Is Jesus really God, as He claimed?

Jesus said, in the bible, that He is God. Is he? . . I believe he is, and a lot of Christians out there seems to think the same. However, there are equally numerous, "Christians" and non-christians, that think otherwise. . . Some who holds different views might believe he is a messenger of God, as in Islam, or mere man who falsely claimed himself to be God. Even some might believe and accept that he is one who teaches great moral values, or a great moral teacher. . . It is such beliefs that led masses to view Christianity as the same as other religions, one which teaches us to become good person to do good things. Therefore, why would we need to convince others to believe in Jesus, if what they currently believe teaches the same thing. . . Unlike other religion, Jesus had professed consistently throughout his ministry that he is not just MAN, he is GOD. Buddha never said he is god or some sort of deity worthy of worshiped. Muhammad never said that he is god, he was merely a messenger of Allah, just as those came before him. . . It is this profession of Jesus that made him different from others. His teaching was morally sound, it teaches good just as buddha did. But he never said that his teaching was the way to eternal life. It was not his teaching that captivated the masses. It was HIMSELF that led many to believe him. He said, " I am the truth, the life and the way". He told the congregation then and now to follow him. Buddha didn't say that he grants life or death. Buddha shared a teaching, a way of life for people that they might live good. . . The question is Jesus really God as he claimed? If he's not, how then can we still accept Christianity and his teaching? If he's not God, then he would be nothing but a liar, a morally corrupted liar who professed to be God. . . Is Jesus God? . .
