A challenging question

Do those who say Jesus is God, Jesus is Yhwh, even Jesus is the Father, do you ever wonder why the gospels do not say this? Not even John’s gospel where it speaks about the Word. Why do they vast majority of verses in the New Testament never get close to saying it, even when the opportunity was right there, such as when Jesus was accused of saying it by the Jews? Even verses which some claim do suggest it are almost without exception unreliably translated, controversially copied and translated. Ever wonder why? Never does the New Testament set of scriptures ever include phrases like ‘God the Son’. Why might this be? Yet everywhere it is stated plainly that the Father is God. Why is that? Even Jesus plainly calls the Father, ‘the One True God’. Everywhere Jesus claims to be the Son of this Father, the Son of God. Would he make this clear if he believes he is actually God? When Jesus is speaking of the Father as the One True God he emphasises that he himself, Jesus Christ, is sent by this One True God. When accused of implying he is God, again he emphasises that he is sent by God the Father. Why is this? Is he lying? Did he get it wrong and theologians in later centuries who never met him get it right?  Did you who never met him get it right?
