Oh really so you do believe that God died?
18 I am He who lives, and was dead.

No Jesus is not God. If Jesus died, then God died. Jesus is the first and last in the perspective that it was meant. The first to proclaim the gospel, and the last to prove it. The first to provide true salvation to mankind and the last. All living souls will go through him and no other, not even God. And because of such, there is no other, therefore, A-Z fits. Jesus never said he was God nor did he ascend to the throne of God. Only God sits on the throne.
But I expect you're one of those people who can't understand that Jesus is still alive in his flesh body that he had when he was here. And i expect you forget that he will return that way too.
There is absolutely nothing that you can quote or produce that will ever show that Jesus is God. When reading the bible a person always needs to keep common sense. "god is spirit." "my father is greater than I." "I ascend to my father." "sit at the right hand of power."
You only believe Jesus is God for three reasons: 1. you do not have the Holy Spirit in you. 2. You just want to argue and do it for kicks. 3. You are one of the billions in the wordl who have been grossly mislead and choose to believe as a conformist.
When I decided to voice my knowledge I knew I would run across people like you. I see them and hear them on television all the time. But I am not here to waste time showing anyone who has no ears what the truth is. I know the scriptures very well, and my speaking out is beacue of the deceivers in the world who are doing just what you are doing, heckling any person who does not believe as you do. You teach nothing, you argue as a misguided person. If you think you are so brainy that you can teach me what you call the truth, think again, my knowledge far excels over yours and beyond anything you can currently understand. So, no, you will never be able to tell me that Jesus is God and that God died on the cross now matter what scriptures you twist in your favor.
Somebody has to show how the ANTICHRIST is working in the world, that is what I do. By saying that God died on the corss you deny the son Jesus. By saying that Jesus is God, you deny the father. And if you can;t understand that, why is it you have not explained Gods other sons? And then, what happens to the Holy Spirit, why does the future not mention it?
You also leave out that when God makes the new heaven and earth and that God and Jesus both are mentioned as different entities. Jesus being a man forever now since he was changed form a spirit like God and of course God forever being a spirit, totally unlike Jesus. No one knows what will happen when this long course of prophecy is over. I'm sure as Large and powerful as God is, he has other plans. After all, eternity is a very long time to do nothing but live on a planet.
You can put all the limits on God you wish, but keep it as it is, your belief. Because that is all it is. I for one think it is time for a person such as me who has a lot of knowledge to come forward and begin to challenge those who are misquoting and representing the Bible. Most of which are called preachers and evangelists and television personalities.
Since everyones knowledge about God comes from the Bible, the knowledge is of the same source. So far all you have offered is small talk and no Biblical proof that Jesus is God. The References you make from the OT to the NT are not related as you infer. But you do nothing that has not been around for a long time, misguided deception.
Of course, I speak of knowledge, not faith. Which is why so many people turn religious people away, faith has nothing to do with un-sustained argument, to each his own. "Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation (to each his own) with fear and trembling;" Ph 2:12
You obviously don't know the difference between the spirit of God and the physical son he sent to us.
