Did Jesus turned in to be anti-Christ as people do believe he is God and not can see behind Jesus and see the true GOD ?

It is not Jesus in himself as he never said he was God but emperor Constantine I made up that Jesus was God.

You say an anti-Christ is one who blocks a god. Then you say, Jesus did not block a god, Constantine blocked a god.

The Church at Nicaea concluded, the Son was God and not a creature, he was true God of true God.

The Athanasian Creed [Wikipedia], also called the Pseudo-Athanasian Creed and sometimes known as Quicunque Vult (or Quicumque Vult) which is both its Latin name and opening words meaning “Whosoever wishes”, is a Christian statement of belief focused on Trinitarian doctrine and Christology. The creed has been used by Christian churches since the sixth century. It is the first creed in which the equality of the three persons of the Trinity is explicitly stated. It differs from the Nicene-Constantinopolitan and Apostles’ Creeds in the inclusion of anathemas, or condemnations of those who disagree with the creed (like the original Nicene Creed).

Are you saying no one elevated Jesus to god before Constantine? That does not seem to be correct.

Is there a problem accepting the verses in the New Testament which elevated Jesus to a god? See this link:
** you do not have permission to see this link **

Maybe someone remembers what Bart Ehrman stated in his book, How Jesus Became God.
I vaguely remember the resurrection pushing Jesus into god-status.

Although the New Testament elevated Jesus to god, this is in the description of Bart’s book:

The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. But this is not what the original disciples believed during Jesus’s lifetime—and it is not what Jesus claimed about himself.

Your definition of anti-Christ is not broad enough. Here is a standard definition of the term:

a personal opponent of Christ expected to appear before the end of the world.
“the battle between Christ and the Antichrist”
a person or force seen as opposing Christ or the Christian Church.
