If God is an ocean, then each of us is an individual glass of God (that includes Jesus - the only difference is he really knew it).
Peace!

This is the mystery that we Christians believe in faith. We call it the Trinity. God in Three persons.
God is our Father. He cares for us. He meets our needs and provides for us. He watches over us and even disciplines us when we need it. He gave life toall the earth (read Genesis Chap 1-3) The Psalms are also good reading the discover the nature and character of God.
God is the Son. Jesus Christ. The Gospel of John Chap 1 says it pretty good. "1 In the beginning there was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. " Jesus is the Word. Genesis Chap 1 "1 In the beginning God created the sky and the earth. 2 The earth was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the ocean, and God's Spirit was moving over the water.
3 Then God SAID, "Let there be light," and there was light. ".
In other words, God Spoke and it came to be. Everything came into existence through the Word.
God came down himself into Mary's womb and caused her conceive and the child born was divine, and his name was Jesus, meaning, he will save the people from their sins.
Jesus referred to himself as the Son of Man but also brought to light that He and God were equal. (John Chap 8 is a good place to read)
God is the Spirit. When Jesus' work was done he said that He would not leave us alone, but would send another that would guide us and reminds of things that the Lord taught and spoke. We call Him the Holy Spirit. This should not be confused with our friends at Star Wars who would define this as some unpersonable "force". The Spirit should also not be defined as some "thing" that nakes certain believers roll around in the aisle at church and holler and yell. Jesus said The Holy Spirit would. "13 But when the Spirit of truth comes, he will lead you into all truth. He will not speak his own words, but he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is to come. 14 The Spirit of truth will bring glory to me, because he will take what I have to say and tell it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take what I have to say and tell it to you." John 16. 13-15
Yes, peoples prayers got answered because God was here in Jesus Christ and He was also in heaven as the Father. it is what we call omnipresence. He can be everywhere all at once. He is omnipotent meaning knew knows everything. He is all powerful and almighty. heaven and earth are in his hands.
Yes the angels still reported to God. In fact while Mary was pregnant with the Christ child in her womb, the angel Gabriel came to her and Joseph with a message from God. (Luke 1) 19 The angel answered him, "I am Gabriel. I stand before God, who sent me to talk to you and to tell you this good news.
In Luke Chap 2 the angels came to the shepherds in the fields with a message from God of good news and glad tidings.
I hope all of this is somehow helpful. And I hope you find new appreciation for Jesus Christ in this Christmas Season.

Lets start with a little clarification God never came to the Earth he sent his Son Jesus Christ to the Earth John 3:16 God has always been in the heavens answering prayers and running things that is who resurected Jesus when he died and was resurected and that who Jesus was praying to hope this helps you see also Ps 83:18 OKJV Gorbalizer

Jesus was God in the form of man. God was still in heaven, looking down on His son, Jesus. So yes, prayers were still answered and the Angels still reported to God.

There are 3 parts to God Holy Spirit, Father and Jesus. I assume that the rest of God if not all were everywhere like God said He is. So ya prayers got answered and angels did the same jobs.

Who says Jesus is God. Obviously Jesus didn't think he was God.
(Revelation 3:12-13) 12 “‘The one that conquers—I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out [from it] anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which descends out of heaven from my God, and that new name of mine. 13 Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations.. . .
Can you count how many times he refered to the father in that scripture as "MY GOD" Did he have an identity crisis or is there more here than meets the eye?

I'm sure God The Father and The Holy Ghost held it down while Jesus was gone. Prayers were still answered because look at all the miracles. Jesus did not change he still knew everything and nothing suprised him.

God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost can function as one and the same and as seperate individuals, so jesus/God can be on the earth and be in heaven at the same time, I know its hard for his child to understand, but think of it like this...a three leaf clover has three seperate leaves right, it is also one whole leaf to. I can function as three people in one. I am a sister, a wife and a mother all in one. We as humans cannot be two places at the same time although we are just humans not God. Don't you remember when Jesus got babtized by John the babtist. The Hoply Ghost came down as a dove, you heard God's voice and Jesus was in the water all three seperate and still jesus was God.

Interesting question. Jesus told us he is the son of God. There are mixed messages out there that suggest that Jesus was also God. The trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) is the most common thing taught related to Jesus. I believe that God answers the prayers of true believers. I won't waste my time answering the rest of your silly questions.

Yes, God was still in Heaven when Jesus was on earth in human form. God our Father, Jesus God's Son, and the Holy Spirit who is with all Christians are known as the Holy Trinity. As simple as I've ever heard it, they are 3 forms of the same holy, eternal, and perfect spirit. (Think of how water is the same thing whether it's in the form of liquid water, solid ice, or gaseous water vapor...kind of).
