He also performed miracles, which fulfills what a prophet is.
"After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." [John 17:1-3]
Jesus himself is telling you who the only true God is, and it's definitely not him. I was just discussing this with my friends on r/Christianity, and no amount of mental gymnastics can really make the trinity work in light of this verse.
Christianity is a religion about Jesus, not a religion of jesus.
Jesus said the most important commandment is the Oneness of God.

-Jesus teaches repentance for sins.(Luke 13:3 and 5)
-After Jesus leaves the earth, Peter, a disciple, tells the people that Jesus was a man who did miracles by God.(Acts 2:22)
Does it make sense?
First of all, everyone is guaranteed the christian paradise. Huh? So if God himself died for the sins of the people — Then what? What's left to accomplish? You live, you die. No purpose whatsoever. Doesn't matter if you constantly sin.
