In John 8:58, Jesus says, "Before Abraham was, I am." This phrase "I am" is the name of God revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14 ("I am who I am"), suggesting that Jesus is claiming to be God.
now most biblical scholars even critical bible scholars who can read the New Testament in its original greek language and its context believes that Jesus indeed claim that he is God
lets give 2 example
Bart Ehrman, a prominent scholar of the New Testament who identifies as agnostic, argues that Jesus' statement "I and the Father are one" in John 10:30 is a claim to be of the same essence as God, which implies his divinity (Ehrman, 2003, p. 176).

Maurice Casey, a late scholar of the New Testament who identified as an agnostic, argued that John 10:30 is a clear expression of Jesus' claim to be God. --Casey, Maurice (pp. 249-253, 1991)"From Jewish Prophet to Gentile God: The Origins and Development of New Testament Christology." Westminster John Knox Press.
agnostic and skeptics yan mga yan, they are critical on bible and religion, but they know how to read the NT in its original greek and context, they dont believe in God and the divinity of Jesus but they believes that Jesus claims that he is God.
Now syempre tutulan yan ng mga kultong INC at Saksi ni Jehovah na labas at hindi kasama sa matatawag na mga Kristyano (Sang ayon kay Ray Moncada na apologist ng 7 Days Adventist ang INC daw at saksi ni Jehovah ang dalawang sulpot na samahang hindi kabilang sa mga tinatawag na Kristyano
) na naniniwala si Jesus ay tao, pero kung isa ka mananampalataya, kanino ka ba maniniwala sa mga ulupong na nag sasabi hindi nag angkin ng pagka diyos si Jesus na mga hindi naman nagpakadalubhasa sa pag aaral ng bibliya sa original na lenggwahe at konteksto, o sa mga bible scholars na buong buhay ay ginugol sa pagka dalubhasa at pag aaral ng bibliya at pagbabasa nito sa orihinal nitong lenggwahe at kunteksto???
I dont believe that Jesus is god, the point here is i just answering your question "Diyos ba talaga si Jesus"?
the answer is Yes and NO:
YES para kay Jesus ay diyos siya at nagpakilala siyang Diyos
NO dahil he is very human, namatay nga diba?
may Diyos ba namanatay? Now the best explanation i can give you why Jesus is not god is based on Historical Context, the concept of a divine savior was not unique in the ancient world. Many cultures and pagan religion had myths of gods who became human and then returned to the divine realm. the idea of jesus as a divine savior have been influenced by cultural and historical factors.
