Is Jesus everything that God is? Or, is there anything that God is that Jesus isn't?

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14
John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

They are everything together and apart. God sent Jesus in the flesh and therefore, he could not look upon Jesus as he bore our sins in that condition; which might be considered a differentiation; but even in that I believe God felt every pound of the nails in his sons flesh, and he felt the ugliness of the sin upon his precious child's soul, whether he could look upon it or not; so I believe they remained everything together and apart. Jesus was still Deity on earth and the Father gave everything into his power for the sacrifice he made. Even the Holy Spirit that indwells us as Christians is still a remaining part of everything together with God and Jesus and that is why we can experience the peace that passeth understanding and joy overflowing; it's also why we can feel abandoned by God when we have sins, known or unknown harbored in our hearts that we have not confessed. It's not because God moved, it's because the Holy Spirit has convicted us and has had to turn his head away, just as God did from Jesus. This was a most excellent question. Many will not understand its depth and context, but without the three and the oneness of the three, we might as well have no God at all. I do agree that on earth even Jesus, as stated above, did not know when his return for the saints would be, but I do believe in heaven he does know. There is no proof of such belief on my part other than common sense - had Christ known on earth, can you imagine how many people whould have been too wrapped up in the next coming instead of learning how to live until then?

Jesus was God made flesh, yes. But Jesus is the Son; God is the Father. The bible tells us only God knows the date of the return of Jesus...not even the son knows. This confuses me, because I believe Jesus was God made flesh and I would think He would know everything, then. But apparently, at least not this.
Thankfully, I don't have to understand everything; I just believe in the one who does.

The only difference is that Jesus is God the Son. God the Holy Spirit is on earth, and God the Father is in heaven with Jesus.

Jesus iscreated in the likeness of his heavenly Father, ans God is the Almighty most High Jesus is not Almighty. nor Most High. because God is above Jesus,God is Higher. Although Jesus is Mighty and High above other creation he is not even equal to God the Almighty Jesus is Mighty but not AlmightyNo one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only,[a][b]who is at the Father's side, has made him known.(John1:18)
So Jesus cannot be God since people have seen him yet John1:18 plainly says that no one has ever seen God and yet people use this very chapter as Proof of the trinity too bad they do not read more of the Chapter and study the context!

God knows things that Jesus does not know. Jesus mentions that only his Father knows when the world will end, for example.
And God is different in that God created the world. He conceived Jesus, but he created everything else.

Jesus and God are one in the same. The Father the Son and the Holy Ghost.

Jesus was, according to Scripture, "The fullness of God in a man when He walked the Earth incarnate. Now, in a glorified state he is equal to Yahweh as His ONLY begotten Son.

Jesus cannot be the Father, nor can the Father be the Son.
As far as what they are such as omnipotent , omnipresent, etc........... they are equal. No wait a minute. .......
Jesus cannot be omnipresent because He is in a human body. We have the Holy Spirit to help fill that void.
At least that is what I think off the top of my head. I have obviously not studied it out.
I have confused myself.
