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.

>> The point is that Scripture never calls Jesus God.<<

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 does scripture say shed His blood on the cross?

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.

Who is the “son” and who does that verse of scripture say He is?

Aside from the fact that you’ve been proved wrong already, that begs the question.

If the Bible doesn’t teach that Jesus is God, then why does the Catholic church teach He is?

WAIT!!!

The point is that Scripture never calls Jesus God.

You got some 'splainin' to do!

Which is it?
