If Jesus Christ were the Almighty God, why did he say this to Mary?
"Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God" (John 20:17 KJV). "You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I (John 14:28 NIV). If Jesus were God why did he tell Mary he would be going to his God? If Jesus Christ were God, why did he say, "the Father is greater than I?"
Who is God?
"That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth" (Psalm 83:18 KJV).
Is there a God?
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1ASV). If there is no God, where did everybody and everything come from?

Re: God and Jesus are two spiritual beings.Bible Research, Unregistered Here are some further references that prove Almighty God Jehovah and His Son Jesus the Christ are two spiritual beings:
Jesus said that no one can come to him unless the Father draws him. John 6:44
John 14:28 – Father is greater than Christ. Christ himself said so.
John 14:15,16 – Christ prays to His Father.
John 20:17 – Christ ascended to His God.
Psalm 110:1,2 – Christ sits at His Father’s side.
Mark 13:32 – God knows the time, but Christ does not.
Also, read Proverbs 30:4, which refers to God and His Son, saying “…what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?”
John 17:3 says it is life eternal to know both the Father and the Son. It is worth proving to yourself.
4. Re: what do you believe?John Crawmer, Unregistered John Crawmer: Do you believe in two gods then from your comment? You said that "there are TWO spiritual beings". What does this mean?
— Guest UserI apologize for the confusion. There are many spiritual beings. Most importantly there is Almighty God (Jehovah, or YHWH), He created another being, His only begotten son, now known as Jesus the Christ and there are many angels also. "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel" (Hebrews 12:22-24). 3. what do you believe?Guest User, Unregistered John Crawmer: Do you believe in two gods then from your comment?

2. Who is the Word?Bible Research, Unregistered Jesus is God because if he were not why does chapter 1 in st. john say in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God ........and the word was God and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. — Guest UserI'm glad you asked this question, as this has many times been brought to my attention as a way to prove Jesus Christ is God. However, using all the scriptures truly does give us evidence that there are two spiritual beings. I have quoted a reference below that gives us another example that Jesus Christ is referred to as "the word." In response to John 1:1 - Jesus Christ is the word, "Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And he who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called The Word of God" (Revelation 19:11-15 NKJV).
