Jesus said He existed before Abraham
Read John 8:31-59. Of particular note are verses 57-58 when the Jews say to Jesus, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” to which Jesus replies, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.”
Jesus was prophecies unto Abraham...

Jesus said to see Him is the same as seeing God indicating oneness with the Father
Philip said to [Jesus], “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? John 14 8-9
Absolutely... Christ was the image of God...
Image does not equal actual thing...

Jesus Said to See Him is the Same as Seeing God
And Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me. He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me. I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. John 12:44-46
Yes... Now your getting it... He didn't claim belief in him was his.. He claimed it was belief in God...

Jesus Said He Could Forgive Sins – Only God can forgive sins
[Jesus said:] “But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your bed and go home.” And he got up and went home. But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God. Matthew 9:6-8
Authority from God... He is quite clear about this numerous times...

Jesus Said He Is the Judge and Can Grant Eternal Life
[Jesus said:] “For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, so that all will honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.” John 5:21-23
God gave Jesus the right to judge...
It was innately his...
It was innately God's...
Quote:
Jesus Said He Was the Same as God
[Jesus said:] “I and the Father are one.” The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.” John 10:30-33[/i]
