Was the character deified by the first Christians by reinterpreting existing scriptures?

Description    

There is no doubt that Jesus was an extraordinary human being who drew crowds and had a notable impact on his followers. Jesus died in April of the year 30 or the year 33, and in a process of about 70 years after his death, he was deified. In the ancient world it was normal for a person to become deified but this does not mean that we know exactly what the divine position of Jesus was. In the cult it is clearly known that there is only one king and that king is God the father and that Jesus, deified, has a throne to the right of him. Therefore, there would be two powers in heaven, both divine but not equal.
