John 20:17 Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' "
31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
I Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
Can't be both and bible clearly teaches so.

Jesus Is God The Son

I believe he is both. He is the Son of God but he is also a part of the Trinity which is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus is fully God yet he is also the Son of God the Father.
Someone gave me this example once:
An egg is composed of a shell, the yolk, and the whites. Which of these threee components is the egg?
The answer is they all are! Just like the trinity of God.

Many Christians do but another perspective is that Christ a perfect reflection of God and His attributes but not God in the flesh. There are a series of quotes that would suggest the Jesus and God might be one:
John 14:9 - "He who has seen Me has seen the Father."
John 10:30 - "I and My Father are one."
John 14:11 - "I am in the Father and the Father in Me."
However, the concept of His Holiness the Christ and God being one does not explain other quotes in the Bible like:
John 14:28 - "I am going to the Father, for My Father is greater than I."
John 5:30 - "I can of Mine own self do nothing...not My own will, but the will of the Father which has sent Me.
John 1:18 - "No one has see God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared him."
If Jesus and God were one then the second series of quotes could not be explained.
One way to reconcile the quotes is to think of Jesus the Christ as a perfect reflection of God - the perfect image in every way. If God is like a Sun and Jesus a perfect mirror facing the Sun then when you look at the Sun and the mirror you see the same thing - the perfect image of the Sun. That does not mean the Sun descends into the mirror or that the mirror is made of the same substance as the Sun. However, from our perspective They are One.
Is this concept supported at all in the Bible? There are some quotes that use this same concept.
Col 1:15 - "Who (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God..."
Heb 1:1-3 - "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person..."
2 Cor 4:4 "...lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
That's it. Take care and great question.

" Since we can see in Scripture that there is only one God, and that each person of the Trinity - Father, Son and the Holy Spirit - is identified as the true God, it follows that the doctrine of the Trinity (i.e., Three persons in one God) is also discernible in Scripture. The word"Trinity" is not found in Scripture, but the outlines of the doctrine can be seen indirectly through passages that teach the absolute unity of God and the divine son-ship of Christ."
"Perhaps the most striking of the Bible's explicitly Trinitarian passages is Matthew 28:18-19, quoted below. Notice that the Lord uses the singular form "name", not the plural "names," when he gives this directive. This usage implies the unity of the Three divine Persons in the Trinity."
Matthew 28:18-19: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

Yes both. Jesus was before in the beginning He is a part of God and became a man the son of God. God in the flesh.

Yes, Jesus is the son of God. Yes Jesus is God. No one can understand this, don't even try. His ways are higher that our ways. Even in heaven we will not understand God.
There is only one (1) God. But he is manifested in three (3) persons; the father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Is it confusing-you bet. Can it be explained-no.
