Hi there, let me try ....
John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” Look how the Jews reacted at this. You will see they were mad because he made himself equal with God. Same thing in John 8:58 when Jesus said "Before Abraham I was". The Jews reaction still showed that they knew he was making himself equal to God
John 1:1, says that “the Word was God.” in John 1:14, which says that “the Word became flesh.” we find out that Jesus was the word John was refering too.
Thomas the disciple even decleared Jesus as God, Jesus didn't rebuke him for it either. John 20:28, “Lord and my God”
Titus 2:13, says we should wait for our God and savior- Jesus.
In Hebrews 1:8 God the father proclaims Jesus as God.
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom"
Jesus is worshiped many times through the New Testement. The Ten Commandments teach only God should be worshiped. Jesus didn't rebuke them either.
In Revalations when John was about to worship the angel. He was commanded only to worship God Who was in Revalations? Jesus...
Now for proof in the Hebrew scriptures(original)...
In the Old Testament. Genesis 1:1: In the beginning, Elohim created. That is not Yahweh, Elohim is a plurality, meaning more than one. Just like Cherubim and Seraphim, angels. Anything that ends in “im” is more than one.
Now, we know that God the Father was there, and you believed that. But in Genesis 1:2, the Holy Spirit moved upon the face of the waters. Then in Proverbs 30:4, it says, who hath created all the ends of the earth? Who hath created the world? What is God's name and what is His Son's name? That’s not the New Testament, that’s the Hebrew Scriptures. In Isaiah 9:6-7, it says, Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. And what is the name of this son? The Mighty God in the next verse.

Yes Jesus is God.In the begining was God and the Word .The Word was with God and the Word was God. John 1 To John 14.But here is the best part
Jesus always had the nature of God,but He did not think by force He should become equal with God.
Instead of this,of His own free will He gave up all He had,and
took the nature of a servant.
He became like man,and appeared in human likeness.
He was humble and walked the path of obedience all the way to death-- His death on the cross.
For this reason God raised Him to the highest place above
and gave Him the Name that is higher than any other Name

If Jesus was not God what is the point of Christianity. If he was not God made into flesh he was merely some really smart guy with long hair walking around in the desert, sort of like Ted Nugent

Yes, He is Lord ( addonay ) and God ( Jehovah ).
He is identified in the Book of Daniel, Chapter 7 as the Most High.
See here:
This is the Ancient of Days, The Most High is not there yet:
9 "As I looked,
"thrones were set in place,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat.
His clothing was as white as snow;
the hair of his head was white like wool.
His throne was flaming with fire,
and its wheels were all ablaze.
10 A river of fire was flowing,
coming out from before him.
Thousands upon thousands attended him;
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
The court was seated,
and the books were opened.
Now enters in another power in heaven:
13 "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
The one given those things is identified here:
21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and defeating them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.
26 " 'But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. 27 Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.' "
The Most High God is God. There has always been puzzling verses in the Old Testament concerning the nature of God. This is one of those:
Psalm 45
7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.

Jesus is God in human form. Jesus is the son. God is the father. The Son, the Father and the Holy Spirit are all one.
