Are you there God? It's me, Shelly.

I am so confident in God. I have no doubt that he is there. I know Jesus existed. But was his message lost in translation?

I feel I need to clarify something out loud. I am a Catholic by most standards. I believe in God, the Holy Spirit and all of the angels and saints. I believe that God sent Jesus to spread the word of the lord. But i feel as though he is the son of God and may not be God. Perhaps, God is within or a part us all and That! is the message.

Jesus' message, as i was told in CCD, is that we are all sons and daughters of God. Jesus also wanted to spread the word of a kind and loving Father instead of a vengeful and wrathful God. Finally, he really started pushing the whole lamb of God thing. He knew that the new Judaism that he was preaching was going to get him killed and he was willing to be the ultimate sacrifice to get the message out. I believe all of that.

What I want to figure out in my journey is if this (what i wrote above) is what really happened or did Jesus really think that he was a Divinity and did he think he was God. Did Jesus ever say, "I am God?" or has this been submitted into the bible as a translator error (similar to the submission of the Story of the Good Samaritan)?
