Is Jesus God?

The thing is, wotsup, you seem to have a counter for everything, regardless of whether I provide my insights to prove otherwise. For every counter you give, I can provide one in return. Yet here we are. Brother, you've taken this subject to extremes. You also seem to have a tendency to redefine word meanings—why?
As I've mentioned in previous responses, there is a counter-argument for your interpretations. Like you, I do not believe in the Trinity doctrine. However, I believe in the simplicity of what we are asked to do: pray to the Father in the name of the Son, Yeshua, and He will send the Spirit to be at one with us. In my opinion, the Spirit is our link to the Father.
Putting that aside, I still see Yeshua as worthy of worship, which, in my opinion, makes Him God. I'll use the Bible from a different perspective. I know we will always have to agree to disagree, and there’s no animosity meant by any means. Anyway, here’s a counter for your opinion. I’m providing my understanding and not sure why you say you all can’t provide such.
Counter Argument

Eternal Nature of Yeshua:
Scriptural Basis: John 1:1-3 states, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” This passage asserts that Yeshua (the Word) existed with God from the very beginning and was instrumental in creation, indicating His eternal nature.
Implication: If Yeshua was involved in the creation of all things, He cannot be merely a created being Himself. He is presented here as a divine being who exists outside of time.
Yeshua as Divine:
Scriptural Basis: Colossians 2:9 states, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” This verse affirms that the fullness of God resides in Yeshua, suggesting His divine nature and His worthiness of worship.
Implication: This reinforces the belief that Yeshua is not just a messenger or a created being but embodies the divine essence of God Himself.
Yeshua's Pre-existence:
Scriptural Basis: John 17:5 shows Yeshua speaking to the Father, saying, “And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.” This implies that Yeshua had a glorious existence with the Father prior to His incarnation.
Implication: The notion that He "had" glory before the world existed supports the idea that He pre-existed His earthly life and was not merely created for His mission on Earth.
Worship of Yeshua:
Scriptural Basis: Philippians 2:9-11 declares, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Yeshua HaMashiach is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Implication: This passage highlights that Yeshua is worthy of worship and recognition as Lord, affirming His divine status and the need for all to honor Him.
The Nature of His Being:
Scriptural Basis: Hebrews 1:3 states, “Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power.” This emphasizes Yeshua's role as the exact representation of God.
Implication: The phrase “express image” indicates that Yeshua is not just a reflection of God but fully embodies His nature.
Conclusion

While some may argue that Yeshua was created or made, Scripture presents Him as eternally existing with the Father and as God Himself. His divine attributes, pre-existence, and the call to worship Him affirm His central role in the faith.

I still dont understand how you get around this:

The passage you are referring to is Isaiah 9:6. In many translations, it describes a coming figure with divine titles. Here’s the verse from the Tree of Life Version (TLV):
Isaiah 9:6 (TLV)

"For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will be on His shoulders. He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Breakdown of the Titles:

Wonderful Counselor: Signifying wisdom and guidance.
Mighty God: A clear reference to divinity, affirming Yeshua's nature as God.
Everlasting Father: Indicating His eternal nature and fatherly role.
Prince of Peace: Highlighting His role in bringing peace.
This verse is often cited to demonstrate that Yeshua is identified with divine attributes and worthy of worship. If you need more context or additional scripture references, feel free to ask!

John 16:28 (TLV)

"I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father."

Yeshua as Divine:
Scriptural Basis: Colossians 2:9 states, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” This verse affirms that the fullness of God resides in Yeshua, suggesting His divine nature and His worthiness of worship.
Implication: This reinforces the belief that Yeshua is not just a messenger or a created being but embodies the divine essence of God Himself."

I would like to think that you would do your homework BECAUSE there is No word Godhead in the NT, according to the Inters.

Deity is the only word according to the definition which we Must go on and not the creativity of man.

divine status, quality, or nature: -> for in him DWELLS as in his Body, OH that's right he was a Temple, I wonder who dwells in them, lets let Word Jesus tell us.

If you have seem me, you have perceived the Father (Inter)
John 14:10 - Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own, but the Father, as He remains in Me, does His works.

Notice that the Only works that Jesus draws on for showing us the Father, is the words coming out of them, so where did and how did they come to be in Jesus, or what does it mean that the Father was dwelling in him.

John 1:1............and Theos (Father) was/is the Word, now we would all agree that the God and Father is Deity and likewise what comes from him.
Due 18:18 - I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.

So, when you heard the words of the God and Fathers being expressed from Jesus, is was deemed as seeing (perceiving - Inter) the Father.
To aid Jesus in doing so -> John 3:34 - For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, because God does not give the Spirit by measure.
Acts 2:22 - “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—

The God and Father gave Jesus all power, authority and placed all things into his hands.
So that, as there is more, well and truly defines what the deity dwelling in Jesus is all about.

According to the clear scriptures and in how God said let there be light, to which we call creation, likewise the word and power came down and made Jesus, pretty much like - let there be a Jesus and he was created and as the Bible clearly puts it at least twice in Heb, he was Made.
When he was made, there is Nothing in there to suggest he was made lower from something greater, so naturally we cannot go adding that creation.

"Not just a messenger" -> Due 18:18 goes against you, but he wasn't just any messenger, as before any creations took plan, God first had a plan for a Jesus to be, for whom he created for.
