    The correct answer is, "By nature".

    Jesus is God because he has *always* been God, and

    - taking on human nature (a mortal, human body), and

    - praying to the Father

    does not and did not stop him from being God.

    Do you stop being a human being when you pray? Does prayer change your nature?

    Do you stop being a human being if you are holding a pet in your arms? Even though you are at that moment a pair - human and animal. Does that pairing change your human nature in any way, detract from it in any way? Does it make your nature other than human or less than human?

    The story grew as time went on. The earliest Christian writer was the Apostle Paul. He seemed to think of Jesus as some kind of angelic being. He hardly ever talked about Jesus, seemed to know barely anything about him. Also seemed to think Jesus became God's son--by adoption--at the moment of resurrection. The evangelist Mark was next; no mention of Jesus being God there. Then Matthew and Luke, still no mention. Finally, the Gospel of John, written some 70 years after Jesus' death, won't shut up about Jesus being God.

    Similar situation for Jesus' status as God's son. Paul seemed to think God adopted Jesus at the resurrection. Mark (if I recall correctly) has God adopting Jesus at his baptism. Luke and Matthew have Jesus becoming God's son by means of birth. And of course, John the exaggerator has Jesus co-existing with God in eternity past.

    Don't try to make sense of it. It's supernatural. That means there are no facts. Make up whatever you want about the supernatural; no one can demonstrate that their nonsense is more likely to be true than yours.

    god tells us jesus was god from the beginning

    the word is jesus

    John 1:1-3Common English Bible (CEB)

    Story of the Word

    1 In the beginning was the Word

    and the Word was with God

    and the Word was God.

    2

    The Word was with God in the beginning.

    3

    Everything came into being through the Word,

    and without the Word

    nothing came into being.

    What came into being

    the word lived in human flesh

    John 1:14Common English Bible (CEB)

    14

    The Word became flesh

    and made his home among us.

    We have seen his glory,

    glory like that of a father’s only son,

    full of grace and truth.

    Scriptures calls Jesus BOTH "the Son of God" (48 times) AND "the Son of man" (196 times)

    Therefore Jesus was BOTH God AND man

    He was MAN because he was born in the flesh - and GOD because he had the Spirit of God indwelling and empowering him.

    READ THE BIBLE!!!

    Jhn 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

    Jhn 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

    Human flesh cannot perform miracles. Only GOD can. It was GOD living in Jesus' flesh that did the miracles!

    Not a God but the God. Hebrew 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

    Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. Everything was created by Jesus and for Jesus. Compare Isaiah 44:24 Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

    John 16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

    Besides the little bit of walking on water Peter did before he started sinking, Jesus was the only man to ever walk on water. Jesus was God. Jesus said to ask anything in his name he would do it.

    Jesus and God are two different persons. Jesus told us this truth again and again.

    There is nothing to understand, Jesus never existed and only the natural world exists.
