Yes, but what if Jesus was not God? He would then have been lying or
deluded, and blaspheming as well in the eyes of Jews, Muslims etc. I
have met many peopel who thought they were Jesus. Once, we had two
Jesuses on the ward at the same time. We thought they might get into a
fight, but in an appropriately holy manner they both walked around
smiling and blessing everyone. They even forgave the staff for
disbelieving and giving them medication. I have to admit, they were nice
people, and others could learn from their example. But they were deluded.
Or at least one of them was. :-)

And Jesus said unto them, "And whom do you say that I am?"
They replied, "You are the eschatological manifestation of
the ground of our being, the ontological foundation of
the context of our very selfhood revealed."
And Jesus replied, "What??"
