My sister (a devout Muslim) always points out the me that
Jesus never refered to
himself in the scriptures as any of the above (Son of God, God, or part of
the Trinity) - only as “Son of Man”. Your picture clearly implies that Jesus
did say that about himself, which may be misleading. Of course, that is
exactly what Christians claim he is, sooo...

Lenny,
Christians would point to passages such as this from Mark 14:
61Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed
One?” 62”I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the
right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 63The high
priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64”You
have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?” 65They all condemned him as
worthy of death.
And claim that at that point Jesus did indeed claim equality with God, and that
the high priest recognized it as such, and that is why they condemned him.
There are many other passages where Christ either claims God’s qualities or took
on his role (e.g. forgiving sins, another thing that ticked off the religious
leaders, who rightly saw it as claiming God’s role).
For the Record, Brendan quotes Luke on that scene:

I don’t want to get into a debate on Christ’s identity, just to state the
Christian understanding.
