There is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (pbuh) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me". In fact the Bible contains statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in which he preached quite the contrary. The following statements in the Bible are attributed to Jesus Christ (pbuh):
"…I cast out devils by the Spirit of God…."
[The Bible, Mathew 12:28]
"…I with the finger of God cast out devils…."
[The Bible, Luke 11:20]
"I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."
[The Bible, John 5:30]
"Nevertheless I (Jesus) must walk to day, and to morrow, and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem." - Luke 13:33
"And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house".- Matthew 13:57

Sorry, but it won't work. Athiests point out the exact same passages to Christians, but they'll simply answer back, "You aren't interpreting the Bible correctly." See, to be fundamentalist of any kind, you kind of have suspend your common sense....

John 10:30; Mat 16:15-17; Mark 14:62-64 (if this wasn't a claim of devinity... then how could it have been counted as blaspheomy); John 8:12; JOHN 8:23!!!; John 8:58; John 10:7-10; John 10:36; John 11:25; John 13:13-19; John 15:1-5; Rev 1:8; Rev 21:6; Rev 22:9; Rev 22:16 just to list a few

what ridiculous version are you reading
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."

Amazing that this question keeps getting asked. The bible clearly teaches that God was Jesus in the flesh, John chapter 1.

There are many places in which He and His disciples proclaim Him to be the Messiah. Jesus Himself proclaimed His divinity to the Jews in John 8.
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Whether or not you understand the significance or real meaning of this statement is irrelevant. The fact is, He DID proclaim His divinity. That's why the Jews tried to stone Him for blasphemy.

particular, He did, contained in right here reference: John 8:fifty 8 "earlier Abraham grew to become into, i'm (YHWH)" in this context, the Pharisees tried to stone Him, by way of fact they understood what He meant. He had merely claimed to be God. There are others, yet it is, possibly, between the main serious ones, by way of fact there is not any getting around what He grew to become into announcing. it can not be defined away, without lot of verbal gymnastics. We even have all the previous testomony references, alongside with: Psalm one hundred ten:a million (Which Jesus quoted to the Pharisees): The Lord says to my lord: "take a seat at my genuine hand till I make your enemies a footstool to your ft." in this verse, as quoted by skill of Jesus, our lord god grew to become into telling the Messiah to take a seat down by skill of His genuine hand....grew to become into David calling somebody as properly God Lord? Jesus in no way reported He wasn't the Messiah, nor did he ever refuse the worship which others gave Him. subsequently, He grew to become into the two a heritic or He widespread and known that He grew to become into God interior the flesh.

Jesus (PBUH) attained self realization.
Fulfilled his duties as a great Prophet and returned to the Father.
Jesus (PBUH) instructed human beings how to follow in his footsteps so they could know and return to God!

"La Ilaha ill Allahu wa inni 'Isa Ruhullah"
There is nothing other than God; Only You are God; There is another Prophet to come; Jesus is the soul.

NO. On Judgment Day God will ask Jesus:
116-118: And when Allah Almighty will say: "O Jesus, son of Mary, did you ask people to deify you and your mother besides Allah?" he will say: "Your knowledge extends much beyond mine. How could it behave me to say that which I know to be untrue? If I had said such a thing surely you would have known it. You know even what is in my heart but I do not know what You know. You - and You alone - know all what is hidden from us. I said nothing to them except what You bid me to say which was that they should obey Allah Almighty who is their Rabb (lord) as well as mine. As long as I stayed with them, I kept a vigilant watch over them. But when You completed the term of my life, You alone watched over them. You have devised measures for everything. If you punish them, they are devotes to you or if you forgive them, you have the absolute power but your power is blended with wisdom."
119: Allah Almighty will say: "This is the day when the truth of the truthful will benefit them. They shall have gardens wherein streams flow, where they will dwell beyond the count of time. This is because they adhered to Allah's law and Allah Almighty recompensed them for it. This is, indeed, the highest achievement."

He also says a slave can only have one master. That means there is only one God because all have the same master, God.
