I disagree, One did claim as much:
Joh 8:58: Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am."
Or
Mar 14:61 But he remained silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"
Mar 14:62 And Jesus said, "I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."
Mar 14:63 And the high priest tore his garments and said, "What further witnesses do we need?
Mar 14:64 You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving death.
As you can see, the high priest fully understood that Jesus was claiming that He was in fact God. Some knowledge of the original Greek is warranted here, particularly the term, "Son the blessed". But there is no doubt that Christ was claiming to be God. The Jews hearing his claim understood exactly what He was saying and planned to stone Him.

God has come to me many times thru out my life and has proven beyond a shadow of doubt that He is God and that He does exist

Because he did, but he didn't claim to be *that* god.

When you come to know that you need God... if you ever do... then you will find that God will be there when you need him... How he will deal with you will probably be different than how he delt with me... but you will know who you are dealing with... there is no mistaking when it really is God.

Indoctrination during childhood = religion.
Indoctrination during adulthood = cult.
