BAHAHAHAHA!!
Both Paul and John refer to Jesus Christ as GOD.
Here are some of the earliest Pauline Epistles.
They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.
Romans 9:4-5 ESV
°
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
Philippians 2:5-7 ESV
°
yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
1 Corinthians 8:6 ESV
"the one Lord part is significant because the Old Testament talks about their being two Lords, God and the Messiah, but Paul is saying the two Lords of the Old Testament are one. "
°
And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
1 Corinthians 2:1-2 ESV
These are believed to of been written later but before the Gospel of John.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,
Colossians 1:15-19 ESV
°
There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Ephesians 4:4-6 ESV
...
SAINT JOHN :D
John 1:1, 14 where Jesus is in the beginning with God, and was God, the Word became flesh. John also presents Jesus as:
giving eternal life (John 10:27-28). the bread of life (John 6:35, 51--an obvious allusion to the manna given by God out of heaven in 6:32-35). the way the truth and the life (John 14:6). the light of the world (John 8:12). proceeding from the Father (John 8:42). being the 'I am" (John 8:58)--see also Exodus 3:14. being one with the Father (John 10:30) for which the Jews wanted to kill him--see Lev. 24:16). sharing the glory of God before creation (John 17:5; note that God shares His glory with no one, Isaiah 42:8). calling Jesus His own Father making Himself equal with God (John 5:18). receiving the same honor that you give to the Father (John 5:23). knowing all things (John 21:17--something only God can do). And in John 18:5, in the Garden of Gethsemane when Jesus answers those who came to arrest Him with the statement, "I am," they fall back to ground. Is it safe to say that John in his gospel merely considers Jesus a man or even a special angel? Is a mere man or an angel the giver of eternal life, or is this something God does? Is a mere man or an angel the way, the truth, and the life or the light of the world? Is a creature one with the Father; or does a creature share in God's glory or even knowing all things? No. Not at all.
In the Book of Revelation John continues with OT themes dealing with God and applies them to Jesus in the book of Revelation.
"Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, 18and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades." (Rev. 1:17-18). "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: 'I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me." (Isaiah 44:6). "Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. 13"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." (Rev. 22:12-13). "Behold, the Lord God will come with might, with His arm ruling for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him." (Isaiah 40:10).
