That is all I can find too. Passages that say, "I'm like my dad." being interpreted as, "I am my dad."
And all these come from the Gospel of John, not the three Gospels written closer in time to the alleged events.
If you read the first three Gospels, you can't find anything to justify the assertion that Jesus was supposed to be God incarnate. Jesus and Yahweh speak to each other in 2nd person, of each other in 3rd person, Jesus claims to have no knowledge of what Yahweh knows (when the second coming will be), and Jesus submits to Yahweh's will (prayer at the Garden before his crucifixion).
