Jesus said if you have seen me, then you have seen the father. Another verse says that Jesus Christ is the father. If God is the father, then how can anyone say no verse in the bible claims that Jesus was God?

Some choose to believe a lie. Jesus said who he was many times. The Bible is very clear.

In the eyes of the Jews Jesus' claim as the Son of God made Him a God: John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.
As the Father is God Jesus who is one with the Father is also God: John 10:30 I and My Father are one.
Jesus accepted Thomas calling Him God: John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
By His conduct and claim Jesus is God.

Because the Bible is interpreted about a million different ways by a million different people. It's like looking at the color red and matching it with another color of red... it's never the same red... does that even make sense, what I just typed?
no verse in the Bible claims that Jesus was God... there is, clearly, however, a verse in the Bible where Jesus claims he is God... but it's not the chapter writer's words... hm...
Because every son is an image of his father. This doesn't mean Jesus is God.
Just some thoughts.

It is similar to saying a son is the "spitting image of his father".
He looks like him, acts like him, etc.
They are in perfect harmony together.
They think the same, reason the same, answer the same.
Jesus lived in heaven for milleniums before coming to the Earth for humans' sakes.
He was sent by his Father, GOD (Jehovah)
They work together for God's purpose.
THAT text, at John 10:30, is often cited to support the Trinity, even though no third person is mentioned there. But Jesus himself showed what he meant by his being "one" with the Father. At John 17:21, 22, he prayed to God that his disciples "may all be one, just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union with you, that they also may be in union with us, . . . that they may be one just as we are one." Was Jesus praying that all his disciples would become a single entity? No, obviously Jesus was praying that they would be united in thought and purpose, as he and God were.—See also 1 Corinthians 1:10.

Easy! here I'll do it now, "There's no place in the bible where Jesus Christ claims to be God"
The moral...things that are written are not always the truth nor reliable.

Jesus said that He was the Great I Am. I don't understand how anyone can say He isn't. It must be their belief system. They are all believing a huge lie and are being brain washed.

Hi,
Jesus was son of God . He himself was not God . Jesus never said that he is God . Jesus said O God forgive them those who do not know what they are doing.

Those verses are taken out of their Bibles and they claim that the original Bible is false. And, somehow, their Jehovah witness bible is more accurate.

There's no place in the bible that says Jesus was god. I have it on good authority.

That verse was saying that if you see me then you see the father he had that same attributes as his father
