God is the Creator in the Bible:

You are worthy, our Lord and God,

to receive glory and honor and power,

for you created all things,

and by your will they were created

and have their being.

(Revelation 4:11)

You can't say that Jesus is the Creator because Jesus is not God

Jesus is the Son of God in the Bible

Apostate Christianity is a religion that has nothing to do with God and Jesus Christ

Yes, I can and will declare that Jesus is the Creator-God, along with the testimony of all of Scripture:

"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 came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being."

- John 1:1-3

"Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

For in Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.

And He is before all things,

And in Him all things hold together.

And He is the head of the body, the church;

Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.

For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,

And through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross—through Him—whether things on earth or things in heaven."

- Colossians 1:15-20

the Gospel of John:

"but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."

(John 20:31)

"All things came into being through Him" (Christ)

but God is still the Creator:

You are worthy, our Lord and God,

to receive glory and honor and power,

for you created all things,

and by your will they were created

and have their being.

(Revelation 4:11)

"I and the Father are one.”

The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself God.” Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and continue knowing that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”

- John 10:30-38

"Jesus *said to him, “Have I been with you all so long and have you not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?"

- John 14:9

Jesus said that he is the Son of God (John 10:36)

you try to turn the Bible against Jesus to prove that he is God

No, I'm just pointing out a few of the many things the Bible says that teach us who Jesus is. It's up to you to accept them or not.

In Hebrew and Aramaic, the term "son of" is an idiom that means "authentic" or "the very (thing)" for whatever thing it is attached to. Jesus also said himself to be the Son of Man, because he was both authentically God and man.

The men who lived with him most closely when he walked the planet recognized him to be God:

"Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are those who did not see, and yet believed.”

- John 20:28-29

As I've tried to show you with all these Scriptures, Jesus himself claims to be God; his enemies recognized that he claimed to be God, which is why they killed him; his followers recognized him to be God, and the writers of the New Testament knew he is God.

"...whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen."

- Romans 9:5

"God, having spoken long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days spoke to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds, who is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power; who, having accomplished cleansing for sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they."

- Hebrews 1:1-4

Lord Jesus, please open this fren's eyes to see you for who you are...🙏🏻🫂💜😄

“The men who lived with him most closely when he walked the planet recognized him to be God:”

they didn’t, this is what Peter says about Jesus:

“Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.”

(Acts 2:22)

“was a man” not “was God”

Peter also said this:

“You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached— how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.”

(Acts 10:37-38)

Jesus healed people because "God was with him", not because he was God

you can forget about Thomas, as a Jew his God was the God of Israel, just as the God of Jesus was the God of Israel

Jesus answered, “The most important (commandment) is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. (Mark 12:29)

"to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen." (Jude 1:25)
