The very passage you refer to in Philippians 2 says that the Lord Jesus 'thought it not robbery to be equal with God' (verse 6).

You refer to John 1.14 which says the Lord Jesus' glory is 'the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth'; a resounding testimony to His deity.

It seems, however, you have come to this site with the express purpose of denying among the most central doctrines of Biblical Christianity.


Two different disciples documented the following regarding the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Mat. 27:50-54 - “Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.”
Mark 15:37-39 – “And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. And when the Centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.”
With the death of Jesus Christ, the ‘veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints arose, and came out of the graves.’ This was not a normal event and this made the centurion and his fellowman realize, that Jesus Christ was no ordinary man but that He was truly the Son of God.
John the Baptist received the instruction from God to baptize people with water and to witness the light, and that the one on which the Spirit will descend, will be the one who would baptize with the Holy Spirit, and then confirmed that He is the Son of God.
Joh 1:6-7 – “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.”
Joh 1:29 – “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
Joh 1:33-34 – “And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.”
John received this instruction from God and he knew what the sign will be to identify the Son of God. When he saw the sign, he made it known to man and confirmed that Jesus is the Son of God.
Joh 8:54 – “Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that He is your God.”
Jesus also confirms that God, is His Father who honoureth Him
