Weird that JC in on HN. Completely odd premise to me. I wasn't aware people discounted the gospel of John when considering this. Here are some of basics as I understand them (as a christian):
* OT prophecies refer to Jesus as "God with us" and "mighty God" [1][2]
* He said "I am in the Father and the Father is in me ..." [3]
* He said "If you had known me, you would have known my Father also." [3]
* He said "I and the Father are one." and immediately afterwards, jews attempted to stone him, citing "because you, being a man, make yourself God." [4]

Note: no desire to debate these points (too busy atm). Just wanted to point out where some get their stance on the topic.
