Jesus is NOT the creator of the universe, and never claimed to be.
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
So, unless "God has a God", Jesus isn't God!

This is what has confused me, and brought me to the speculation that "Jesus is a deception". NOT because I believe Jesus "himself" IS a deception, but that his true message and meaning has been completely sensationalized and twisted to the point that ppl have God in the background and Jesus BEFORE God.
And so it has always been.

This is not something new but something as old as the New Testament itself, starting with John the Baptist making straight the way of "the Lord", fulfilled by Jesus coming as 'the Lamb of God'.
"I will appear suddenly in my temple, says the Lord" was fulfilled by Jesus when he drove out the money changers.

I'm not saying that Jesus never existed, and I'm not saying that Jesus wasn't a great inspiration bringing GODS will and knowledge to us, but I find it difficult to worship a man when GOD says you "will put no other GODS before me." Essentially, is that not what folks are doing when they are praying and worshiping Jesus INSTEAD of God?
And though Jesus teaches these things, and then tells us to worship him..... what if he is the true deception in the grand scheme of things?
Please show me where Jesus says to worship him.

What evidence do I have? EXPERIENCE is what I have. I hear more about praising Jesus than praising GOD. I see children who are confused to the point of believing that Jesus IS God and there is nothing more or nothing less than Jesus AS God. I always thought that Jesus was sent to teach ppl how to be closer to God and to gain a better understanding of God, but in my experience Jesus get worshiped and loved and praised IN PLACE of God.

NOT because I believe Jesus "himself" IS a deception, but that his true message and meaning has been completely sensationalized and twisted to the point that ppl have God in the background and Jesus BEFORE God. Therefore, are they not breaking the rules when God says "You will have NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME"
Personally, I hold faith in the foundation that is set not by Jesus, but by the holy spirit working through Jesus, for its manifestation of spiritual truths toward the world for its clean and simple ability to raise man's perspective of truth.
AND it came to pass as Iesus had been teaching the multitudes, and they were hungry and faint by reason of the heat of the day, that there passed by that way a woman on a camel laden with melons and other fruits.
2. And Iesus lifted up his voice and cried, O ye that thirst, seek ye the living water which cometh from Heaven, for this is the water of life, which whoso drinketh thirsteth not again.
3. And he took of the fruit, five melons and divided them among the people, and they eat, and their thirst was quenched, and he said unto them, If God maketh the sun to shine, and the water to fill out these fruits of the earth, shall not the Same be the sun of your souls, and fill you with the water of life?
4. Seek ye the truth and let your souls be satisfied. The truth of God is that water which cometh from heaven, without money and without price, and they who drink shall be satisfied. And those whom he fed were one thousand men, women and children—and none of them went home ahungered or athirst; and many that had fever were healed.
