peace to you, please don't tell me they are equal because i will show you enough evidence that it's not:
john 14:28 reads--
" .......BECAUSE THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN I AM"
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Mark 13:32
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
John 8:54
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Matthew 19:17
1st commandment: you shall not take other gods before Me! (God)
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me
John 7:16
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Deuteronomy 6:4
"my God! my God! why haven forsaken me!"
You denied God while you know it.

If everyone think freely without being fanatic, he will read Bible and know that Jesus Christ never ordered anybody to worship him, but the Father only, Bible stated that God is the Father of Adam, faithful people, and Jesus as well.
Please read:
Luk 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
Also, beware to say that Jesus and God are the same, read Joh 8:16-18 to know that God sent his messenger Jesus to earth, and also to declare that God and Jesus are two diferent IDs
Joh 8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
Joh 8:17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
Joh 8:18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
So Bible say that God is Father of Adam
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. .
So Bible say that God is Father of all faithful people
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
So Bible say that God is Father of Jesus Christ like as if he was the only son because of the glory that God gave to his prophet Jesus.

Jesus is God in the flesh, you need to read the first 10 versus before the verse quoted and the next 10 versus after it. This will give you the full context of the quoted verse. Also you need to accompany this with a study companion. A lot of Jesus's words were prophetic. Like in John when he told the Pharisee's to tear down their Holy Temple and he would rebuild it in three days. If you were to only read that verse you would totally take it out of the context in which it was written. Jesus was prophesying his Crucifixion and his resurrection 3 days later.

Both of course!
Jesus is the Word of God become flesh.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." JN 1:1
"Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." JN 1:3
For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. JN 5:18
I and the Father are one." JN 10:30
“…understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father." JN 10:38
"Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me." JN 14:11

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (the Trinity) make up God. I worship God through Jesus. That's why we pray in Jesus' name. And we have the Holy Spirit in us.
John 14:6 -- Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

One good verse from John merits yet another == John a million:a million interior the beginning up substitute into the notice, and the notice substitute into with God and the notice substitute into God. i'm no longer interior the temper to argue, yet are you a JW or do you purely no longer understand the Trinity?

Jesus is not God, Jesus differs from God {the Father}
read some of what Jesus say himself in the Gospels
1. Mark 13:32 “But as for that day or hour no one knows it – neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son{Jesus} – except the Father{God}
2. Mat 10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
3. Joh 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
4. Joh 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
5. Joh 8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.)
6. John 17:25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
7. Luk 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
8. Luk 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
9. Luk 10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
10. Joh 5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
11. Joh 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

You do a wonderful job of taking a few scriptures totally out of their contextual setting then using them to tear down straw men.
Jesus said "God sent His only begotten Son to save the world."
Jesus said "You believe in God, now believe also in me"
When someone said that he was the son of God, Jesus said "You are right".
When someone ASKED him if he was the son of God, Jesus said "Yes. It is as you say."
Philippeans (a letter Paul wrote to the church in the city of Philippi) said that even though Jesus had the right to claim equality with God, yet he humbled himself and became fully a man.
Shall I continue? There are TONS more Scriptures, but if you don't accept THESE, you won't accept ANY.
I just pray that you are not so close-minded that you can not receive Truth when presented to you. (By the way, Jesus said "I am Truth").
One additional comment:
You used this Scripture:
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Matthew 19:17
Jesus said "I am the good shepherd"
Use a little logic here. If no one is good but God, and Jesus claimed to be good, then Jesus is claiming to be God!
Be careful not to poke your eye out while you're playing with your toy sword while tearing down the straw man you built up in the vain imagination of your heart!

God. Jesus *never* claimed himself to be God incarnate outside of anything that fell inline with the stuff Bhudda was saying 3000 years earlier. The only way Jesus ever talked about himself as God was in that, "I am God, you are God," way that Bhudda was all about. Yet, we never see religions propping Bhudda up as God himself. Funny, that.

Neither.
Surely you must realize that only people who accept the NT as inspired by a god are going to be persuaded by your argument. Those people are already Christians.
