Who is Jesus? Many questions answered.
1) Was Jesus Just a Good Man?
Jesus was more than just a good man. At the very least, he has proved to be the most influential man in human history. Note what these famous historians and writers have said about him:

“Jesus of Nazareth . . . is easily the dominant figure in history.”—H. G. Wells, English historian.

“[Jesus’] life is the most influential ever lived on this planet and its effect continues to mount.”—Kenneth Scott Latourette, American historian and author.

The Bible identifies why Jesus has had a greater impact than any other good man who ever lived. When Jesus asked his closest followers who they thought he was, one of them correctly answered: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”—Matthew 16:16.

Is Jesus Almighty God?
Current time 0:00

Jesus’ opposers accused him of making himself equal to God. (John 5:18; 10:30-33) However, Jesus never claimed to be on the same level as Almighty God. He said: “The Father is greater than I am.”—John 14:28.

Jesus’ early followers did not view him as being equal to Almighty God. For example, the apostle Paul wrote that after Jesus was resurrected, God “exalted him [Jesus] to a superior position.” Obviously, Paul did not believe that Jesus was Almighty God. Otherwise, how could God exalt Jesus to a superior position? —Philippians 2:9.

This one question causes so much debate and arguments amongst Christians. I lean towards your reasoning but there are so many confusing passages


John 8
58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.


John 14:9
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?


John 20
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Jesus was never confused/ignorant about anything;
Jesus spoke these things, and raising his eyes to heaven, he said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your son so that your son may glorify you, 2just as you have given him authority over all flesh, so that he may give everlasting life to all those whom you have given to him. 3This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. 4I have glorified you on the earth, having finished the work you have given me to Jo17

If you are serious about this and want to know the answer, it was first settled with the Council of Nicaea in 325CE. Look into Arianism, Sabellianism, and Monarchianism. But arguments carried on for several more centuries until it was finally settled. This is the part of Christianity that isn't in the Bible, but form the very canons of our religion.

Mirror mirror..... try to duck and cover but....
Stop judging that you may not be judged; 2for with the judgment you are judging, you will be judged, and with the measure that you are measuring out, they will measure out to you. 3Why, then, do you look at the straw in your brother’s eye but do not notice the rafter in your own eye? 4Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Allow me to remove the straw from your eye,’ when look! a rafter is in your own eye? 5Hypocrite! First remove the rafter from your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to remove the straw from your brother’s eye. mt7

Yes and when God's time of grace expires Jesus power will be revealed in the purification;
The seventh angel blew his trumpet. And there were loud voices in heaven, saying: “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will rule as king forever and ever.”
16And the 24 elders who were seated before God on their thrones fell upon their faces and worshipped God, 17saying: “We thank you, Jehovah God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun ruling as king. 18But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time came for the dead to be judged and to reward your slaves the prophets and the holy ones and those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” Rv11:15

Re: Who is Jesus? Many questions answered.
Why Is Jesus Called the Son of God?

The Bible’s answer

The Bible often calls Jesus “the Son of God.” (John 1:49) The expression “Son of God” acknowledges that God is the Creator, or Source, of all life, including that of Jesus. (Psalm 36:9; Revelation 4:11) The Bible does not teach that God literally fathered a child in the same way that humans produce children.

The Bible also calls the angels “sons of the true God.” (Job 1:6) And the Bible says that the first human, Adam, was a “son of God.” (Luke 3:38) However, because Jesus was God’s first creation and the only one created directly by him, the Bible describes Jesus as the foremost Son of God.

Did Jesus live in heaven before he was born on earth?

What did Jesus do before he came to the earth?

Do Messianic Prophecies Prove That Jesus Was the Messiah?

Yes. While on earth, Jesus fulfilled numerous prophecies about “Messiah the Leader,” the one who would be the “Savior of the world.” (Daniel 9:25; 1 John 4:14) And even after his death, Jesus continued to fulfill Messianic prophecies.—Psalm 110:1; Acts 2:34-36.

What is the meaning of “Messiah”?

Could more than one person fulfill the Messianic prophecies?

Could the Messiah appear in the future?

How many Messianic prophecies are there in the Bible?
