Which proves that Jesus is God.
As for the written word it is the written word.
Of course it is the Bible says so.
God came as a man to experience life for us. No one but God could do what He did.
Don't be silly and say that once I realize logos means message. EVERYTHING that Jesus said is God's word. Of course he gave a message. Jesus taught the way.
The Lord said to my lord means they are both the Lord.
Jesus is on the throne of God but you don't want to call him God.
Jesus says that he himself will live in the saved. So you do not have Jesus in you? Who do you think the Christ is?
John 17:26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."

There are similarities of course, but similarities do not prove identity.
Jesus as the son of God should resemble his Father in some ways even as any offspring should have some resemblance to their parents
However, to say that children are identical to their parents if foolishness.
Remember, Jesus had two parents. God and Mary. Jesus also resembles his mother in that Jesus is human and of the lineage of David.
However, Mary was a femaie, Jesus was a male
There is difference in gender.
Jesus is not Mary, and Jesus is not God.
If you wish to continue your line of thinking please consider this
You are a human, humans are animals, snails are animals, are your therefore a snail?
God is the word, the logos, the message
Jesus is the word, the logos, the message.
Scripture is the word, the logos, the message.
God authored scripture, but is your Bible God? No, but God is the source and sole originator of God's word.
God is the Father of Jesus Christ, but God is not flesh, God is spirit, John 4:24. Jesus is flesh, Jesus is human.
God chose to communicate His himself by various means. Hebrews 1:1-2
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
God did not become flesh, but the message which He wants us to know, the knowledge of the truth I Timothy 2:4, became flesh.
One reason we can know who God is so well, is because Jesus Christ, His son, lived God's word perfectly.
Thus we know God is compasshionate. God heals, God is light...
