Is Jesus God? – Logical questions that need answers

Is Jesus God? 
The Bible is the Word of God. It tells us about the life and death — and resurrected life — of the greatest man who ever lived. His name is Jesus Christ. For centuries men have debated the identity of this unique man. Was he God? Was he a “mere” man? How did he do the things he did?
We assert that the answers lie in the Bible. If so, the question is: “What does the Bible say?” 
Here is a list of logical questions, with pertinent scripture verses, to help us know whether or not Jesus is God Almighty.
Question #1: If Jesus is God, how could he die for our sins?
Question #2: How can Jesus be “God” and have a “God” at the same time?
Question #3: If Jesus was sitting at the right hand of God in heaven when the book of Revelation was written, why does Jesus continue to make such clear statements that our heavenly Father is his “God” if he himself is God?
Question #4: If God cannot be tempted by evil, yet Jesus was tempted in every way we are, how can he be God?
Question #5: If Jesus is God, then why does he pray to God and call Him “the only true God” in John 17:3?
Question #6: If Jesus is God, why did he pray at all?
Question #7: If Jesus is God, why did he say to his disciples: “Trust in God; trust also in me”?
Question #8: According to the doctrine of the Trinity, the Father and Son are co-equal. If that is true, how can the Father be (in any way) greater than Jesus?
Question #9: How can Jesus “be like us in every way” and still be “100% man and 100% God”?
Question #10: If Jesus is God and God cannot be tempted, why would the Devil tempt Jesus?


We believe that Jesus Christ came as the "Last Adam" (second Adam) to restore the failure of the first Adam, he was a perfected Adam, a restored "Tree of Life". 
God´s plan and will was for the first Adam not to fall, Eve and Adam were not supposed to eat the forbidden "fruit". 
The coming of the Savior and Messiah Jesus was a consequence of the human failure in the Garden of Eden.
Logically there is no pre-existence of a Savior, Messiah, Jesus.
The Last Adam, must be born from God´s lineage, separated from the influence of satan, without original sin. Mary, Jesus´s mother, was chosen after a long history of foundation of faith, of sacrifice, she had a purified womb to bear a sinless child.
