It's amazing that we even have this conversation, not the one of which reason is that Jesus Christ, himself , fully man, and, fully God, divine, on Earth, told doubting Thomas, in so many acknowledging words, that He was 'Lord' and He was also 'God.'
My Lord and my God !
Then He (Jesus) said to Thomas, "
Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing." 28Thomas answered and said to Him,
"My Lord and my God!"29Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed." John 20: 27-29
Five words that act as 'one.' And, the Holy Spirit is "in our heart," Scripture tells us; He, too, is a part of the whole one, Lord Jesus Christ who is God as well. "I and the Father are one." John 10:30
So, these three act in accodance as one, one God, not two, not three, but One
Hard to wrap your understanding around that, I know, I used to think differently, too, but, the Lord led me and the Lord will lead you. You ask His Spriit to teach you these things just said, for He will, in His 'due time' teach you IF what I say is Truth
, or, not
.
And, as you pray, ask His Spirit to guide you, help you, also, then, worship, delve into the bible , into Him, into The Word, and, you will not just learn well, you will learn perfectly well, because it will be said from He who is inside your temple speaking, straight to your mind from where He exists NOW, in your heart. John 14:17

Does everything in Scripture need to say , ' Jesus is not God because he's not said directly to be God in the bible.' My, my.
No, no.
Figure it out, with Him.
One God: Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
We are NOT baptized into three gods, or, thee Gods, we are baptized into one God, who came to Earth as a man to show us the glory of the Father, to relate to us His will, and, how it is to be done, to explain to us how to get to heaven (through the Son ! ) and just normal, everyday things, too, demonstrated, showed us of how to live a spiritual life, how to forgive, how to pray, how to die, even, as, He calls us all, through Paul, to be 'crucified' in Himself. Notice the word Paul uses in Galatians 2:20 is not 'sacrificed,' it's "CRUCIFIED."
Crucify yourself in Him, not in Him and him and him, or, how you want to view the other two, small 'h' way you want to say. No! Crucified in Christ. In Him, and, in Christ alone, and, in Him alone.
CRUCIFY yourself in Christ. Jesus showed us EXACTLY how this is done, too
Galatians 2
For through the Law I died to the Law, so that I might live to God.
20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.
