Jesus is God ! Yes ! Check 1John4 also. This is the test of spirituality. Jesus asked Peter:" Who do you say that I am ?" in Mattew chapter 16. Jesus is God ! This is only revealed by divine revelation. Jesus went on to say " flesh and blood did not reveal this to you but my Father in heaven revealed this to you."
Philippians 2: 5-11, says that who being nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness, and being found in appearance as a man Humbled Himself and became obedient to death even death on a cross, therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every name should bow in heaven and under the earth and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus the Man prayed to His Father.
P.S. The Word, Creator Himself, become flesh.
Those who are messed up (not understanding correctly) are those who do not see that it was the Word who became flesh and in that role, He was the Son. I hope and pray that I have not illegally parked, I would hate to get "tow up".

That's true. Strong's says it applies to many other situations as well:apparently a primary word; a "son" (sometimes of animals), used very widely of immediate, remote or figuratively, kinship:--child, foal, son
So what does Scripture show us about that use, and how does that Scripture prove Jesus is God?

Ken,
I am curious, seeing that you are knowledgeable, what do the Jews make of the following found in the Old Testament: Kiss the hand of the Son while He is yet a little angry? What do they make of the "Messenger (Angel) of the Lord", as compared to the Messenger He sent with a new Covenant, do they connect this Messenger as one and the same?

i do not have any knowledge on the first. I assume it refers to the son of the landlord of your property, not to the Son of God. It probably underlies Jesus' parable, about the onwer sending servant after servant, and then his son. In Ps. 2:12 it is of course prophetic of Jesus, but there is no reason for the Jews to acknolwedge that. Until one knows jesus, there is no reason to believe Messiah will be an actual pre-existent Son of God. It works in context as using an earthly custom to determine the deference we owe God.
All I know about the angel of the Lord is that it sometimes refers to a being (angel like Michael) and can also refer to a man. Since the Hebrew word is the same for both, one often cannot tell what is meant. Consider the confusion in the original text about the destoryers of Sodom and Gomorrah. It is used in so many contexts. I have never heard of the Messiah being termed an angel. Everything I have heard is that Messiah is called Messiah. Since most of the Jews did not acknowledge Jesus as either, there are very few writings on the subject. The few Jews who did (the original Jerusalem Church) have been pretty much lost to history.
