Denying the Deity of Jesus Christ is (or used to be) considered the number one theological heresy by site mods, so those who continually fight to have such a view accepted do often eventually get banned. You most certainly are welcome here, but at the same time, you must refrain from talking about this issue, which is actually considered the main marker of a cult. Why? Because in truth there is more than ample evidence in the Bible which affirms the Deity of Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself said, "Unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

Luke 3:21-22 KJV
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that
(1) Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
[22] And the
(2) Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a
(3) voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
I thought this might be helpful.

● John 3:5-6 . . . Most truly I say to you: Unless anyone is born from water
and spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. What has been born
from the flesh is flesh, and what has been born from the spirit is spirit.
Some years ago I asked an experienced Jehovah's Witness if he was born of
the spirit. He answered no; and added that he did not expect to undergo a
spirit birth in either this life or the next because his hope is a kingdom on
Earth.
My friend was somehow unaware that everything Jesus and Nicodemus
discussed in John 3:3-8 was related to earthly things.
● John 3:12 . . . If I have told you earthly things and yet you do not believe,
how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
In other words: the kingdom of God, to which Jesus related the spirit birth,
will be on Earth rather than up in Heaven.
It's both tragic and ironic that the Watchtower Society's rank and file door to
door missionaries go worldwide advertising a kingdom that they themselves
will never be allowed to enter: not because they didn't work hard enough to
deserve it, but simply because they were led to believe themselves exempt
from the spirit-birth requirement.

^ ^ That thread may be helpful to you, but please do not start quoting posts to argue against what you read.
I make that request simply to spare you the indignity of getting yourself banned.
If you really want to learn, simply read the proofs given there.
There are many.

● 1John 4:1 . . Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but
test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God,
because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.
The Greek word translated "false prophets" roughly defines a supposedly
inspired speaker who's actually on the wrong side of the aisle, viz:
imposters; and they are everywhere, e.g. radio, television, the internet,
social media, in print, and at our very doors.
Jesus said that false prophets are known by their fruits (Matt 7:15-20). For
example: the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society's predictions regarding
Armageddon and Christ's return have been incorrect every time. Seventh
Day Adventism's performance hasn't been any better.
Well; if a religion's predictions fail, then prudence requires that we assume
its theology is highly suspect no matter how convincing their explanations
may appear.
