This scripture clearly states that , in Jesus' own words...HE IS NOT ALMIGHTY GOD. This nullifies the whole group of so called Christian religions that promote the trinity concept.

Jesus Christ
Definition: The only-begotten Son of God, the only Son produced by Jehovah alone. This Son is the firstborn of all creation. By means of him all other things in heaven and on earth were created. He is the second-greatest personage in the universe. It is this Son whom Jehovah sent to the earth to give his life as a ransom for mankind, thus opening the way to eternal life for those of Adam’s offspring who would exercise faith. This same Son, restored to heavenly glory, now rules as King, with authority to destroy all the wicked and to carry out his Father’s original purpose for the earth. The Hebrew form of the name Jesus means “Jehovah Is Salvation”; Christ is the equivalent of the Hebrew Ma·shi′ach (Messiah), meaning “Anointed One.”

Of course Jesus isn't Almighty God. At John 3:16, he called himself the only-begotten Son of God. He also said that "God sent his Son into the world...to save the world through him." So, who came to earth? God or God's Son? (John 3:17)
On a number of ocassions, Jesus professed that his message was not his. In addition to John 7:16, 17, Jesus said to the Jews at John 8:40: "You are trying to kill me because I told you the truth, which I heard from God." At verse 42, Jesus added: "If God were your Father, you would love me, because I have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me."
These verses and others show that Jesus never claimed to be Almighty God. To Jesus, his Father is "the only true God." (John 17:3)

I have not seen anyone yet who can provide a Scripture where Jesus specifically said "I am not God."

But that is not what their grandma, preacher or (false) religion has told them. Surely that must be more important than anything the Bible--written by Jehovah God, our Creator---has to say.

people are to blind to see that brother. they just don't get it. Jesus prayed to his Father Jehovah in heaven and said he can not do anything without the Father in heaven. the devil has them so blinded and they just don't read there own bible to see we are telling them the truth. they also use, what Jesus said you seen me you seen the Father. what he was saying is that he was with Jehovah for eons of years before coming to earth that he knows his Father real well. just like my daughter looks just like me that people think we are sisters or twins but we are mother and daughter, not one and the same
