Jesus never said he was God. He acknowledged Jehovah as God and said he is the “Son of God” and the “Son of Man”. Are some people confused and do you believe this bothers Jesus and God to hear this mix up? Jesus said he is the light. Meaning he is the light who was sent to get you threw the wilderness. He is Gods ultimate vessel. But he never ever called himself God himself. If you don’t believe me read everyone of the books in the bible that quotes exactly what Jesus said and you will see he is our Lord and Jehovah is our God. I am a Christian and I bring this point up because of my love for Jesus and Jehovah.

Gods child your saying the exact same thing I am saying. Jesus is a part of God but he is not God himself. Jesus always called himself Lord and others called him God.

Jesus Christ Claims to be God
Matt. 4:7; Luke 4:12 - Jesus tells satan, "you shall not tempt the Lord your God" in reference to Himself.
Matt. 5:21-22; 27-28; 31-32; 33-34; 38-39; 43-44 - Jesus makes Himself equal to God when He declares, "You heard it said...but I say to you.."
Matt. 7:21-22; Luke 6:46 - not everyone who says to Jesus, "Lord, Lord." Jesus calls Himself Lord, which is God.
Matt. 9:2; Mark 2:5; Luke 5:20; 7:48 - Jesus forgives sins. Only God can forgive sins.
Matt. 12:8; Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5 - Jesus says that He is "Lord of the Sabbath." He is the Lord of God's law which means He is God.
Matt. 18:20 - Jesus says where two or three are gathered in His name, there He is in the midst of them.
Matt. 21:3; Luke 19:31,34 - Jesus calls himself "Lord." "The Lord has need of them."
Matt. 26:64; Mark 14:62; Luke 22:70 - Jesus acknowledges that He is the Son of God.
Matt. 28:20 - Jesus said He is with us always, even unto the end of the world. Only God is omnipresent.
Mark 14:36 - Jesus calls God "Abba," Aramaic for daddy, which was an absolutely unprecedented address to God and demonstrates Jesus' unique intimacy with the Father.
Luke 8:39 - Luke reports that Jesus said "tell how much God has done for you." And the man declared how much Jesus did.
Luke 17:18 - Jesus asks why the other nine lepers did not come back to give praise to Him, God, except the Samaritan leper.
Luke 19:38,40 - Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. If these were silent, the very stones would cry out.
John 5:18 - Jesus claimed to be God. The Jews knew this because Jesus called God His Father and made Himself equal to God. This is why Jesus was crucified.
John 5:21-22 - Jesus gives life and says that all judgment has been given to Him by the Father.
John 5:23 - Jesus equates Himself with the Father, "whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him."
John 6:38 - Jesus says, "For I have come down from heaven."
John 8:12 - Jesus says "I am the light of the world." - 1 John 1:5 - God is light and in him there is no darkness at all.
John 8:19 - Jesus says, "if you knew me, you would know my Father also."
John 8:23 - Jesus says that He is not of this world. Only God is not of this world.
John 8:58 - Jesus says, "Before Abraham was, I AM." Exodus 3:14 - "I AM" means "Yahweh," which means God.
John 10:18 - Jesus says He has the power to lay down His life and take it up again - Gal. 1:1 - God raised Jesus to life.
John 10:30 - Jesus says, "I and the Father are one." They are equal. The Jews even claimed Jesus made Himself equal to God. Jesus' statement in John 14:28, "the Father is greater than I," cannot contradict John 10:30 (the Word of God is never in conflict). Jesus' statement in John 14:28 simply refers to His human messianic role as servant and slave, which He, and not the Father or the Holy Spirit, undertook in the flesh.
John 10:36 - again, Jesus claims that He is "the Son of God."
John 10:38; 14:10 - "the Father is in me and I am in the Father" means the Father and Son are equal.
John 12:45 - Jesus says, "He who sees Me sees Him who sent Me." God the Father is equal to God the Son.
John 13:13 - Jesus says, "You call me Teacher and Lord and you are right for so I AM."
John 14:6 - Jesus says "I am the way, and the truth and the life." Only God is the way, the truth and the life.
John 16:15 - Jesus says, "all things that the Father has are Mine." Jesus has everything God has which makes Him God.
John 16:28 - Jesus says that "He came from the Father and has come into the world."
John 17:5,24 - Jesus' desire is for us to behold His glory which He had before the foundation of the world.
John 20:17 - Jesus distinguishes His relationship to the Father from our relationship by saying "My Father and your Father."
Rev. 1:8 - God says He is the "Alpha and the Omega." In Rev. 22:13, Jesus also says He is the "Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the beginning and the end." The only possible conclusion one can reach is that Jesus is equal to the Lord God.
Rev. 1:17 - Jesus says again, "I am the First and the Last." This is in reference to the God prophesied by Isaiah in Isaiah 44:6, 41:4, 48:12.
Rev. 1:18 - Jesus, the First and the Last, also says "I died, and behold, I am alive for evermore." When did God ever die? He only did in the humanity of Jesus Christ our Lord and God.
Rev. 2:8 - Jesus again says, "The words of the First and the Last, who died and came to life." When did God die and come to life? In our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

You're right... Jesus never said that he was God. He felt himself a prophet, working for the "Father" of the Jewish scriptures that he was rooted in.
And it wasn't until the Council at Nicaea (Nicene Creed) that the council decided that Jesus must be fully human and fully god. So essentially, most of Christianity is based on the decisions of politicians. How sad.

I've always remembered it as the Blessed trinity (the sign of the cross); the understanding was there was God the Father, God the Sun, and God the Holy Spirit.

Rome officially accepted Christianity only when it had Paganistic elements in it.
In the same way as the Caesar had been deified by the Romans, since the first Council of Nicea (IVth Century CE) Jesus was deified.

The Trinity is made up of God the daddy, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus became completely divine and fully human. greater purely, Jesus became God Incarnate. to stand in His presence, we would desire to be cleansed of sin. the only thank you to cleanse us of our sins is to make the sacrifice of Himself. you in addition to mght could bear in innovations that the coaching of Jesus as "a stable guy" is a fallacy. He claims Godhood; there are assorted statements in the Bible the place He references Himself as God's equivalent. There are in straightforward terms 3 opportunities: He became God Incarnate, He became a loopy individual, or He became a blasphemer and the international's suited con guy. you may have faith he became a very good loopy individual, yet then you relatively ought to not take any inventory in His loopy teachings, yet then those are why you many times think of He became stable. in case you have faith Him to be a liar, a sham, you may not have faith mendacity is robust. you additionally can admit that His lies have been for an more desirable stable, yet that often is the very stable He became preaching, which you purely noted as a lie. So...what became that 0.33 one returned?

Because He was God in the flesh
Read:
John 10:30
John 8:58
Romans 9:5
Titus 2:11-12
