I think that folk have abundantly supplied you with Scriptures showing the divinity of Christ. What you might be better doing is to give some analysis of those Scriptures rather than sharing the ones that we all believe in, viz. that Jesus is God's Son with the Scriptures you've cited.
So, if you could give some exposition of say, John 1:1-14 for starters, we would have something to work on & discuss.
It seems that your faith hangs on a Doctrine, or rather as you require, a Statement to that effect. My faith hangs on the volume of evidence from the Scriptures showing me, in this instance of Christ's Deity, Who this Jesus is, of Whom it is claimed that He is both the Son of God & the Son of man.
If someone asked me for a Statement of the Doctrine of Salvation & I gave him John 3:16 as an example, what does that verse actually tell the uninformed about Salvation? That God sent His Son & if one believes in Him, he would receive everlasting life. Does this properly describe the Doctrine? Of course not. This is a part of the whole. Or with Acts 4:12?
The Doctrine must also include Who this Son is, how did He come, what did He do, His qualifications to do the work, etc., etc. To rest on (or look for) a Statement to support a huge doctrine is being rather naive about the matter, but only serves to show us that in order to propagate your belief, you have to "strain out a gnat & swallow a camel". In other words, one can be so focused on the minute, that they miss out on the complete teaching of the subject. And the fact that Jesus is both God & Man is not a doctrine of men but a clear teaching from the Word, which you choose to reject or avoid.
If you still care to, I'm still waiting for your understanding of John 1:1-14.
Yet you refuse to except the Fathers Gods witness and you want me to correct your confusion! I shown more truth to you than most people get in a life time and you still or in opposition! I get it ....
Thank you for the Truths you've given proving that Jesus is the Son of God. I have never disagreed with you on those Scriptures showing Jesus as God's Son. Yet you choose to avoid or reject clear Scriptures declaring Him to be part of the Eternal Godhead.
I'm not in opposition - you are by not wishing to expound John 1:1-14 as suggested. Therein lies a clear declaration of who Jesus is pre-incarnate & needs to be accepted as given. To deny the Word coming in the flesh as Jesus, is to deny the true God-head & brings to us that a clear warning that deception lies before us ( 1 John 4:1-3).
Read 1 John ch 5 v. 9 , 10 , 11 ,12 to see the importance of it .
At Jesus Baptism and the transfiguration, what did God say ?
And many other scriptures recorded by the writers in the New Testament.
Can you answer why God did not say this is me Jesus ? But rather this is my Son .

Show me a verse tha God says other wise !
At Jesus baptism and on the transfiguration before many witness this is recorded in the scriptures!
You prefer a doctrine of scriptures made by men .
Where is the doctrine in the scriptures? Of what you preach about Jesus ? Thanks I'll wait
