21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
( Matthew 7:21-23)"

Did Jesus knew that people will falsely call him God?
No, but He knew that there would be many false prophets who would deny the truth about Him.
John 5:22 The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
John 10:30 I and the Father are one."
John 14:1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
John 14:8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."
9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
People who preach a "different Jesus" are moved by the spirit of the anti-Christ according to the Bible.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.

Jesus was saying that many people will think they are christian, but they are not. For example, the crusaders, or gay pride advocates within the churches, or some people claim Hitler was a christian, or anyone who is "lukewarm". Jesus was not saying he is not God.
In fact we know Jesus was God because of John chapter 1, and we know he was God because we know he was there in the Old Testament many times. He was in the burning bush with Moses, he was on Mount Sanai with Moses, he was the one who came to Abraham with 2 angels, etc.

Jesus knew that people would truly call Him Lord and God,as Thomas did in John
Jesus calls himself God in John and Revelation in many ways.
Matt 7:21ff is talking about people who think that all they need is believing and they don't have to live those beliefs. Faith without the works of love is dead and cuts no ice with Jesus.

Yes those are Jesus' Words in Matthew chapter 7.
Jesus knew that not all who claimed to be his disciples really are his disciples.
This isn't the only passage in the Bible which teaches that.
Remember also the parable of the weeds from Matthew chapter 13.

Forgive me, but I think the verses you provided do not support your question.
Are you asking that Jesus is not God and therefore people are "falsely" calling Him God?
I beg to differ. I believe in the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost.
The verses you quoted in Matthew talk about those who think they were doing God's will but they were really under Satan and that's why God tells them, "I never knew you."

Jesus IS Lord. That was Jesus that spoke those words. Looks like someone has a personal grudge.
Repent and be saved
Jhn 10:30 I and [my] Father are one. Jesus speaking

Joh 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

That is not what this passage says at all. He is referring to people that would do things in His name without really knowing him at all. I can go out and give a homeless person 5 bucks to eat at Wendy's and tell him that Joe Bob McKenzie told me to give it to him. But that doesn't mean I know Joe Bob McKenzie.

Your quote is taken out of context and has nothing to do with your question. but anyway, Jesus said "I and the Father are one."
