i see so many say they are both the same being. now if they WERE both the same being then God is a skitso, throughout the bible (where jesus' story is mention) he is praying [to himself] and crying [to himself]. jesus cried on the cross:
Mark 15:34
"my God my God why have you forsaken me".
if Jesus is not god then christians are committing idolatry.
so then is god skitso/split person identity? talking to his other self?

The trinity is not easy to understand for humans. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy spirit are three persons in one. For us limited three dimensional creatures this would not be possible. For an unlimited, infinite, pan dimensional being such as God, this is very possible. We cannot fully conceive it but we can imagine it. You must simply suspend your dimensional logic and imagine beyond what is possible.

Jesus and God are NOT the same being. But, how dare you call God a "skitso". God is who He is. He is able to do anything He wants. He created you and this world and everything and everyone in it is called by Him to be into existence. Jesus is God in the flesh; died on the cross for the redemption of man's sins to be resurrected the Son of the Living God. The God-head relationship is God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. They are all a part of God. They are not the same. Think about an earthly family. Everyone is different and everyone has their own personalities and abilities. It's kind of the same way with the "God-family". You can not get to God except through His "Son" Jesus Christ.
By the way, have some respect. If you don't understand, seek God, HE will give you all the understanding you NEED.

In 325, the Council of Nicaea adopted a term for the relationship between the Son and the Father that from then on was seen as the hallmark of orthodoxy; it declared that the Son is "of the same substance" as the Father.
The Council of Nicaea was reluctant to adopt language not found in Scripture, In adopting non-biblical language, the council's intent was to preserve what they thought the Church had always believed that Jesus is fully God, coeternal with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.
As far back as Babylonia, the worship of pagan gods grouped in threes, or triads, was common. This influence was also evident in Egypt, Greece, and Rome in the centuries before, during, and after Christ. After the death of the apostles, many nontrinitarians contend that these pagan beliefs began to invade Christianity.
Roman Catholic doctrine became firmly rooted in the soil of Hellenism; and thus an essentially pagan idea was forcibly imposed on the churches beginning with the Constantinian period.
Colossians 1:15 - Shows God created his son Jesus.
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation."
John 1:1 - Shows Jesus is a powerfull enough being to be called god and with his father created the heavens and the earth.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Christianity has taken Christ pure teachings (777) and tainted them with pagan believes (666) as he predicted would happen.

You are referring to the Trinity. there is not two but three. god the father god the son and god the holy spirit. The best way to explain it is to say that you are a person with all that that entails. You have a body you have a mind and you have a spirit. each part of you has a separate function but yet you can not exist without the other. This will sound funny but from your comment about forsaking me. let's say your mind works in fact your mind is extremely intelligent but because of some reason your body has become paralyzed. you can not even speak. but yet you think. would you not cry out to your body? why have you forsaken me? I'm sorry I can't figure a clear way to explain.

There are those who will tell you that Jesus was part of the Trinity, therefor he WAS God ... but Jesus was a man. He was the Word made flesh. FLESH. The Word is the audible life stream ... the Sound Current. The sound current is from God. Jesus carried the audible lifestream, and was delivering God's message to the people of that time. Jesus was not GOD, but bringing God's message.

I believe that God the Father and Jesus Christ are physically seperate beings, but are so one in purpose and goals that it can cause some confusion. I mean, Jesus is essentially able to speak for the Father as His direct representative. What one would say the other would say etc.

Jesus sends the devils into 2000 pigs, causing them to jump off a cliff and be drowned in the sea. Clearly Jesus could have simply sent the devils out, yet he chose instead to place them into pigs and kill them.Mark 5:12-13
Jesus kills a fig tree for not bearing figs, even though it was out of season. Jesus must not be as smart as Christians would have us believe, for he was retarded enough to do something this silly. You’d think the son of god (god incarnate) would know that trees don’t bear fruit in dry season. Mark 11:13
This are not quality of God or Godly
Jesus was a prophet of God not Son of God...
many Christian's say Jesus was son of God because he had no father.....Adam had no father or mother he should be than Greater son of God

There is no G-d but G-d, and God is One-not a trinity.
G-d said, '' I am the Lord your G-d who brought you out of the land of Egypt. You shall have no other god but me''.
Jesus was a very good man who lived and taught the Jewish faith. But, he was a man. He lived and died 2,000 years ago. If it had not been for Paul, Christianity would have never ''taken hold''. And, Paul was-well, shall we say different?
Saying Jesus is G-d is blasphemy and is committing idolatry.

Jesus is God's son. There are three parts to God. Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit. When Jesus was on the cross he was crying out to his father not himself.

Many people confuse Jesus with His Father. I'm still not sure why, I asked this question not long ago.
I can say that I am part of my Father, but I cannot say I am my Father. The same thing. I am part of my Mother, but I am not my Mother.
Excellent answer given by amu_.
