That's what some guy here said. I thought Jesus was God's son. So is he His son or is Jesus God?

He is God the Son.
So he is both.
Peace out.

Jesus is a God (John 1:1) but he always give Glory to his father and Creator.
The Trinity concept in the Bible:
References in the Bible to a Trinity of divine beings are vague, at best.
In Matthew 28:19, we find Jesus telling his disciples to go out and preach to all nations. While the "Great Commission" does make mention of the three persons who later become components of the Trinity, the phrase "...baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" is quite clearly an addition to Biblical text - that is, not the actual words of Jesus - as can be seen by two factors:
1)Baptism in the early Church, as discussed by Paul in his letters, was done only in the name of Jesus; and
2)The "Great Commission" found in the first gospel written, that of Mark, bears no mention of Father, Son and/or Holy Ghost - see Mark 16:15.
The only other reference in the Bible to a Trinity can be found in the Epistle of I John 5:7, Biblical scholars of today, however, have admitted that the phrase "...there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one" is definitely a "later addition" to Biblical test, and it is not found in any of today's versions of the Bible.
It can, therefore, be seen that the concept of a Trinity of divine beings was not an idea put forth by Jesus or any other prophet of God. This doctrine, now subscribed to by Christians all over the world, is entirely man-made in origin.
The Trinity concept outside of the Bible:
Christopagan Goddess Worshipped by Christians
Brigit is a goddess who survived the onslaught of catholic Christopaganism. So great was the love of the Irish Celtic people for this deity, that they retained all her characteristics as a pagan-catholic saint!
They would not have had anything to do with catholicism (pagan christianity) if they couldn't keep Brigit. So the catholic church had no choice but to make her a nun and a saint. She is a triple goddess. This triple aspect of the goddess is where catholics got the idea of exploiting the Trinity concept.
The three-leaf shamrock was originally of "The Three Mothers", as well as the three phases of the moon being her symbols. She shares some attributes with the ancient Greek triple goddess Hecate.

God is in three parts, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They do different things, so I would say Jesus is the God of the new testament.

Jesus isn't God, it wasn't even a consideration of the early church until about 1000 AD. Then the early church fathers had a big fight, and essentially killed off all the Christians who believed Jesus was a mortal man. It was wrong them, it is wrong now, and really what difference does it make? Descended from God, or actually God, a child of God or a part of God like we all are...

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are the Trinity = one. However, some sects believe that Jesus and God are different, that Jesus was just a prophet not a deity and that he should not be worshipped as such! "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" applicable.
So, basically it's up for interpretation depending on what your religion or sect is.

Jesus is the Son of God, according to the Bible.
For some reason this is not good enough for some people so they teach that he is God.

I believe only in one God without son or associates,he is the one who created all and the one who sent his prophet Jesus to deliver his message to the his people in that time , before Jesus were sent hundreds of prophets who did the same as Jesus did.All creatures came from him and he take the decisions over them,he is the only one who gave them live and take them the live back and will bring them again to the live on hereafter.I'm Muslim and i believed in all prophets all books and one single God .think deeply and sweep the illusions and ask true God to show you the way, only him can do this.

Some Christian sects believe that Jesus is the son of God, some believe he is God and some believe he's both. I don't believe he is any of those things.
