The OT talks about Christ coming and a human and eveything it says that will happen when the Christ does come happened when Jesus was born and throught his life.
Even if they realy talks about Christ, and it did happen, does the OT say anything about a divine human?. I don't think so!!!
Mat 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Mat 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
These verses say nothing about a divine nature of Jesus, unless you mean being the son of GOD. If you read what Jesus said, you will understand that he doesn't mean what you understand, because he was a Jew and all Jews believed that they are the sons of GOD.
I think you know this verse:
(king James Version)(John)(Jn-43-41)(Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.)
-----------------------------------------
Usually the son of GOD means that he was a righteous person. And Jesus didn't more than that.
Read the following:
(KJV)(Luke)(Lk-23-47)(Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.)
and look at the same situation here:
(king James Version)(Matthew)(Mt-40-54)(Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.)
Now you see that it was a commen expression to use the son of GOD to mean a righteous man.

Christ does say he and his father are one.
Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.
You simply took this verse out of context. If you read before this verse you will understand what did he mean by this. He was talking about a specific thing,
(king James Version)(John)(Jn-43-27)(My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: )
(king James Version)(John)(Jn-43-28)(And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.)
(king James Version)(John)(Jn-43-29)(My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.)
(king James Version)(John)(Jn-43-30)(I and my Father are one.)
I think it is very clear that he was talking about his sheeps, and he like his father only in this point. That no one can take his sheeps from him, not in general as you understand.

I think I do understand Jesus more than you do!!!
Don't put your faith between you and your Bible, let the Bible prove your faith, otherwise you will missread everything...
