Why can Jews believe that Jesus was G-d?
Jesus was a man, a man of flesh and bone. In Numbers 23:19 and Hoshea 11:9, G-d clearly states that G-d is not a man. It is illogical to think that G-d would tell the Jewish people repeatedly (and there are more similar examples in the Bible) that G-d is not a man, only to come as a man centuries later. The belief in gods coming in the form of men was a common pagan belief in the religions surrounding Judaism, but not in Judaism. The Egyptians, Romans and Greeks are just a few of the major cultural/religious groups that believed in gods who would come in the forms of men, however, G-d clearly states in the Bible that these pagan beliefs are not accurate.
