Because Jesus was in the flesh as a man fulfilling all that was written of him. It does not mean that he was not God. Are you forgetting the verse where God the Father calls the Son "God" as well?
Jesus was/is both God and man. That part of God took on flesh in order to live a perfect life in the flesh to save those would trust in him for salvation. They are individual persons existing as one God.
He did clearly say that he was God. When Thomas said to Him, "My Lord and my God," did you see Jesus rebuke Thomas for calling him God? No, he didn't. Because he addressed Jesus correctly.
You shouldn't even be on this site. The denial of Jesus as not being God, is a major false teaching.
You'll find out different when you stand before him.

Only in the flesh did he die! Your reasoning reminds me of the same type of reasoning that preterists use, scripturally illogical. When Jesus died, his spirit departed from his body and went to the same place where Abraham and Lazarus were, Sheol/Hades. After three days, his spirit returned to his body, his flesh becoming immortal and glorified. His resurrection is a guarantee of our resurrection. He ascended into heaven at the right hand of the Father in that same glorified body and will be returning to the earth to end the age in that same glorified body.
Yes I know the verse well. The thing is Jesus cannot have been in heaven before he was born on earth. There is so much that makes that impossible.
What happened to his body he had before?
What did he look like before? Because he would look different now.
Where did his spirit go that cannot die?
His personality would be different now to how it was in the beginning.
The spirit Jesus had in the womb wasn't the same in the beginning.
How was he God in the womb seeing he wasn't formed yet?
Satan when he tempted Jesus didn't call him God.
The bible says Jesus was tempted in all parts yet without sin, yet the bible says God cannot be tempted with sin.
So that says clearly Jesus cannot have been God.

Where are you getting this from? It isn't in the Greek.
What you are saying is a contradiction in terms. If Jesus was NOT God, he would have no power and authority to forgive sins.
If Jesus is not God, you have no forgiveness and your faith is in vain. Moreover his death on the cross would have been useless.

He was the perfect sinless man. The only man who could die for all mankind. Jesus is called the second Adam. How can he be if he's not human?
Those verses are clear. If you believe that Jesus is God then you have to believe the scripture verses are wrong that I just posted where Jesus WAS tempted but God CANNOT be tempted.
When Jesus died and God raised him from the dead, he was given all power and authority and glory from God and made to sit at the right hand of the Father.
God has given His son a name above all names because Jesus finished the work God commanded of him.
Jesus is second only to God the Father. Because of Jesus obedience to his Father he now has that position in heaven.
In the old testament when it says one God it actually uses the numeral 1 that is 1 God.
Look I want you to think about it, not trying to change your mind only just show you what God showed me.
There is so much in the word that proves what I've said, you just need to search it out and compare verses because they show the truth if you really want to listen and search for it.
Be blessed.
