Hello Daniel,
I must say that I am surprised at your question because there is so much information in the Bible about this. Have you never read a Bible?
Well, here is enough proof.
Genesis 1:26, Here it says that the word "God" indicates that there is more than one being. For it says "Let us" make man...
John 1:18-29, Here it plainly says that Jesus existed as God before the world was created and that he actually participated in creating the world. Nothing was made without him.
The book of Hebrews explains that in becoming a human, Jesus gave up his special powers as God in order to live as any orther human and demonstrate that humans have no excuse for disobeying God so that God is justified in punishing sinners; that they do not deserve eternal life. Eternal life is a gift that can be had by people who will be faithful to God by trusting in Jesus and obeying his teachings as presented by him and his 12 apostles in the New Testament.
In other words, Jesus became "the son of God" when he subjected himself to another member of the Godhead and became a human to obey God and show the rest of the world that it can be done. The world can know the will of God and obey it if they are willing.
Take a few days off and read the New Testament. You'll be shocked at how much there is that will clearly answer your questions about Jesus and that he was/is God and deserves to be worshipped by everyone on earth. He is the only one that can give human being immortality. No one can be a friend of God except by obeying him. Eveyone who rejects Jesus as Lord is an enemy of God.
I hope this helps you.
Sincerely,
Mr. McClellan

Expertise
I can answer questions concerning Christian doctrine as well as other kinds of questions relating to religion. One important thing, among many, that needs clearing up is the meaning of religion. Religion is any system of belief that tries to explain how people should think and behave so that life is the best it can be. The definition found in the dictionary is seriously in error being based on popular but wrong ideas. Email me at and.the.truth.is@GMX.com for a free PDF 5 page introduction to my just completed book, "And The Truth Is?" It's uniquely different and interactive, designed to show you that you can actually know the way, the truth, and the life Jesus spoke of and what he expected people to do to participate in it as well as what to expect if they did.
Experience
My education puts me second to none in this area and I have had over forty years experience in the area of teaching Christian theology, doctrine, apologetics, hermeneutics, history, and philosophy. Publications: Among the things that I have written is a summary of the entire Bible that is intended to help people put it all together and quickly understand exactly what the writers of the Bible intended for everyone to understand. By reading it and then reading the Bible, the correct understanding should become quite clear and a sincere student will recognize that they have received an invaluable aid to knowing how to correctly interpret the Bible so that they can know, with certainty, that they are understanding it correctly. At the same time, they will be able to recognize the vast number of false doctirnes that are being called Christian doctrines but are only the teachings of men and have no more authority than any oridinary man can give them.
Organizations
I belong to no officially recognized organizations. I'm simply a person with a deep and lifelong desire to know the truth, a desire so strong that I have, for more than 50 years, poured myself and a lot of money into finding it and making sure of it. I believe that life is too short and valuable to waste it believing a lot of stuff that isn't true. Everyone can't be right and be in disagreement at the same time and the claims made by the writers of the Bible are simply too serious to guess about.
Publications
It's quite obvious that the Bible is not easy to comprehend thus all the divided opinions about what it teaches. I am finalizing a short treatise on the Bible that I believe will help a lot of people who seriously want to get a clear understanding of what the Bible actually has to say to everyone, a treatise that should take the mystery out of it and show that it really makes sense. People deserve help in recognizing the truth about what the Bible says because there is so much false teaching about it that is actually leading people away from God instead of to God. It should be ready to send out by the end of this year, 2011 or before.
Now, you can purchase a PDF copy of my book "And The Truth Is?" on CD. It's very unique and it's interactive. If you're tired of living with a best guess and want to learn for certain what the truth is, this, the result of over 50 years of research and serious study, is what you're looking for.
Education/Credentials
I have two degrees in education, including religious belief systems. I also have many years of experience and many thousands of hours of study and research on which I've based my new book, "The Bible Actually Makes Sense."
Awards and Honors
All of my awards and honors are in the form of compliments from people who've read or listened to my attempts to help them understand what the Bible is about and how to comply with what it actually says. So many have said, in one way or another, that I helped them more than anyone they had ever met. It's comforting to know that my efforts to be of value to others is appreciated.
