Only according to one of the hundreds of religions in practice today and only one of the thousands of religions in practice in the past.
So - maybe, maybe not.

Yes Jesus is God: Jesus is part of the Godhead. Jesus came to earth in human form.
God The Father ~ God The Son (Jesus) and God The Holy Spirit.....
It's only understood by divine revelation.
~~Blessings~~
Added: the scriptures some have given are correct - Jesus was the son of God - but He was also God in the flesh. The understanding/revelation is given by the Holy Spirit. Ask and you will receive. The Godhead/ Trinity as some say.

when god created
he did not go to Home Depot to buy the materials
everything that is made is made from the source
which some chose to call "god" (a most terrible word it has become unfortunately)
So Yes Jesus was God that Masterfully discovered what he was
But you and I and the grains of sand on the beach are all also God
but unlike the grains of sand or the trees in the forest
You are a walking talking feeling thinking creative specimen
able to ponder that which you think of as not you
and can also ponder yourself
and contemplate other questions
to make known unknowns

Yes he is, but he is not Jehovah of course, he is the son of Jehovah according to Luke 1:32.
Very simple the same bible that have John 1:1 says in Job 1:6 and 2:1 that all angels are sons of God .
The same bible says that all the sons of God are gods (Psalms 82:1 and verse 6)
So if Jesus is a son of God according to John 3:16 then he could be an angel and still is a god.
but that is not all
the same bible says that the voice of Jesus is the voice of Archangel , why he has a voice of Archangel if he is not an archangel (By the way there is only one). in 1 Thessal 4:16
about Michael archangel the same bible says in Daniel 12:1 that is the great prince that will bring a great tribulation and will resurrect people that are dead in the future. why the bible says about an angel something that only Jesus does?
why the bible describe in Revelation 10:1-3 a powerful angel that match in every gingle detail with Jesus?
and why the bible call Jesus the angel of covenant in the book of Malachi?
Why Jesus was among the angels if he doesn´t belongs to that group? he is the higher one but God almighty talked wtih him when he was among the rest of the sons of God, by the way the bible call him the firstson in Colossians 1:15-17.
AT JOHN 8:58 a number of translations, for instance The Jerusalem Bible, have Jesus saying: "Before Abraham ever was, I Am." Was Jesus there teaching, as Trinitarians assert, that he was known by the title "I Am"? And, as they claim, does this mean that he was Jehovah of the Hebrew Scriptures, since the King James Version at Exodus 3:14 states: "God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM"?
At Exodus 3:14 (KJ) the phrase "I AM" is used as a title for God to indicate that he really existed and would do what he promised. The Pentateuch and Haftorahs, edited by Dr. J. H. Hertz, says of the phrase: "To the Israelites in bondage, the meaning would be, 'Although He has not yet displayed His power towards you, He will do so; He is eternal and will certainly redeem you.' Most moderns follow Rashi [a French Bible and Talmud commentator] in rendering [Exodus 3:14] 'I will be what I will be.'"
The expression at John 8:58 is quite different from the one used at Exodus 3:14. Jesus did not use it as a name or a title but as a means of explaining his prehuman existence. Hence, note how some other Bible versions render John 8:58
Jesus is god but he is not Jehovah the almighty God according to John 14:28 unless Jesus lies to us and he is equal to his father.

I believe he is from God, he is of God, he is the Son of God. he is divine, but I don't think he is God in total. I think there is more to God than Jesus and the holy spirit. So I don't think they are exactly the same. Even Jesus said he didn't know the day or the hour of his return, but only the Father (Matthew 24:36)“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. " God is bigger than Jesus.

NO...if Jesus were God, then no one would be greater than him, right? Well, Jesus himself said that the Father was greater than he was.
Many argue Jesus saying he and the Father were one. But in what sense? He also said they were in UNION. He went on to explain that his followers were also in union with him and the Father. Talking about oneness in unity...like a family would be.
Many cite John 1:1...the word was god. In the original greek, 2 different words for "god" are used. Also, in the 1st century, a "word" was a title for a messenger. So, Jesus was the word, or messenger, but to who was he the messenger to? A messenger would deliver a message from the King. So, Jesus is a word or messenger, for his Father...Jehovah God.
Trinitarians make it so hard, but it really isn't.

No, that is not my understanding of scripture.
He was the son of Mary and his father was the Lord God.
When Jesus was baptised in the river Jordan by John the Baptist there was "low a voice from heaven saying, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased."
Jesus was sent to reveal the qualites of his Father and to do the work that had been planned and purposed for him.
When the mother of one of his disciples asked Jesus for a favour in the kingdom for her son Jesus said, "Ye know not what ye ask......but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it was prepared of my Father."
Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane to his Father to such an extent that the sweat was as drops of blood. That was anguish indeed.
In 1 Cor. 15 we read: "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet......The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he said all things are put under him it is manifest that he is excepted which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject under him, that Cod may be all in all."

no. God CREATED Jesus.
God is an omnipotent entity. Jesus is a human being created by God to spread his message of Christianity.
