Hi unstopableravens,
I'm sorry that I have forced you to wait for replies. But I am often busy. I have not time to sit with the computer much. I would like to witness about the truth more but I can't. Maybe later God will give me more time. And now it is middle of the night here. But you ask my answer to statments that are infavor for the idea that Jesus is God. Well, I would say there are ambiguous statments about almost everything in the Bible and people chose to interprete them as they like.
So, I would say why Tomas said "Oh my God". It's the same as today people say: "Oh my God" without meaning it. And why did John say the the word was god? Well here he exaggerated a little bit, because he loved Jesus so much, wasn't he the apostle that Jesus loved especially much? Remember also that John in Revelation admits his misstake to try to worship an angel. So therefor I understand why John easily could say ambiguous things about Jesus without meaning it, and people would missunderstood that.
Doesn't this well known verse tell you something?: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son...
If you ask a kid according to this verse can God be the Son he gave? He would most propably say no, but God gave his Son.
So according to this verse the Son Jesus is not God. But God sent him. That's the simple truth. The other ambiguous verses are just to trap and to make stumbe a certain kind of people so that they would not understand the truth.
It's the manner of God to handle matters, not to let everyone understand the truth. You have to be like an innocent child. Because Jesus said: Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.
