Good question...He did say that He and the Father are one. He did say that He only did what He saw His Father doing. He did say I AM HE

This is guaranteed - there isn't a single verse in the many versions of the widely accepted Bibles where Jesus is quoted as saying "I am God". He doesn't even say "worship me" anywhere. . As for "son of God" well you don't have to be an American or a cowboy movie fan to know that if someone calls you a "son of a gun" he's neither implying that you came out of a gun, like a bullet does, nor that you so resemle a gun that you could be mistaken for one. If you put such literal interpretation on the phrase "son of a gun" you might be regarded as out of touch with reality. The same applies to the phrase "son of God". If you want a scriptural backing then consider Romans 8:14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God"

Beside what Alwaysrunning2him posted, there was also the one that got Him crucified. The Jews understood that only God can forgive sins. When He, a good Jewish boy, said "your sins are forgiven" they knew exactly what He meant. They called Him a blasphemer and they hauled Him before Pilate to be killed. They knew that when He said "you sins are forgiven" He was shouting loud and clear, "I am God."

Yes. During Christ's trial, the chief priests asked Him point blank, "Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God." And He said, "I am." (Mark 14:60-62) "Yes, it is as you say." (Matt. 26: 63-65) "You are right in saying I am." (Luke 22:67-70) These are all ways of saying the same thing, written by different authors. In Exodus 3:14, God says "I AM who I AM." In John 8:58, Jesus says "Before Abraham was, I AM" in reference to Himself.

At Jesus' baptism, the voice of God was heard saying "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17; Mark 1:11; Luke 3:22).

sure. There are numerous passages....I'll put down a few :) Hebrews 1:1-3 says.... 1In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.3The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. Titus 2:13 13while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, Daniel 7:14 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. John 14:10 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.

The title "son of God" was a phrase used to describe the descendants of David, in particular those who ascended to the throne. It was, in essence, the title of anyone claiming to be a messiah. This is derived from Psalm 2 (see below). Psalm 2:7 I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me [David], "You are my Son, today I have become your Father." On the other hand Jesus never claimed divinity and often insisted that he was "less" than "the father" who had sent him, eg John 14:28 "My father is greater than I", Mark 13:31-33, John 5:30, Matthew 19:16-17 and others.

He referred to the Creator as "father".. so unless he was feeling his feminine side we can call him the son.
-
He referred to the God of the Jews as His Father and He in one verse said, "I and my Father are one". So that would be a yes on both accounts, simply.
