Wow amazing. great job on this write-up. I especially like how you began with a definition of deity and then consistently tied your explanation back to scripture. That gives your work a strong foundation.

Your use of John 20:28 is one of your strongest points. When Thomas calls Jesus “My Lord and my God,” Jesus does not correct him. For a Jewish man to call anyone “my God” would be blasphemy unless it were true. Jesus accepting that title shows He truly is divine.

In John 17:1–2, you correctly show that Jesus calling God His Father points to a unique relationship, not just a human one. Also, His authority to give eternal life is something only God can possess, which further supports His deity.

Your explanation of John 10:17–18 is also solid thanks mam. Jesus claims authority to lay down His life and take it again. As the Old Testament teaches, power over life and death belongs to God. This shows Jesus shares divine authority while still acting in unity with the Father.
