You are absolutely 100% correct. Jesus is God the Son and the Father is God the Father. While they are separate people, I dont think its paradoxical at all being that our kids that we bear are made up of our DNA, strikingly look and act a lot like us, and are given an inheritance and authority. The same is true for God but on a bigger scale and more complex to the point of us not understanding the exact science behind it yet the pattern for the Trinity is clearly laid out in Scripture.

not necessarily -- and absolutely not. the details too long to fit here -- any of us could answer in a different way. Paradox no. Oxymoron? No idea what it really means, so no here either. This subject is due for a PhD thesis and to explain it in a few words and a couple of paragraphs will not do justice either to J.C. and or the Maker! I don't yet rest my case -- but for the time being, yes.

The answer is No and here is why,
It is written as Jesus said, "The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself but the father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the work..."
Who does the work? God himself.
"Dwelleth" or "Dwelt" is not manifestations. Manifestations means, Act of being manifesting or state of being manifested.
The word "Dwelleth" or "Dwelt" means, to live, Inherent or existing in someone or something as permanent and inseparable quality or attribute.
Conclusion, God reside in His Son, Jesus Christ.
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." John 1:14, KJV
God's plan, the Word was make a human.
This is the reason why Jesus Christ didn't or never say these word, "I Am God" in the New Testament because Jesus never believed himself to be God.

Think of it this way;
H2O, (water) can change into 3 different states, solid, liquid, gas.
So it is also with God, who with all things are possible can take different forms as well, such as Jesus, (who was both fully God and fully man at the same time) and the Holy Spirit, (The Spirit that dwells inside those who believe in God's promise)

No. God's name is Jehovah. His Son's name is Jesus. They are separate individuals. Jesus said his Father is greater than he is. See John 14:28. God is also Jesus' head. See 1 Cor. 11:3

Jesus is God, God is Jesus, Holy Spirit is Jesus, God is Holy Spirit. Ex. An egg. There are three parts to an egg:
the yellow part,
the white part,
and the shell....
This three make up 1 egg.

Jesus said, I and my father are one, so yes, they are.
They are neither a paradox nor an oxymoron.

It is part of the Trinity. God the father, the son and the Holy Spirit.
Something I could never wrap my head around.
Many other religions actually have that concept too.....not just Christianity.

Jesus God and the holy Spirit are separate but one and the same. However you want to put it, that is the truth :)

i dont think anyone really knows what the relationship between jesus and god is. cause on one hand. if jesus and god are the same, then jesus/god was praying to himself and said "father why have you foresaken me" but was talking to himself. if he is not the same then christians are worshipping a false god, and destined to hell.
