Why Do You Believe Jesus is God?

In the beginning was Jesus the Word and

Please if you will, answer this question,
to the best you can?

Because before being flesh and named Jesus, He was the Word according to John.

Also I presume John expected his audience to have some intelligence and cognitive ability to read

I believe that you are deceived about what you believe.

I wouldn't worry too much about it because there are millions who do not understand that Jesus was Michael the arch angel manifested in the flesh. I myself have a hard time understanding why people just don't get it.

Come on man.

Get real!

Are you saying Jesus is Michael the arch angel?

Because you said YOU don't care but that you were SENT by God.

JUST LIKE YOU

And just like you...they have a theory about why
it is the scriptures they pointed out is what they say it is.

We know it's talking about the WORD and the word was GOD and the WORD became flesh (Jesus), That's what I said.

Need those verses again?

Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Joh 1:15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.'")
Joh 1:16 And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.
Joh 1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
