Accepting Jesus as God? Where does it even say that in the Scriptures?

I dunno.
But most Christians believe this, right?

Jesus Christ is most definitely God. He created Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, in his image. He is the Creator of the universe. The Bible says, "Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made" (John 1:3).

It is important not be confused. God did not create Jesus. Jesus is God, and he has always existed.

Jesus definitely is not God. There, I can make statements too. Anyway I asked where it stated in Scripture that we have to accept Jesus as God?? It says we have to accept Jesus.

I am not going to go off track on the trinity...its probably being fought out on another thread somewhere.

I never thought about it that way.
Besides, the only Trinity I care about is in The Matrix.

God is God?
And Jesus is a prophet.

Let us follow the bouncing ball....

John 1:1-2 --- In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

John 1:14 --- The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,[d] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 3:16 --- For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 14:6-14 --- Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

<emphasis mine>

What in God's (Jesus or not) creation does all this have to do with the subject at hand?

YES! I agree with you, Jesus is God. And thank you mams for quoting the scripture that I believe proves that.
