Ultimately I think that those who are here are going to find those points which support views they already have, so I suspect that trying to convince anyone of anything different than the opinions they already hold is a waste of time. Therefore, I'll just respond very briefly to the question which is the title of this thread.
Yes, I do believe that Jesus Christ claimed divinity. And I think that this claim was clearly understood by those who heard him speak in his own day. For this reason some followed him, some left him, and some ultimately sought to have him executed on the charge of blasphemy, and the reason they gave him was "because you, a mere man, claim to be God" (John 10:33).
