I know that Jesus is not the Father....give reason(s) and or scriptures why He can't be God.

The concept of Christianity is so complex to some, especially the little ones and some big ones. The Father(GOD), the son(JESUS), and the Holy Spirit(Comforter) are all the same. God came down to mankind(us) in the form of the son( Jesus) and he remains with us as the Holy Spirit(Comforter). He is three-in-one, the same. He can do this because he is the Creator(GOD). He loved us so much that he came in human form to save mankind.
I pray this helps you.

Trinity (or 3-in-one Deities) is a pagan belief transferred to Christendom’s Doctrine. Trinity has a bizarre origin, (see this on-line book http://www.biblebelievers.com/babylon/)....
Scriptures have been tampered with, (KJ 1Jo 5:7), and God’s personal name has been removed from the bible text to help sell this false belief. Trinity is not taught in the Bible anywhere. Jesus Christ did not teach it to his followers. It is a difficult, if not impossible concept for anyone to rectify and harmonize with true, important Bible concepts such as the Ransom and the messiah-ship.
Jesus Clearly and repeatedly showed himself to be separate and subordinate to his heavenly father who is named in the Bible several thousands of times, (Jehovah). His apostles consistently manifested a belief in a supreme being who was not the same individual as Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the name of the individual who was transferred by supernatural power to the womb of a virgin to become a perfect HUMAN. He was the very first thing created by the creator. Before becoming human, his very being was exactly the same as his creator’s. His very personality, his goals, his desires, his love, is exactly the same as his father. Everything else created was created by the father but through and with the son. He became God’s spokesman or mouthpiece and that is why he carries the name and title “Word”. He commands all of the armies of angels. He is the authentic “seed” who will champion all of the Creator’s purposes and return the universe to the situation originally purposed by Jehovah God the creator, as the King of God’s Kingdom, (A government with a heavenly seat). He is the Messiah, and the Ransomer who redeemed the lives of all humanity by paying the ransom price lost by the original human pair. He gave his perfect human life to pay that price. He did not pay that ransom price with a Creator’s life or a God’s life. His father, (a separate all powerful individual who was still alive) Resurrected him from death, (Hell) to a life once again as a spirit creature like he was before and sat him on a throne at his right hand to wait until his Kingdom rule was to begin.
Holy Spirit is not an individual personality; it is God’s active force or power.
Christendom will be held responsible for the perpetuation of the filthy trinity doctrine
NOTE: Many offer John 1:1 as a trinity proof. It is not proof.
John 1:1 the Word was WITH God .....WITH....WITH....how can you be WITH God and Be God....in Greek the definate article is missing which is supposed to tell the reader that the word is with God and he is God-like or Divine in nature....that is all!!! That is why some translations, (not versions) say correctly "the Word was a God".
Some may point to verse 14.....ok
You wana show me verse 14....ok read verse 14....then read 18....NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD at any time.....( but 14 said the word resided among us didn't it?????)

He can't be God the Almighty for a number of reasons. Here are some I can quickly think off:
-The entire bible is consistent that there is one God and not a trinity. The scriptures are clearly, there are two distinct persons , one God, and one lord, a mediator between God and men, Jesus christ (1 Corinthians 8:6)
-Jesus is always inferior/subordinate to God..Jesus said that "I am ascending to the father, to MY GOD and to YOUR God"
-The old testament always says that no one can see God and yet live, yet people clearly lived and mingled with Jesus!
etc.. ofcourse we have the famous JOhn 1:1, which calls jesus God or godlike. But remember people in power in ancient israel were called gods-moses. judges, angles were called God's, so no doubt Jesus is a god because of his powerful position.

Jesus is not God. How could he be when he called his Father "the only true God"? Also, we know that God's knowledge is unlimited. But Jesus' knowledge is limited. When Jesus gave his prophecy about the end of the world, he stated: "But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." See Mark 13:32 . Had Jesus been God or part of a godhead, he would have known what the Father knows. But Jesus did not know, for he was not God.
Similarly, we read at Heb. 5:8 that Jesus "learned obedience from the things he suffered." Can we imagine that God had to LEARN anything? No, but Jesus did, for he did not know everything that God knew. And he had to learn something that God never needs to learn--obedience. God never has to obey anyone.
At Heb. 9:24, Paul said that Christ entered "heaven itself, so that he could appear in the actual presence of God on our behalf." If you appear in someone else's presence, how can you be that person? You can't. Jesus could appear before God because he wasn't God.
In Revelation 4:8 to 5:7, God is shown seated on his heavenly throne, but Jesus is not. He has to approach God to take a scroll from God's right hand. This shows that in heaven Jesus is not God but is separate from him.

I'm not sure, but I do know this God is so pure sin can not be before his eyes. But Love kept him from destroying humanity. So to keep us safe. He sent an image of him self human form to stand before us in our trail with satan. So when God sees us he sees the blood of his son.
We are covered in Jesus blood. "Who does not believe in the son does not believe in me" And if you want to go through the Father you have to go to Jesus first.

Jesus is God.
Isaiah 9:6
6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, [a] Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
One of Jesus' titles is 'Mighty God'

Jesus is a god.
God simply means "mighty one" or "strong one."
Humans can be referred to by the title 'god'.
Jesus did so at John 10:33-36.
That is why when referring to the Creator, it is best to add 'the almighty' god.
He is the God of gods.

Jesus can't be GOD because he's not GOD. It's that simple. GOD created all and made that very clear to all of us. Jesus is the son of GOD who was sent here to prove to you that it's not impossible to live the way GOD intended. GOD said "There will be no other GODs before me"....and GOD meant it.
