No, I'm not a JW or a LDS. I've been a Southern Baptist for 17 years and for the past 3 years I've been studying the Bible for myself and questioning my Christian beliefs. Of course I answered my own question, I just wanted to see what sort of respone I would get and the responses I got has helped me confirm what I believe so Thanks!

You may be JW or LDS, both refuge to give Jesus credit for His Deity, or you may just be confused. However, pulling a few verses from the Bible, and using them out of context does not make you right. Study the Bible, in prayer, and I mean diligently study, in fervent prayer. And pray for a knowledge of the Trinity, it is so clear once the Holy Spirit has explained it to you.
To not give Jesus credit for His Deity, is the very definition of Antichrist. It is all in the Bible, not the JW bible. or the LDS bible, but a real bible. I suggest the 1599 Geneva Bible. This is the Bible translated and used by the original reformers. John Calvin, John Knox, and such great men of God as these.
You can not understand things that are of the Spirit, if you are of the flesh, you must first be born of the Spirit.

What is the liquid that comes out of your faucet? Water right? Is ice water? Is steam water? Of course they are all water, but in 3 different forms. What about the sun? That ball of fire up in the sky is the sun. Right? And so is the light that we receive from it. And when you are outside and the heat from the sun warms your back, don't you say, "ah, that sun feels good?" Of course we all have brains enough to recognize that water and the sun are two things on this earth that come in 3 completely different forms, but are all the same thing. So, why is it so hard for people to understand that God is also 3 different persons and yet one and the same person as well? To answer your question, is Jesus God? Yes. And so is the Holy Spirit and God the Father. They are all God. Not 3 gods, but all 3 are the one and the same God, embodied as 3 distinctly different persons.

the two! Jesus is God the Son, the 2nd area of the Trinity: God the daddy, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit: 3 separate persons interior of a million Godhead. 'Son of God' is a identify, denoting equality with God, figuring out Him as God. it particularly is no longer a organic and organic courting. Even the Jewish leaders on the time of Jesus's preaching understood this: This improve into why the Jews have been searching for each and all the extra to kill him, via fact no longer in basic terms improve into he breaking the Sabbath, yet he improve into even calling God his very own Father, making himself equivalent with God. - John 5:18

Jesus is God.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. (John 1:1-3)
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." (John 1:14)
"God was manifest in the flesh..." (Timothy 3:16)

Why exactly did you ask the question if you answer it yourself? But I think you are right in all 5 points. Mind you in the original Greek scriptures the word stauros was used ins ted of cross. Interestingly stauros means pole or post. The term cross is a later translation.

Jesus is God in human form. God humbled Himself and came to Earth in flesh and blood, to die for our sins. The Holy Spirit is God, also. Jesus left the Holy Spirit here to help us and comfort us in our times of need. God- in three persons.

Only scriptures that prove Jesus is God is the mistranslated scriptures. Other than that, the trinity is not supported in the Bible at all.
1 Cor. Chapter 8, Paul says the Father is the only God.

First, no he is not. Jesus is the son of God. Second, do not take everything in the bible so literally. As you know children are descendants of there parents. From the flesh. So saying he is the right hand of the father is not literal it means he is sent from the flesh of god. Some of the bible is interpretive.
