4) Why would Jesus hide this fact from His disciples?
5) It is said in scripture that Jesus was the Image of God, not God Himself. Why wouldn't it just say He was God if this were so?
EDIT: 6) Only the Father IN HEAVEN knew the time in which Christ would return, if Jesus was God then He too would have known the time of His return right?
I could go on and on with questions that seem contradictory if I see Jesus as God. I just can't seem to grasp that. I myself see Him as the Holy Son of God and the only righteous man to ever live and die for all who would believe in Him. If you're going to just flame me and not give me concrete scriptural proof or at least your opinion on the matter, please don't reply. I really would like to see the basis for this belief so that maybe the Holy Spirit will turn on a light for me to understand it in that way as well. God bless!

As you know J.S. I am not that well versed as of yet. Yes...I am getting there...don't rush me.
Here is my 2 cents.
Jesus was God in the flesh.....God gave Jesus the authority(maybe not the best word) that he himself masters.
Think of it this way....if Jesus and God are indeed one person..well heck what was the purpose of all Jesus did when he was alive? Was he not here to show the way to God.
In order for Jesus to do what he did he had to be empowered by God.....infused if you will. I am not going to drop scripture cause you know what ones I would use. He had the authority and power of God.
Done.....
