when they met Him, but he never told them not to worship him as He did before the crucification.

This shows that He took His Godliness after the resurrection.

Mathew 28 : 16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

Luke 24 : 51And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

52And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

53And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

John 20 : 27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

28And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

29Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

30And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

No He didn't say... But it doesn't mean that He is not God. And hebrews 1:6 says And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

Jesus said, "I and the Father are one." (John 10:30). He did not ask to be worshiped, but he often instructed his followers to worship their Father in heaven.

The new testament is a set of documents written by people who believe Jesus is god. We have no way to verify if what it claims Jesus said, he actually said.

Not outright, but there are many things He said which point to the fact that He at least THOUGHT He was God. He never would have come right out and said those things in public; He would have been killed immediately for blasphemy. So He was careful.
