Christians believe and will insist that Jesus Christ was and is God, but it was actually ancient Jewish apocalyptic esotericism that laid the foundations of the Christian faith, and the Christian faith actually began as a failed apocalyptic cult. The apostle Paul's vision as recorded in 2 Corinthians 12 set the stage for the Christian faith, and it is very likely that Paul was a practitioner of Jewish ascent mysticism. I offer this video for your consideration.
I would also like to recommend Bart Ehrman's excellent book, "How Jesus Became God", which you can find here.
