Jesus clearly claimed to be God Almighty that is why He was crucified on the cross. Jesus also clearly accepted worship, Jesus never refused worship. Please read and study the following passages to clear your understanding of who Jesus is who He says He is.

Revelation 1:8: I am the Alpha and the Omega says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

Revelation 1:17-18: When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: Do not be afraid, I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One, I was dead, and behold I am alive forever and ever!

John 10:30: I and the Father are one.

John 8:58: I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I Am (Yah Weh)!

Note: The original Hebrew is YHWH – we add the vowels to match our vernacular.

John 8:19: You do not know me or my Father. "If you knew me you would also know my Father.

John 20:20: Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and My God! Jesus said to him, Thomas because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and believe.

First off, the book of Revelation is a vision received by John of Patmos while he was dying on the Galapagos Islands. It was not Christ during his ministry, but rather than perception of Christ in the mind of the writer displayed on paper.

Secondly, I was told by a Biblical scholar that each Gospel was written for a different group of people. Through my own research, I come to the conclusion that each of them was written by a different Christian practitioner within varying sects of religion/spirituality/philosophy of the time they were written (which were well after the death of Christ). The Gospel of John was written to convey the message of Christ to more mystic leaning spiritualists. They were moreso the type to have beliefs that would be affirmed by a Messiah as God scenario.

Therefore, those verses are not truly indicative of what Christ actually did nor how he carried himself. Rather, they exist to portray an underlying message that (at that place and time) were hard to convey in a singular, cohesive manner. So instead, they conveyed the principles by speaking in the tongues of their audience. See what I'm getting at?

It's ok that you don't know something...the REAL question is, how badly do you want to find out?
