Jesus is God.
We have discussed about this numerous times in various threads, but I don't know if there is a specific thread devoted to this. I have to bring this issue up again due to my response at another subject (which is not related to this one), because I'm not sure if this evidence had been brought up.
I quoted a Bible verse, and it occurred to me that it is another evidence - without a doubt - that shows Jesus and God are One and the Same.
John 20
Jesus Appears to Thomas
24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Thomas referred to Jesus as "my Lord and my God!" If Jesus is not God, Jesus would've undoubtedly corrected Him.
The response of Jesus is also interesting. Instead of correcting Thomas, He said: "Because you have seen me, you have believed." His response could also be a double entendre.
