I always had a feeling that the "Christ is God" narrative was largely invented because of infighting between sects and the necessity to differentiate from the Jews.
In the OT God promises a messiah, not God. In the NT it is said that those are Antichrist who "denies that Jesus is the Christ", not those who deny that he is God. Big difference.
Am I saying Jesus isn't God? I'm saying I don't know. He himself said "the Father is greater than I"

When Jesus rose from the dead and appeared to the apostles, Thomas called him God:
“And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.”John 20:28
no one rose from the dead lol
Many did and you can be raised up too in the last day to the resurrection of life if you believe on Jesus:
because humans were created using dna splicing by otherworldly beings in my opinion
But then the question arises who created those beings? Life begins at the Spirit of God
Let's put it this way... Ok Jesus is a God... Just like there are many others... Do we want to talk about Horus... Osiris, RA??? I don't find them any less...
I personaly find this a difficult situation.
I find God in many things.
Somethimes i look hight in the sky and follow a bird , he sings , he is talking to me about how beautiful nature is , the sky is, how amazing it looks from above. I agree with the bird and a feeling comes over me that takes me to extase, it may be God in that bird.
To me God is everywhere in nature .
If it think about that i think it is normal that many cultures gave a different name to God, the culture is different, the language is different, the time is different they gave a name to God, so why should God not have many many names ?
Christ is God in the OT as well. He is the one who walked with Adam in the garden, wrestled with Jacob and named him "Israel," protected the 3 men from the furnace, etc...
The people rejected Christ in the New Testament are the same as those who rejected him the OT, which is why they struggled to see their Messiah when he arrived. They weren't actually looking for Him. They had replaced Him with the law and their vain religiosity and temple hierarchy.
I read somewhere that in the translation of the bible to English, the word that was translated into “Lord” actually meant “Void”. My experience with ayahuasca and the theory of it and other ceremonial ingestion of “sacraments” being where humans came up with their ideas of an “other”, or a “god” started to make more sense then…
When I see it through this lens, “God” is the space between the synapse and the moment of the spark that crosses it. Always novel and ALWAYS inside all of us and everything we do.
That we have developed religions and “symbolic” ceremonies around this is testament to how potent the experience of god actually is.
But because nobody really understands or seeks out their origin, they are left as hollow tools of control that are doing an impressive job of sewing unrest among the human population.
We’ve forgotten our bond with nature and its imminently cosmic and godly nature.
