Why is there a distinction between God and Jesus?

Answer 1

In the earliest gospel, Mark's Gospel, the author described Jesus as having extraordinary powers and had God call him his Son, but does not appear to have believed Jesus to be God, for example: 6:5: And he (Jesus) could there do no mighty work;10:18 Why call me good. There is none good but God.

The Gospels of Matthew and Luke report that Jesus had a divine birth, but still do not consider Jesus to be truly divine. It is only John's Gospel that finally had Jesus unambiguously call himself God.

Early Christians emphasised that Jesus was the Son of God and generally saw him as God, but they do not seem to have been sure how. Even in the fourth century, Arius said that Jesus, while divine, was inferior to God, while Bishop Alexander insisted that Jesus was of one substance with God. Out of this dispute came the declaration in the Nicene Creed that Jesus and God were of one substance, leading to acceptance of the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. However, it was not until the end of the fourth century that this dispute was finally resolved by decree of Emperor Theodosius.

So, the distinction between Jesus and God has its beginning in the earliest years of Christianity. Today, most Christians support the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, that teaches that God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are three Gods in one God.
