Just as my human sons share my humanity so Jesus as God's Son shares the divine nature of the Father. Jesus put it quite plainly in the Gospel of John when asked when He said "I and the Father are one." Jesus is thus simultaneously God's Son and God. The two are not exclusive.

The answer is very biblical clear, God is the Father and Jesus is his Son.

They are not the same person being. God is the one and only creator of all things that was created and made visible and invisible in heaven and earth and the seas.

God the Father created,form,and made Jesus Christ to be by his spoken word.

When Jesus said "I and my Father are one" -he was not saying that he was God the same. God is himself and Jesus is himself the two of them are one by what the scriptures has said, that God was in Christ and Christ was in God by God's spirit and God's truth was in Jesus, that Jesus loved and obey ,this is what Jesus said how he is one with the Father, not that he is God or a god.

To be one with God is to have his spirit inside of your soul and mind (born again) and to be with God by loving his truth and obeying it, this makes Jesus and mankind one with God. Jesus did not say "I and the Father is God", then that would be implying that Jesus confess he was the very God himself.

If you search The Bible correctly you will see that it mentions God himself and Jesus himself-If they are one in the same being then there's no need to mention them separately as himself.

Some visualize God an amorphous blob who can never be comprehended. However, God can be understood perhaps more clearly by thinking of what the Trinity is. Some analogies are well and truly outdated and make no sense today (eg the one with candles), and perhaps the best one today is to think of GOD overall as a COMPANY, with 3 sections for FACTORY, OFFICE, & SALES. There are three parts to this company, they are all separate, yet it is just the one company. In the same way, there is one God, but made up of three bodies: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As to who Jesus is, look at Creation:

In Genesis, it says God created everything, including man:-

Gen 1:1, 26-27 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.... (v.26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (v.27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

However, in the New Testament John says the Wordcreated everything, and that this "Word" was God:-

John 1:1-2, 14 KJV In the beginning was theWord, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (v.2) The same was in the beginning with God. (v.3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.... (v.14) And the Word was made flesh [ie as a man, Jesus Christ], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Later, The Bible says specifically that the creator was Jesus Christ:-

Col 1:13-18 (KJV) ..his dear Son [ie Jesus Christ]: (14) In whom we have redemption through his [ie Jesus Christ] blood, even the forgiveness of sins: (15) Who [ie Jesus Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: (16) For by him [ie Jesus Christ] were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: (17) And he [ie Jesus Christ] is before all things, and by him all things consist. (18) And he [ie Jesus Christ] is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he [ie Jesus Christ] might have the preeminence.

This means that God [ie 1/3 of the Trinity] created Man and Woman, that the Holy Spirit [ie another 1/3 of the Trinity] caused Jesus Christ [ie another 1/3 of Trinity] to be born to one of His own creations - Woman, who was made from Man [by one of Adam's ribs] in the first place, so this makes Jesus entitled to call Himself both the Son of Man and the Son of God. Think of Jesus as God and you won't be far wrong!

AS to who created God and when, modern scientists (ie from Einstein onwards) have known that TIME is a physical dimension (eg rocket scientists, astrophysicists, astronomers speak of 'Space-Time") and that Time therefore had to have been created at some point in time. (Evolution advocates say everything originated with a Big Bang at some point in time, but do not explain how this 'Time' came about in the first place. They also say (correctly) that it can be seen that the Universe is 'winding down' because of the 1st & 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics and that it must have an end sometime. Logically, if something has an end it must also have a beginning.) Man cannot explain where Time comes from: it is a physical creation that had to have been made at some time and is going to die, and as it is physical it must have been created by God.

God is not linear: He doesn't appear at the start of a Timeline: instead of thinking of 'Time' as a straight line with a start and finish, think of it as a circle with God outside that circle. (It would also explain why God can see "the end from the beginning" in Prophecy.) God has always existed and is outside the dimensions of Time and Space.

Jesus is both the Son of God and God: there is no 'if' about it.

Another answer:

God is the Creator and Ruler of all. He, therefore, has no father or mother or someone/something who created Him. He is Almighty, everlasting to everlasting, omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. God is All-Powerful. He is fair, forgiving, great, honest, just, kind, loving, merciful and understanding. God is purely spirit; therefore, He has no bones and flesh.

Jesus Christ, on the other hand, is man, and therefore, He has bones and flesh. Christ is not God, for He is the Son of God. If we were to believe that Christ is both God and the Son of God, would it not be considered absurd? How can one be the child of oneself? There is really no logic to it. Anyway, Christ is the only mediator between God and men. He is the Lord and Savior. He was created to be without sin. No deceit was found in His mouth. He died on the cross for us. A few days later, though, He was resurrected and sent to Heaven to live forever and ever with God, Our Father.

For clear proof that God and Jesus are not the same as the other, read John 17:3. God clearly stated in the Bible that He is God and not man and will never be a man. God cannot die. Though, Christ died, so this proves that Christ is not God but the son of God.
