The Bible says God the father, God the son and God the Holy Ghost. Basically 3 in 1. So by that, he is God. Jesus also said that we are all brothers, which would make us sons, so we are also God.
But is he God. Looking at the Bible, Mark 10:18 Jesus said, "Why do you call me good. No one is good except God alone" Sounds like he is saying he is not God.
Acts 3:13 “The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.” - Now that sounds like they are calling him a prophet.

According to the religious scholars that came up with the idea of the holy trinity, God is the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit... BUT.... The Father is not the Son, and the Son is not the Holy Spirit. Three parts that are one God. It's kind of wierd, but it's the best explanation they could come up with that didn't interfere with the desciption of Jesus being a flesh and blood person. They explain the Jesus was both flesh and God at the same time.

I have also read that in older forms of english the word Good meant divine. What Jesus is saying is that he is just a man. Other people were accusing him of presenting himself as divine to draw a following. He said that is what his accusers were saying to justify watching his every move and threatening him with arrest.
People would have been less inclined to follow a divine being and found a human being more believable when he talked about temptation because Jesus also had to resist temptation; something a deity would not experience first hand.

Jesus is the Son of God. What is born of man is man and what is born of God is God. Is Jesus the Son of God? Yes, He is! Then if the Father is God, the Son is also God. And at the same time He is also the servant of God. Jesus is all-inclusive, which means that He could be anyone to us and to God. His relationship to His Father is not just limited to His being a Son. He could be the Slave of God, the lamb of God, the sacrifice, and many more...

Jesus is our brother. And there is a possibility that man could be God but only in life and in nature and not in the God-head. Which means that, the more we enjoy God, the more of His life is added into us. In this way we become many Gods. I hope this answered your question...God bless you...

First ask yourself what is GOD, define GOD... What is omnipotent?
GOD is everywhere, and in everything, think small, smaller, smaller yet, keep going, smaller, look into the smallest part you can imagine, in between the parts that are so small exists what is known as the ether the fabric of the universe, the fabric of the universe has always existed, the fabric of the universe exists in everything that has and will exist... You are made of GOD, GOD is made of everything. Together we are doing the work of GOD. Anything done to hurt others is not of GOD for GOD is pure and holy, GOD loves justice...
An injustice is part of man's corruption.
Heaven is at the Heart of GOD and at the heart of GOD you will be in the presence of Jesus, you will know this by the Love and Peace you feel and know.

GOD and Heaven really exist, this isn't a story or myth, and yet if you don't understand I won't be able to explain...
I would say in answer to the post below, GOD IS, GOD is in everything, so that makes GOD everywhere. Everyperson is born with GOD... Speaking of Children, that would make them the closest to GOD...
The meek shall inherit the Earth, do you understand that?

The here is the way I see this. God said he made us after his onw image, with a body soul and mind. that makes us three parts of the same person. And God is the same with God being the mind, and the Holy spirit being the soul, And jesus being the body.

In the return of Jesus, do you count yourself as one?
