Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
"My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone."
"The Father is greater than I."
"But he [Stephen], being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God."
Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
“You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”
Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I AM!”
At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.

So what's all the hubbub???
Why is it that people associate Jesus as God when quite clearly these verses refute such a claim...
& many more attest to this...
I'm hoping others will share to add to the collection...
Not through laziness, but so others can get involved...
Where & why do people conceive the notion that Jesus is God?
My personal favourite...
Our father, who art in Heaven...
Hallowed be thy name...
Thy kingdom come...
Thy will be done...
On Earth as it is in Heaven...
Give us this day our daily bread...
& forgive us our trespasses...
Etc...
I'm sure you know the rest...
How about that ATS... Jesus was praying for forgiveness as well...
Please do not use this thread to bait or troll Christians...
It's a serious question, keep your replies respectful even if you disagree with one another!!!
Peace!!!

So what is your angle?
You have quoted every possible text to draw a division between Christ and the Father.
Almost like you are selling something?
