“The Father dwelleth in me”
What could be clearer than that. The Spirit of God was dwelling in the man Jesus Christ.
That is why He could say “He who has seen me has seen the Father”
He is saying that the Light of God can be seen shining in him.It is all twisted to think He is saying He is God.
Jesus was the perfect obedient Son of God, come to undo what the First Man Adam did.
Adam was tempted to be God and failed. Jesus was tempted to be God ( see the devils tempation in the wilderness)and did not fail.
You just don’t understand.
It is an insult to Jesus to say He is God.
>> “It is an insult to Jesus to say He is God.” <<
.
The demon that fostered those words will be tormented for eternity; the man who said them fortunately can repent.
It is an insult to Jesus to say He is God.
***Then why didn’t Jesus say to Thomas something that indicated he had been insulted? Instead, He accepted the Worship.
When Thomas saw the risen Christ, he said, “Behold my Lord and my God.” Jesus then proceeded to chastise him for his unbelief, rather than recoil in horror at receiving worship only intended for God Himself.

28 Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus *said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”
