John 8:12-19 and John 8:48-59 are very clear about Jesus' diety. Jesus forgives sins, accepts worship, says he has always existed, says he will judge the world at the end of time and claims to be the only way to heaven. His statement "I am" in 8:59 is translated directly as Yahweh, the Hebrew name for God (in Exodus 3:14 Moses asks for God's name, God tells him I AM). In John 10:30 Jesus says "I and the Father are one." More: http://www.godandscience.org/cults/jesus.html

It's not that they are the same God split up into different places. Genesis 1:26 reads "Let us make mankind in our image." If he were one person, who might he be talking to? Yet they have one will.
