If it is the case, how can the Son be at the same time the Father?

No, they are two different spirit persons, but are united in their thinking and are in full accord with each other. At GENESIS 2:24 consider what God says regarding a marraige--" Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Notice, it says one flesh---when a man takes a wife, does that mean that the husband is also the wife in the same body? No, of course not, but that is how people think of God and his Son. When the Bible says that God and Jesus are "one" it means they are separate, yet in agreement with each other.
Jesus said this in prayer to his Father in heaven at JOHN 17:11--
"And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are."
Jesus was praying about his disciples, that they would be "one" just as he and God were "one"
Did the disciples actually become one person or were they one in unity?
No matter how you try to reason with Trinitarians, they cannot seem to grasp the truth about who the true God really is. They insist on worshipping a triad of Gods. Jesus is the mediator between us and Jehovah God (PSALM 83:18).
Jesus was exalted to be a Prince and Saviour as stated at ACTS 5:31--"Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins."

Jesus is not simply a prophet..He is alive..He is the promised Messiah..
Jesus is not the same person as the Father. In the doctrine of the Trinity there are three persons in the Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We use the term "person" to describe each of the three because each displays attributes of personhood. Each has a will, speaks, loves, is self aware, and is aware of others. Yet, the Bible teaches that there is only one God (Isaiah 43:10; 44:6,8; 45:5,14,18,21,22). Therefore, the person of the Son is not the same person as the Father. They speak to each other and have their own wills.
Jesus is God in human flesh. He is not half God and half man. He is fully divine and fully man. That is, Jesus has two distinct natures: divine and human. Jesus is the Word who was God and was with God and was made flesh, (John 1:1,14). This means that in the single person of Jesus is both a human and divine nature. The divine nature was not changed. It was not altered. He is not merely a man who "had God within Him" nor is he a man who "manifested the God principle." He is God, second person of the Trinity. "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word," (Heb. 1:3)
1 Tim. 2:5 says, "For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." Right now, there is a man in heaven on the throne of God. He is our advocate with the Father (1 John 2:1). He is our Savior (Titus 2:13). He is our Lord (Rom. 10:9-10). He is Jesus.

Three distinct individuals making one God
God the Father
God the Son
God the Holy Spirit.
People have been trying to explain the Triune God, but since God is infinite, our finite minds have a hard time grasping this.
I had one pastor give the analogy of the Egg - the Shell is not the egg, neither is the yolk or the white - but all together they are the egg. This falls short in that each individual person of God is God.
I had another try to explain that I am a wife, a mother and a daughter, but I am one person. But once again, I feel this falls short in that I am not a daughter to my children, and so forth.
I believe that God is all three persons, distinct, but wholly God, yet one God. It is something I have to take on faith because I am a finite being and do not have complete understanding.

Jesus and God are not one person, as God is a power, nor male or female. Jesus is a male person, mother of Mary. People who think Jesus is God's son are not doing a good thing for themselves, because, the Quran, Bible, Torah, says that "Who ever prays to someone else other than God" will go to hellfire.

No! Jesus and God the Father are 2 distinct person.
God for your information is not singular, it is in its plural form, and the meaning of God is ELOHIM, If its in a singular form it must be ELOAH referring to the one true God (ancient of days).
Throughout the Bible, ELOHIM is commontly used, but the word ELOAH was only mentioned twice referring to the Soverign God himself.
The Son cannot be the Father at the same time.

They are the same. It is actually a Trinity - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus was all God AND all Man.

Not if you're a traditional Christian.
But, if you're more free about religion, your God can be anyone.
Mormons believe God and Jesus were the same person. If that means anything.
Or, some people believe Jesus was just a different manifistation of God.

Do you really think you can figure out the trinity of God! They are seperate but one. Not gods but God.
God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit
