Jesus (pbuh) cannot be GOD and the SON OF GOD at the same time.
In christiendom the majority of the answers i have recieved reguarding Jesus (pbuh) is contradictory.
You cannot be a Father and the Son of your self at the same time.
So please try to be clear, do you believe he is GOD or the SON GOD?

>Is Jesus God or the SON of God?
Yes, He is GOD and He is God the Son.
>Jesus cannot be GOD and the SON OF GOD at the same time.
Yes, He can be and is!!
>In christiendom the majority of the answers i have recieved >regarding Jesus is contradictory.
In Yahoo!Answers you may find that many of the answers are contradictory. However, the Christian Faith is not contradictory. Jesus is God; Jesus is the Son.
>You cannot be a Father and the Son of your self
>at the same time.
True, but Robert can be a human and Robert's son Henry can be a human.
Robert is human; Henry is human.
But you shouldn't say Robert can not be father of Henry since they both are human.
Likewise, the Father can be the Father and the Son be the Son even though they both are God.
>So please try to be clear, do you believe he is GOD
>or the SON GOD?
Yes. Jesus is God; Jesus is the Son of the Father.
There is ONE God, Who has revealed that He eternally exists as three "Persons": Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost).
The Father / Son terminology is a description of the relationship between the First Person of the Trinity and the Second Person of the Trinity. A relationship as between a Father and a Son. NOT one being a result of sperm from the other!!!

I hope this will help you with understanding of the Father and Son Roles.
Trinity; The word "trinity" is not found in the Bible. Nevertheless, it is a word used to describe one fact the Bible teaches about God: Our God is a Trinity. This means there are three persons in one God, not three Gods. The persons are known as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and they have all always existed as three separate persons. The person of the Father is not the same person as the Son. The person of the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit. The person of the Holy Spirit is not the same person as the Father. If you take away any one, there is no God. God has always been a trinity from all eternity: "From everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God" (Psalm 90:2).
God is not one person who took three forms, i.e., the Father who became the Son, who then became the Holy Spirit. This belief is known today as the "Jesus Only Movement". It is taught by the United Apostolic and United Pentecostal churches, and is an incorrect teaching.
Nor is God only one person as the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Way International, and the Christadelphians teach (These groups are classified as non-Christian cults). For proof that there is more than one person in the Godhead, see the Plurality Study.
The Bible says there is only one God. Yet, it says Jesus is God (John 1:1,14); it says the Father is God (Phil. 1:2); and it says the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4). Since the Son speaks to the Father, they are separate persons. Since the Holy Spirit speaks also (Acts 13:2), He is a separate person. There is one God who exists in three persons.

Yes, Jesus IS Both God & the Son Of God at the very same time.
God Is Utterly, Wholly, & Totally Different than His entire Creation. There is absolutely nothing impossible with the Almighty. That Is Precisely why He Is Father, Son, & Holy Spirit & yet, 1 True God, all at the same time.

Jesus is both as spoken in John 1 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone".. (Bible Mark 10:18). Jesus said that because the man looked at the good works of Jesus to come to the conclusion of calling Jesus good not the fact that Jesus is the Son of God-a sinless man. Jesus wanted to direct the man to the Father.

Jesus is not God’s Son in the sense of how we think of a father and a son. God did not get married and have a son. Jesus is God’s Son in the sense that He is God made manifest in human form (John 1:1,14). Jesus is God's Son in that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:35 declares, "The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.'" In Bible times, the phrase “son of man” was used to describe a human being. The son of a man is a man.
Another example can be found in John 17:12 where Judas is described as the "son of perdition." John 6:71 tells us that Judas was the son of Simon. What does John 17:12 mean by describing Judas as the "son of perdition"? The word "perdition" means "destruction, ruin, waste." Judas was not the literal son of "ruin, destruction, and waste" - but those things were the identity of Judas' life. Judas was a manifestation of perdition. In this same aspect, Jesus is the Son of God. The Son of God is God. Jesus is God made manifest (John 1:1,14
John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” At first glance, this might not seem to be a claim to be God. However, look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement, “We are not stoning you for any of these, replied the Jews, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). The Jews understood Jesus’ statement to be a claim to be God. In the following verses, Jesus never corrects the Jews by saying, “I did not claim to be God.” That indicates Jesus was truly saying He was God by declaring, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30). John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!" Again, in response, the Jews take up stones in an attempt to stone Jesus (John 8:59). Why would the Jews want to stone Jesus if He hadn’t said something they believed to be blasphemous, namely, a claim to be God?
John 1:1 says that “the Word was God.” John 1:14 says that “the Word became flesh.” This clearly indicates that Jesus is God in the flesh. Acts 20:28 tells us, "...Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood." Who bought the church with His own blood? Jesus Christ. Acts 20:28 declares that God purchased the church with His own blood. Therefore, Jesus is God!
Thomas the disciple declared concerning Jesus, “Lord and my God” (John 20:28). Jesus does not correct him. Titus 2:13 encourages us to wait for the coming of our God and Savior - Jesus Christ (see also 2 Peter 1:1). In Hebrews 1:8, the Father declares of Jesus, "But about the Son He says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom."
In Revelation, an angel instructed the Apostle John to only worship God (Revelation 19:10). Several times in Scripture Jesus receives worship (Matthew 2:11; 14:33; 28:9,17; Luke 24:52; John 9:38). He never rebukes people for worshiping Him. If Jesus were not God, He would have told people to not worship Him, just as the angel in Revelation had. There are many other verses and passages of Scripture that argue for Jesus’ deity.
The most important reason that Jesus has to be God is that if He is not God, His death would not have been sufficient to pay the penalty for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2). Only God could pay such an infinite penalty. Only God could take on the sins of the world (2 Corinthians 5:21), die, and be resurrected - proving His victory over sin and death.

not something for a short pat answer
CAUTION THEOLOGY INSIDE
Jesus is eternally the son, the eternally generated Son of God with respect to personhood from the Father
the Holy spirit the eternally generated, with respect to personhood from the Father (western Chrstians add from the father and son, eastern just tend to say from the Father)
God is 3 in persons but one in nature the Athenasian Trinity
Jesus can rightly be called Emmanual, God with us
The point is he is the son by nature, he was not 'born' the son at a specific time... he was eternally the son
Jesus is God the Son and the 2nd person of the trinity, he is not exactly the same person as the Father but does share the same divine nature and does so from eternity
An orthodox view is with repect to His divine person, he is eternally generated from the Father, with repect to his divine nature He has the same nature and essense (and not one iota different, this is where the phrase comes from the greek for "the same nature' or with an iota added 'like the same nature' btw) as the Father and Spirit. Furthermore to redeem the world, He took upon himself an additional human nature to be born at Bethlehem... the point is he is a different person than the father but shares the same divine essense
I think this relfect the best harmonization of scripture but doesnt lend itself to a short pat answer

I've asked this question but it seems that different christian seems to believe differently. Some believe he is God and Some believe he is the Son of God. Some believe he is just a man and some believe he is the holy spirit. I'm awfully confuse.here's the link..I can't make up my mind .
Additional : Please don't say this is how it is and I can't question it. I am a muslim and question my own religion for a logic and No I don't go for spiritual answer :P .Yeah i know i'm bad but at least I got my answers , now christianity. How to understand logically?

For true Christians, there is no doubt or confusion about who Jesus is because the Bible makes it crystal clear. At John 10:36, Jesus told his opposers: "I am the Son of God." When the angel Gabriel announced to Mary who she would give birth to, he told her: "This one (Jesus) will be great and will be called Son of the Most High..." (Luke1:32) The minds of most church people are messed up because they are taught the trinity doctrine which has no basis in the Bible. They are taught that Jesus is either God the Son or God himself. But there is nothing in the Bible that teaches that. Jesus is who he said he is--the son of God.

"For His ways are not like our ways, nor His thoughts like our thoughs, so far as the heavens are from the earth."
means? some things you'll never understand. This is a spiritual question that you are trying to understand with your brain. It can only be understood by your spirit so (pbuh) give up or open up your spirit.
