Humanity vs. deity doesn't explain how Jesus spoke of His Father as sending Him, doesn't explain how the resurrected Christ ascended to His Father and God and doesn't explain His anointing by His Father, His identification as the Lamb of God and His identification as perfect high priest.

Actually it does you just choose to ignore it and hold to a duality. A polytheistic duality or worse a subordinate deity which is again polytheism or a type of Arianism.
