...I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. - Deuteronomy 18:15,18-19
The operative words in these verses are PROPHET! YHWH would raise a PROPHET amidst them, NOT a second-god, nor a god-man, or demi-god or sun-god.
Yehoshua said that he was a prophet.
Matthew 13
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Luke 13
33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem
PROPHET. Yehoshua was a prophet and he told people what to do. To repent and keep the commandments, and according to the second portion that you posted, YHWH will require it of people that do not listen to what the prophet Yehoshua speaks in YHWH's name. (repent and keep the commandments)
Selah! (think about it)
Wonderful, we don't think Jesus was any of those things either.....well, other than the Prophet of course.
Yehoshua said that he was a prophet.
He is THE Prophet, not just another in a long line of prophets.

Yehoshua did a lot more than tell people to repent and keep His (not the) commandments. BTW, that's an odd thing for a prophet to do isn't it? Claim that God's commandments are his own?
Yehoshua also told people to believe in Him....
He also told men to honor Him just like people honor the Father, thus making Himself equal with the Father....
This prophet also accepts worship from men, is that something a true prophet from God would do?
Before I get too much further I must ask you just what, exactly, are your views regarding Jesus Christ? You say He is a prophet come to bring the world to repentance and to following God's commandments.
Do you believe He was resurrected from the dead?
Do you believe He came to pay for Man's sins through the shedding of His blood?
