Allow me to work through these quotes point by point.
"Do I believe...": The key here is your addition (which I know you added for emphasis) of "My chosen successor." First, this is a theological addition, not a clarification. Second, "successor" (by definition) implies that the one currently in charge, God, is stepping down and receding His position to, Christ, the man. IE: God is letting a Man rule Heaven and earth. That simply cannot be right. The worst part of this is not just the poor word choice, but the theological implications.
All your Scripture references: You have altered words to place distinction. For example, the Deut quote replacing God with YHVH. Why? The simple answer is to add a distinction so your theory and doctrine will be proved true. But altering creates an unsound foundation, for it is easily destroyed since to prove a theory/doctrine, it required altering verses.
Catholic Study Edition: Once again, you added emphasis, which alters the reading. It does not say "Not Jesus." It doesn't hint to "not Jesus." The creed recited by Catholics since 325 AD is "I believe in One Lord Jesus Christ. Born of the Father before all ages. God from God. Light from Light. True God from True God. Begotten not made. Consubstantial with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and our salvation, He came down from Heaven, and by the Holy Spirit, was incarnate of the Virgin Mary. He became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered death and was buried. And rose again on the third day, in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right Hand of the Father." It goes on. But that is enough to prove my point.
Did the people believe: Some did. Few yes, but some. The disciples certainly believed. There are plenty of quotes, letters, and entire Books (Gospels) to support this. Did the Jews believe? Of course not. That is why they wanted Him killed. He was a blasphemer to them. Saying "I Am," and "The Father and I are one." They knew what He was saying. He was saying He was God.
Jesus never denied His authority. He above all gave glory and honor to God, the Father. But He never denied Himself. Your point of "Jesus admits that he never spoke one word of his authority..." is a twisting of the quote to fit within the confines of your doctrine.
If those were the words of the man Jesus...: Once again, a twisting of what the passages say and reveal. Once again, twisted to fit within your doctrine. Centuries of scholars are in disagreement with you. Sure, Gnostics are in agreement. Even Mormons. But not anyone who actually reads and studying the Bible, history, ancient cultures, etc.
Careful, scholastic, and academic reading: Once again, false. As before, centuries of scholars, academics, etc all disagree. The Trinity is a doctrine that has been held since Christ's resurrection. Even the apostles taught it. Peter, in the Gospel, professed it in Matthew 16, and at the Transfiguration (Matthew 17, Luke 9:28-36).
What is evident is an altering of Scriptures, twisting of meanings, and deliberate ignoring of passages in order to create a doctrine of "Christ is man only."

S-word Responds........When the Son of Man,
(Mankind is the bride of God) who is the Son of God, was about to come into the world, he said to God; “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me.”
Question: Whose was the body that God had prepared for his anointed one?
Were the miracles that were performed through the man Jesus, his own miracles, or were they the Miracles of our Father, our parental spirit, who dwells behind the veil of the flesh, within the inner most sanctuary of his temporary tent, which is the body of mankind as he awaits the creation of his glorious Temple of Light?
Were the words spoken through Jesus in reference to his body; “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up?” His own words, or were they the words of our Lord who raised the man Jesus from death?
Acts 17: 30-31; God has over looked the times when people did not know him, but now he commands all of them everywhere to turn away from their evil ways. For he has fixed a day in which he shall judge the whole world with Justice by means of a
MAN he has
CHOSEN. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising that
MAN from death.
Question: “Who was this MAN, who our Lord raised from death?
Could this MAN be the one spoken of in Isaiah 42: 1; The Lord says; Here is my servant, whom I strengthen------the one I have
CHOSEN with whom I am pleased. I have filled him with my spirit, and he will bring Justice to every nation, etc.
Could this MAN whom the Lord had CHOSEN and who he filled with his spirit, which was all the wisdom, knowledge and insight that had been gained by our Father in his ascension to the ends of time, be the man Jesus, who was culmination of all the spirits of the righteous who had paid the blood price for sin, who were then judged and separated from the unrighteous dead and who were gathered to the living evolving spirit of our Father ‘Enoch’ within the bosom of Abraham?
Concerning Enoch himself, we read in the book of Enoch the prophet, chapter 37: 4; “Until the present day such wisdom has never been given by the Lord of Spirits as I have received according to my insight, according to the good pleasure of the Lord of Spirits by whom the lot of eternal life has been given unto me.
That is verified in Hebrew 11: 5.
In chapter 39; Enoch speaks of the elect one of righteousness that he saw in his vision, and in verse 8, he says; “There I wished to dwell. And my spirit longed for that dwelling place: and there henceforth hath been my portion. For so hath it been established concerning me before the Lord of Spirits.”
In chapter 49, when speaking of the elect one of righteousness, the dwelling place of Enoch, verse 3; Enoch says; “In him dwells the spirit of wisdom, and the spirit that gives insight, and the spirit of understanding and of might,
AND THE SPIRIT OF THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. And he shall judge the secret things, and none shall be able to utter a lying word before him, for he is the elect one before the Lord of Spirits according to his good pleasure.
Chapter 51; “And in those days, the elect one of righteousness shall sit upon my throne,” says our Father Enoch.
The only way that (The Son of man) who has to pay the death penalty for the sins of the body (Mankind) in which he develops, could die, was to cease to be an individual entity, by releasing all of the spirits who had fallen asleep in righteousness, and who had been gathered to him, in his ascension to the ends of time, these were they who came out of their graves when Jesus gave up his indwelling spirit. But before the Anointed one gave up his life, He chose the Man Jesus as his son and the successor to his heavenly throne.
While the spirits that are he, now live within the inner spiritual dimension, gathering to themselves, all the spirits of their descendants, who fall asleep in righteousness, and when each of them has gathered the required number, whose righteous blood will be the ransom price for one of their living descendants, they, like Enoch, will choose an earthly host body to fill with their living Spirits, and they, the resurrected body of the anointed one, who are the first resurrection of the dead, see Revelation 20: 5; will take the thrones that have been prepared for them and reign as kings for a thousand years.
Chapter 104: 12; Then I know another mystery, that books shall be given to the righteous and the wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom. And to them shall the books be given, and they shall believe in them and rejoice over them, and then shall all the righteous who have learned there from all the paths of uprightness be recompensed.
Enoch our Father, then goes on to say in 105: 1; In those days the Lord bade them to summons and testify to the children of earth concerning their wisdom: Show it unto them; for ye are their guides, and a recompense over the whole earth.
FOR I AND MY SON will be united with them forever in the paths of uprightness in their lives; and ye shall have peace; rejoice ye children of uprightness, Amen.
108: 11; And now (Says Enoch) I will summons the spirits of the good who belong to the generation of Light, and I will transform those who were born in darkness, who, in the flesh were not recompensed with the honour as their faithfulness deserved. And I will bring forth in shining light those WHO HAVE LOVED MY HOLY NAME, and I will seat each one on the throne of his honour. And they shall be resplendent for times without number.
