Christ s aid the word son the cross.You have to separate what Jesus said he was from what the authors of the NT Bible say he was.
Jesus himself did not know what he was and had to ask his disciples what the people were saying he was and what they thought he was? And when Peter called him the Christ, he did not correct Peter. So we know Jesus did not believe he was God or he would have corrected Peter.
Luke 9:18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?"
19 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life."
20 "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.
Why didn't Jesus want the people to know what he was? Who was going to tell them and how could they believe him if they were not told what he was by his disciples or himself?
Jesus let out his doubts about his beliefs even as the messiah in the final moments before he died.
Matthew 27:46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?").
Jesus could not make himself a God. He repeatedly called God his Father in Heaven.
But why did he believe his Father was God?
Joseph told Jesus he was not his real father and it is quite unlikely anyone stepped forward and claimed to be Jesus's real father because adultery was punishable by death. So what was a disturbed young Jesus to do? He searched the scriptures for answers. There is evidence of his early obsession with scriptures. At the age of 12 he was already well versed in the Bible and called the temple his Father's house. And henceforth he called God his Father even before his parents.
Luke 2:46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."
49 "Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?"
My God my God why have you forsaken me-.-
And II-
Christ did not declare him self God in the words of Frank
But he was referring to his divinity always.
To know God is through his characteristics-the
Christ was identi calrecipes with the qualitiesof God-
And I give you this example-
When you say I treat patients and hold a degree
Here-you didn'tsay you'redoctor-
But who hears your qualities such
Know you are doctor-
The same method-
This is the method that gave us Christto be God
Through its actions and attributes
And he knew his disciples that God
I hope that my idea clear
