‘But isn’t Jesus called a god in the Bible?’ someone may ask. This is true. Yet Satan is also called a god. (2 Corinthians 4:4) At John 1:1, which refers to Jesus as “the Word,” some Bible translations say: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” But notice, verse 2 says that the Word was “in the beginning with God.” And while men have seen Jesus, verse 18 says that “no man hath seen God at any time.” (Authorized or King James Version) So we find that some translations of verse 1 give the correct idea of the original language when they read: “The Word was with God, and the Word was divine,” or was “a god,” that is, the Word was a powerful godlike one. (An American Translation) Clearly, Jesus is not Almighty God. In fact, Jesus spoke of his Father as “my God” and as “the only true God.”
Did Jesus ever say that he was God? No, he never did. Rather, in the Bible he is called “God’s Son.” And he said: “The Father is greater than I am.” Also, Jesus explained that there were some things that neither he nor the angels knew but that only God knew. (Mark 13:32) Further, on one occasion Jesus prayed to God, saying: “Let, not my will, but yours take place.” (Luke 22:42) If Jesus were the Almighty God, he would not have prayed to himself, would he? In fact, following Jesus’ death, the Scripture says: “This Jesus God resurrected.” (Acts 2:32) Thus the Almighty God and Jesus are clearly two separate persons. Even after his death and resurrection and ascension to heaven, Jesus was still not equal to his Father.
“Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36) How do these words confirm that Jesus is not Almighty God?
Jesus says that the Father knows more than the Son does. If Jesus were part of Almighty God, however, he would know the same facts as his Father. So, then, the Son and the Father cannot be equal. Yet, some will say: ‘Jesus had two natures. Here he speaks as a man.’ But even if that were so, what about the holy spirit? If it is part of the same God as the Father, why does Jesus not say that it knows what the Father knows?
Jesus is also “Mighty God” and “Eternal Father.” This does not mean that he usurps the authority and position of Jehovah, who is “God our Father.” “He [Jesus] gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.” (Philippians 2:6) He is called Mighty God, not Almighty God. Jesus never thought of himself as God Almighty, for he spoke of his Father as “the only true God,” that is, the only God who should be worshiped. (John 17:3;

One God in three divine persons, The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.
The Blessed Trinity.
Jesus left the glory of heaven to be born to a virgin named Mary. Mary was told by an angle of God to name the child Jesus.

What is to explain? He is God the Son, He is God's Son, He is the Alpha and Omega (basically the "A" and "Z") He is the Beginning and the End, the Lord.
He was born of a virgin, He is divine in nature.
Colossians 2:8-9
8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

It's the idea of immaculate conception (non-sexual conception)...taken in the sense that we have come to understand today...I would say POPPYCOCK!!!...speaking in the traditions of the Jewish people at the time of Jesus' birth...I would say God had more to do with the conception and birth of Jesus than we can fathom...giving the child the "holy spirit" and therefore the powers of that spirit (and Jesus eluded to that being the fact)...I would also say since God sent a snow white dove and proclaimed to those gathered at his baptism by John..."here is my son who I am proud of"...it's a fact...

just say that Good gave Mary the power to have a baby without needing anyone's "help" so Jesus, her son, would also be considered God's child as well

Jesus was, and still is as our resurrected savior, a human being and has a Father.
God miraculously caused the body that he himself would habitate to begin to form within the womb of a virgin.
When Jesus spoke of his Father he was pointing out the difference between humanity and God.

The Bible calls him the "Son of Man" at some point.
Adam was the original "Son of God".
It signifies a spiritually evolved form of mankind.

God created everything and everyone. So we are all "Sons" or "sons" of God. So why would it be any different with Jesus?

The Godhead is a trinity. This is how God has determined to explain Himself to us.
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Three persons, ONE God.
Jesus was one hundred percent human and one hundred percent God. He had NO human father, but was conceived of the Holy Spirit...so He had NO sin as a person conceived of a man and a woman.
This isnt how I explain it, but how God explains it. He doesnt expect us to understand it, but to take Him at His Word and believe it!
