>If we were Biblically based we would have a King who ruled until death and the his son would rule after. We would have NO say in who he was.

The Israelites wanted a King because all of their Pagan neighbors had a King. God had provided them with Judges, but they wanted a King. God told them them they would be sorry that they wanted a King, but gave them kings anyways to teach them a lesson.

Jesus was telling them that He is God, because God is The Great I AM.

The Jews in Jesus time did not believe that Jesus was God, because Jesus wasn't the Messiah that they had envisioned.
