Jesus is as he was in the Beginning - the Son of God - the first born of all creation, the first of the Sons of God and was known in his precarnate state as "the Angel of the Lord" as apposed to "a Angel of the Lord". Evident in Old Testament passages where he speaks as if God himself and is considered by witnesses (book of Genesis specificly) as seeing God himself (though no man can see God and live). He was and is the Exact! representation of God.
Jesus was then born into the flesh of a Virgin - and he grew into a flesh and blood man, having been made just a little less than the angelic standing he had before - and yet still commanding his post as the exact representation of God in Word and deed (The Word was with God in the Beginning, and the Word was God)
As a man - Jesus was a Prophet, a Teacher, Prince of Peace and Sacrificial Lamb for our sins. His name Emmanuel meaning God with us is evident in his status as God's exacting representative..., acting on God's behalf in proxy (Paul said of him - "there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the MAN, Christ Jesus").
Clear enough?

He is a Messenger and Prophet. How can he be God? God does not die, eat, pray... God is free from all needs.
The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is not God. In the Bible God is always someone else other than Jesus. Let me explain:
Peter stood up with the eleven disciples and addressed the crowd saying: “Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.” (Acts 2:22).
For Peter, Jesus was a servant of God. Peter said: “God raised up his servant...” (Acts 3:26). The title servant refers to Jesus. This is clear from a previous passage where Peter declared: “The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.” (Acts 3:13).
This Gospel, nevertheless, clearly teaches that Jesus is not God. If it did not continue this teaching, then it would contradict the other three Gospels and also the letters of Paul from which it is clearly established that Jesus is not God. We find here that Jesus was not co-equal with the Father, for Jesus said: “...the Father is greater than I.” (John 14:28).
John tells us that Jesus cannot do anything by his own when he quotes Jesus as saying: “By myself I can do nothing...” (John 5:30).
Paul, John, and the author of Hebrews believed that Jesus was God’s first creature, some of what they wrote clearly show that Jesus was a pre-existent powerful being. This is often misunderstood to mean that he must have been God. But to say that Jesus was God is to go against what these very authors wrote. Although these authors had this later belief that Jesus is greater than all creatures, they also believed that he was still lesser than God. In fact, John quotes Jesus as saying: “the Father is greater than I.” (John 14:28). And Paul declares that the head of every woman is her husband, the head of every man is Christ, and the head of Christ is God (see 1 Corinthians 11:3).
I end with :
This commandment was emphasized by Jesus, on whom be peace, when a teacher of the Law of Moses asked him: “‘Of all the commandments, which is the most important?’ ‘The most important one,’ answered Jesus, ‘is this: Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’” (Mark 12:28-30).

Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father Almighty.
As such he is one manifestion of three of a single Godhead.
Jesus is the redemer and savior, who died for our sins and was raised from the dead to be seated at the right hand of the Father, where he as the one who knows how it is to be fully human, and will judge the living and the dead..
God is Abba, Father and Creator, the God of Abraham and such the God of all muslims, jews, and christians.
The third manisfestion is Spirit as in the Holy Ghost. who moves across the face of the world, and is seen by it actions.

Jesus is Gods son. But He also said we are His sons too. Jesus is God's son who agreed to be sacrificed as an example of how much He loved us. He said "if you have seen Me , you have seen God." What He meant in context was that He was an example of what God was like. He always pointed us towards God and acknowledged the glory belongs to God and He called God His Father. There fore I believe that there is only one God and Jesus was the sacrifice for our sins.
