Oh, no, John only makes this the central point of His gospel by referring to Christ as God twice in the opening chapter (John 1.1, 1.18), and then goes on to record the confession of doubting Thomas as Christ as, "My Lord and My God!" This same John only speaks of Christ as the uncreated One (John 1.3, “All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made”), the One whom the prophet Isaiah saw in a vision sitting upon the throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple (John 12.41 [c.f. Isaiah 6.1-9]). He is confessed to be the direct object of prayer (John 14.14, "If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it"), and is referred to in ways only suite for the Divine, saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End (Rev 1.17, 2.8, 3.14, 22.13).”
The apostle Paul warns the church in Corinth that Christ should not be put to the test through way of reminder of what happened to the Israelites when they likewise tested Him (1 Cor. 10.9 [c.f. Psalm 78.18, Numbers 21.5-6]). This Christ that Paul warns of is One who had pre-existed with the Father whom He was equal to (Philippians 2.4-6), possessing all the fullness which makes God, God (Colossians 2.9). He is given doxologies, praise, and thanksgiving (2 Tim. 4:18), both, as God (Titus 2.13, Romans 9.5), and YHWH (Romans 10.13 [c.f. Acts 2.16-21, Joel 2.32]).
Peter addresses his audience, professing ever so clearly that Christ is both, “our God and Savior” (2 Peter 1.1), the One whom Isaiah speaks of when he says, “But do not fear what it fears, or be in dread; honor the LORD Himself as holy” (Isaiah 8.12-13 LXX [c.f. 1 Peter 3.14-15]).
This is the One whom the author of Hebrews denies is an angel (Hebrews 1), but confesses what both, John and Paul have already confessed: All things were created “in,” and “through” Him (Hebrews 1.2 [c.f. John 1.3, Colossians 1.16]), He is ontologically equal to the Father (Hebrews 1.3 [c.f. John 1.1c, Colossians 2.9]), and pre-existed as nothing less than YHWH (Hebrews 1.10 [c.f. John 12.41, Romans 10.13]).
These men, these Apostles frequently use the “Spirit of Christ,” and “Holy Spirit”/”Spirit of God” interchangeably of one another (Acts 16.1-8; Romans 8.9-10 [c.f. Phil. 1.19; Gal. 4.6; 1 Peter 1.10-11]), invariably teaching the complete, and total Deity of Christ.
And in John’s apocalyptic literature, remarkably, he describes the worship due to Christ in a parallel fashion that is due to God (Revelation 4.8-11 [c.f. Revelation 5.8-14]):
"And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within ; and day and night they do not cease to say, "holy , holy, holy is the Lord God , the Almighty, who was and who is and is to come." And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created." (Revelation 4.8-11)
"And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth." Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!" The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped." (Revelation 5:8-14)
But that's all just coincidence, right?
