God, The Father is Savior (Isa.45:21-22) and Jesus too is Savior (John 4:42; (Eph. 5:23)but to believe that Jesus is God ignore the Scriptures.How He became savior: (Acts 13:23 and Acts 5:31)He was thus exalted and made as such by God (The Father) thus it is absurd to conclude that He was MADE a God by God.
Actually Christ Himself needed salvation when He prayed to God: "DURING THE DAYS OF JESUS' LIFE ON EARTH, HE OFFERED UP PRAYERS AND PETITIONS WITH FERVENT CRIES AND TEARS TO THE ONE WHO COULD SAVE HIM FROM DEATH, AND HE WAS HEARD BECAUSE OF HIS FERVENT SUBMISSION" (Heb. 5:7) Could this have meant that one "God prayed to another god"? This would contradict the teaching that there is but one God. (I Cor. 8:6)
The Father who alone could give salvation will do so (John 17:1,3) through the man He has ordained, Jesus Christ: "And now_all glory to Him who alone is God, who saves us through Jesus our Lord...(Jude 1:24)Let's not base our conclusions blindly to the legacy of what we have awaken to or to the influence of books of mount Olympus wherein gods would come down whenever they want to.

God has endowed us all with free-will...you are certainly allowed to believe what you want to...I'm not the Judge.
I will believe what I believe, as you are Not the Judge.
Peace and happiness be with you.

According to the scriptures, Jesus accepted worship as only God can do. And Jesus forgave sin, as only God can do.
Then there is Matthew 1:23 ....they shall call His name Emmanuel, which is interpreted God with us.
Hebrews 1:6 the angels worshiped Jesus
Matthew 9:18 Jesus received worship form man. Yet in Matthew 4:10 He admonishes man that Thou shalt worship the LORD thy God and Him only shalt thou worship.
Compare Isaiah 41:4 & Revelation 1:17
I the LORD, the first and with the last, I am He.
Jesus said; fear not, I am the first and the last
I could go on...but this is enough for now.
Thank you.
