He's one in being with the Father but they are distinct Persons.
"I and the Father are one" from John's gospel.
Three divine persons in one divine nature.
Only one God, not three gods.

Jesus is not GodHe himself says that he is the Son of God (John10:36) And God also confirms this, when Jesus was baptized. After being Baptized Jesus immediately came up from the water; and look! the heavens were opened up, and he saw descending like a dove God's spirit coming upon him. Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said:"This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved."(Matthew3:16,17)There could be no doubt in the mind of John that Jesus had been sent by God. Yes it was God that was confirming Jesus to be his Son.Jesus and God are two seperate and distinct persons. NO Jesus is NOT God he was and is God's Son.

The whole of God s Father,Son and Holy Spirit. The Son came to earth is the form of man Jesus Christ. Jesus was the man talking to John the Baptist and is the Messiah that was foretold to come by all the earlier prophets he came to the world to overcome sin and to remain perfect and to pay the penalty of sin for all who accept his atonement.

There is God the Father, god the Son and God the Holy Spirit, known commonly as the holy trinity. It is basically God in three forms, God as the father who created us in his image, God the Son who walked on earth as a Human Being (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit who is all around us and with us. They are all one and the same.

Jesus was not God, he was the son of God.
When he states that he is one with God, it's not intended as a statement of equality but one of relationship; they're one at heart.
Notice that the Bible says the same about a husband and wife. A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall be one flesh, no longer two, but one.
Men and women have never shared the same body, nor have they ever physically merged and become inseperable. It's a figure of speach describing the intimacy and connection of a relationship.

* In 1973 I was attending a Jesus only Oneness church and the preacher was at my house and I asked him this same question and he told my I was blaspheming, but when I opened the bible to where Jesus was speaking and heaven opened up and God spoke saying this is my Son hear ye him, I asked if Jesus is God and God is Jesus who was talking? He got so mad that he broke my glas in my front door as he slammed it when he left.*

Ah the trinity can be so confusing especially for non believers.
I still struggle with it but that is my fault. God the father, Jesus the son and the Holy Spirit are are different aspects of our one God.
I hope God blesses you with understanding and peace in your heart.

The atom defines the most basic unit of every chemical element in the universe. The word atom comes from the Greek word for "indivisible," yet while it represents the purest essence of one element, the atom has three facets, with the positively charged proton and neutral neutron at its core, and the negatively charged electron outside the core that balances its electric charge and interacts with other elements.
Trisecting a line as the basis for design in creationLife
The physical design of the human body, and that of many other life forms, is based on a relationship known as the Divine Proportion, or Golden Section. This proportion is based on trisecting a line such that the ratio of the small piece to the large piece is the same as the ratio of the large piece to the entire line. It is also found by solving an equation with three terms, x3 - x2 - x1 = 0.
Nature of man
The nature of man is expressed as mind, body and spirit, analogous to, and in the image of, the triune nature of God. It's interesting to note that Genesis relates man being made by "us" in "our" image when referring to God, indicating the plurality in His nature.
Life on Earth
Life on Earth inhabits three domains, the sea, the land and the air.
Holy Trinity
Following the three-in-one nature that is found throughout creation, we find the three-in-one nature of the One God manifested in the Holy Trinity, with each Being revealing a different aspect of our God and Creator to us:
The Father, the part of God that is transcendent, infinite and beyond our understanding,
The Son, Jesus Christ, the part of God that is immanent and appeared to us in the way that we could best know Him, in human form. He was both "Son of God," an expression of God as contained in human form, and at the same time "Son of Man," the ultimate expression of who we can be in our most divine form.
The Holy Spirit, the part of God that lives in the heart and soul of each of us, acting as our Counselor for those who believe and listen to His voice within us.

the trinity comes from Babylon. So if you know the history of King Nimrod and the account in the bible it is not hard to understand why so much of religions around the world have so much in common. Jesus is the first of God's (YHWH / Jehovah) creation. Look at proverbs chapter 8:22
