>>Nowhere in Scripture is Jesus called God.<<

Looks to me like the Jews of Jesus day would disagree with you. When Jesus said this.

John 10:30 I and the Father are one.”

Scripture plainly shows us what was meant when it recorded the Jewish response.

John 10:33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”

Looks to me like Jesus did indeed call Himself God.

He also said He was God here:

John 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”

Now what did God call Himself?

Exodus 3:14…Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Once again.

Acts 20:28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.

Who shed His blood? And still you claim that “Nowhere in Scripture is Jesus called God”?

And more:

Hebrews 1:8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.

Still want to tell us that “Nowhere in Scripture is Jesus called God”?

The point is not what people understood from what Jesus says about Himself or what Scripture says about Him.

The point is that Scripture never calls Jesus God.

Scripture gives the name Jesus to the Second Person of the Trinity, who is God, but is never called God.

Even today, with our understanding of the Trinity, we do the same. The Father is God, and the Son is Jesus and the third person in the Trinity is the Holy Spirit.

We usually only say use the word God in reference to Jesus or the Holy Spirit when explaining the Trinity. The norm is to use God only when speaking of the Father.

That is why Scripture calls Mary the mother of Jesus. That is His name.

Of course, even in that you are wrong because in Luke, Elizabeth calls Mary the Mother of My Lord.
