Because, there are many pathways to reach God,from different angle/perspective depending upon ones position and God loves that as He has created the world with such divergence! Jesus is one way to reach God,need not be the only way. Your thinking might even harm the interest of Lord Jesus!

see dude,
everyone has there own state of mind,and there own ability to conduct or understand any activity.
someone is intelligent and someone is not.
someone is rich and someone poor.
someone live life as kings and some not.
in the similar way understanding God and His grace is not within the ability of everyone.
thus your good mental state says that Jesus is the one and only God, whereas anyone else won't accept this fact.
hence my kind request to u is that please don't fight for the fact that who is God and who is not,
the real question of life is how much rigid and loving belief you have towards your respective God.
And for your question,i give u the surety, u won't a satisfying answer......

Because he's not.
"The Scriptures make it clear that Jesus was entirely human from his birth until his death. John did not say that the Word was merely clothed with flesh. He “became flesh” and was not part flesh and part God. If Jesus had been human and divine at the same time, it could not have been said that he had been “made a little lower than angels.”—Hebrews 2:9; Psalm 8:4, 5.
If Jesus had been both God and man when on the earth, why did he repeatedly pray to Jehovah? Paul wrote: “In the days of his flesh Christ offered up supplications and also petitions to the One who was able to save him out of death, with strong outcries and tears, and he was favorably heard for his godly fear.”—Hebrews 5:7.
That Jesus was not partly a spirit when on the earth is proved by Peter’s statement that Christ was “put to death in the flesh, but . . . made alive in the spirit.” (1 Peter 3:18) Only because Jesus was wholly human could he have experienced what imperfect people experience and thus become a sympathetic high priest. Wrote Paul: “We have as high priest, not one who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tested in all respects like ourselves, but without sin.”—Hebrews 4:15.
As “the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world,” Jesus “gave himself a corresponding ransom for all.” (John 1:29; 1 Timothy 2:6) In that way, Jesus bought back exactly what Adam had lost—perfect, eternal human life. Since God’s justice required ‘soul for soul,’ Jesus thus had to be what Adam was originally—a perfect human, not a God-man.—Deuteronomy 19:21; 1 Corinthians 15:22........
The circumstances associated with Jesus’ baptism do not suggest that God, Christ, and the holy spirit are coequal. As a human, Jesus underwent baptism in symbol of the presentation of himself to his heavenly Father. On that occasion “the heavens were opened up,” and God’s spirit descended, coming upon Jesus like a dove. Also, “from the heavens,” Jehovah’s voice was heard to say: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.”—Matthew 3:13-17."

Why cant everyone follow the same time?...because the sun and the moon appears at different time as per zones.
From US, Africa is at the left side, but from Japan, the same Africa is on the right side.....so who's right?
The same thing....from where you view, Jesus is God. From where the others view, Other Icons appear as God.
But God is God.....

Perhaps it is because Jesus is NOT God.
Matthew 16:15-16 ". . .He said to them: "YOU, though, who do YOU say I am?" In answer Simon Peter said: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.""
Throughout the Bible there is unity of thought , that Jesus is the son of the true God in the heavens , Jehovah.
Teachings that try to prove that Jesus is in fact God , are simply NOT supported by the truth found in the Bible.
For more info on what the Bible really teaches, please feel free to email me.

Friend,
I ask you to tell why every one should understand as you said.Each person has his own perception and taste and believes in something what he feels convincing to him.
Jesus himself never said He is God.He said He is the son of God.
So God is separate from Jesus , and as per Jesus He is His father.Then how can you say Jesus himself is God?

Did a historical Jesus exist?
http://www.nobeliefs.com/exist.htm
[Excerpt]
ALL CLAIMS OF JESUS DERIVE FROM HEARSAY ACCOUNTS
No one has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Jesus; no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Jesus derive from writings of other people. There occurs no contemporary Roman record that shows Pontius Pilate executing a man named Jesus. Devastating to historians, there occurs not a single contemporary writing that mentions Jesus. All documents about Jesus got written well after the life of the alleged Jesus from either: unknown authors, people who had never met an earthly Jesus, or from fraudulent, mythical or allegorical writings. Although one can argue that many of these writings come from fraud or interpolations, I will use the information and dates to show that even if these sources did not come from interpolations, they could still not serve as reliable evidence for a historical Jesus, simply because all sources derive from hearsay accounts.
Hearsay means information derived from other people rather than on a witness' own knowledge.
Courts of law do not generally allow hearsay as testimony, and nor does honest modern scholarship. Hearsay provides no proof or good evidence, and therefore, we should dismiss it.

Maybe if you read something like the quran you might think that Allah is the only god.
Peoples opinions change maybe because they haven't read the Bible yet. Maybe if they did read the bible they would think that jesus is the only god.
