Christ was God incarnate.
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 is a trinity of persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is not the same person as the Son; the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit is not the same person as Father. They are separate persons; yet, they are all the one God. They are in absolute perfect harmony consisting of one substance. They are co-eternal, co-equal, and co-powerful. If any one of the three were removed, there would be no God. Furthermore, God is not one person, the Father, with Jesus as a creation and the Holy Spirit as a force (Jehovah's Witnesses). Neither is He one person who took three consecutive forms, i.e., the Father who became the Son who then became the Holy Spirit (United Pentecostal). Nor is the Trinity an office held by three separate Gods (Mormonism).

1 Timothy 3:16 does not prove that Jesus was God in the flesh.
Plus, would you deny Jesus' own's claim to be the son of God?

Jesus is the son of God and He is only God in the flesh since He is a human form of God which means He is the son of God.

Jesus is God the Son, part of the trinity, who became flesh for a season. After His ascension, the Holy Spirit dwelled within the believer. One god, three different persons.

Jesus is the Son of God. The first born of all creation. Colossians 1:15. Jesus is God's first created angel, Michael.

Jesus is and was both. It is called the trinity. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. It is not something our minds can understand or fully comprehend. All these things will be explained to us when we enter the kingdom of heaven. Until then, ya gotta have faith!!

both. he wasn't literally the son, anymore than he was the bread of life, living water, or light. By Son, he is the express image of God, God in the flesh.

Both. 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood[a] it. Remember ! 1 God , 3 persons Father, Son, Holy Spirit. It the mystery of the trinity

if the scriptures are the proof then why are you asking ? think about this though , what if jesus is satan in the flesh and the whole idea of " christianity " is a hoax ? do you think god would sacrifice himself or his only son , by crucifixion , if he , or she , knew that the whole world would use his death as a means to bilk honest folks out of their own ? sounds like something the devil would do , if you asked me .
