How can Jesus be God, the first commandment says hear o isreal Yaweh your God is one. And it says quoting Yaweh "Besides me there is no other God .No, not one, I do not know any, and who could be my rival?" And how can the Holy Spirit be a third person. God is the holy spirit, what spirit could be holier than God himself. And if God allways has been and allways will be, then how did he die for 3 days. Also the book of John clearly states, "No man has seen God at ANY time except the son(Jesus), and this one was sent forth to explain Him(the Father). John goes on to say that his book was written so that the reader will believe jesus to be the ,"son of God". Also Why are their two lights being created in genesis. This first light Was Jesus being created or is first John not quoting this first light as being Jesus creation.

No. While Jesus is often called the Son of God in the Bible, nobody in the first century ever thought of him as being God the Son. Even the demons, who "believe there is one God," knew from their experience in the spirit realm that Jesus was not God. So, correctly, they addressed Jesus as the separate "Son of God." (James 2:19; Matthew 8:29) And when Jesus died, the pagan Roman soldiers standing by knew enough to say that what they had heard from his followers must be right, not that Jesus was God, but that "certainly this was God's Son."—Matthew 27:54.
Hence, the phrase "Son of God" refers to Jesus as a separate created being, not as part of a Trinity. As the Son of God, he could not be God himself, for John 1:18 says: "No one has ever seen God."—RS, Catholic edition.
The disciples viewed Jesus as the "one mediator between God and men," not as God himself. (1 Timothy 2:5) Since by definition a mediator is someone separate from those who need mediation, it would be a contradiction for Jesus to be one entity with either of the parties he is trying to reconcile. That would be a pretending to be something he is not.
The Bible is clear and consistent about the relationship of God to Jesus. Jehovah God alone is Almighty. He created the prehuman Jesus directly. Thus, Jesus had a beginning and could never be coequal with God in power or eternity.

God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are ONE. Before He came to earth as a human, Jesus WAS.
(John 8:58)
"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
(Isaiah 9:6)
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
(John 1:1-5,14)
The Word Became Flesh (Jesus): In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. … The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(John 14:9-11)
Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.
(John 20:30-31)
Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 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.
(1 John 4:15)
If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.
(John 14:6)
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jesus is God, but also not God, because he is mae up with the spirit of gosd, and also of flesh and bone, so even if you think that makes him a Half-God like Hercules, think more on the trinity.
god is supposed to have used a part of his own self to use as a messenger on Earth, which he called his son, and for the Holy Ghost, it is pretty much the same thing, a part of gods being.
It is not a clear answer, I know, but the only I can describe it at this time of evening.

God Is Three Persons.The fact that God is three persons means that the Father is not the Son; they are distinct persons. It also means that theFather is not the Holy Spirit, but that they are distinct persons. And it means that the Son is not the Holy Spirit. In addition to the fact that all three personsare distinct, the abundant testimony of Scripture is that each person is fully God as well. Scripture is abundantly clear that there is one and only one God. The three different persons of the Trinity are one not only in purpose and in agreement on what they think, but they are one in essence, one in their essential nature. In other words, God is only one being.There are not three Gods. There is only one God.
The duality of Christ's nature, human and divine, cannot be fully and definitively answered. If we could, we would possess divine minds ourselves. That said, we theologians have made progress at trying to understand the concepts of the Trinity of God and God the Son's role in that Trinitarian doctrine. There are three persons in the Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one true, eternal God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory; although distinguished by their personal properties. Jesus clearly stated his divinity in Joh 8:58: Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am." The Jews hearing his claim understood exactly what He was saying and planned to stone Him.
In short, Jesus’ human nature could be tempted. He thirsted, hungered, and at times was full of righteous anger. Yet He never sinned. If He did, we are all lost and God is not God. Christ also was God with all of God's attributes, and these two natures existed in a hypostatic (fundamental state) union.
I doubt I can improve upon the discussion of Christ's dual nature that is found at http://www.carm.org/doctrine/2natures.htm
I suggest you start there to dig deeper into this topic.

Jesus, was sent by God(son of God). There is only one God/Yaweh. Do you believe in Angels, even they are holy, they dont sin. There is Holy Spirit(who is a helper), who was sent to those who believed in Jesus. To believe in Jesus doesn't mean to worship Him as God.But God sent Him, so all respect and honour goes to Him. Jesus said, to pray to God , as "Our Father in heaven".
I received the Holy Spirit, Jesus said that He will send. I was not sure of anything until then. But now I worhip and serve only God, noone else.

You might need to read Hebrews:
Hebrews 1:6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,
"Let all God's angels worship him." 7 In speaking of the angels he says,
"He makes his angels winds,
his servants flames of fire." 8 But about the Son he says,
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
You don't have to understand how he can be both God and man, and yet there is only one God, but it is very abrupt when you actually read what it says.

that's true, God is one, and only one, no equivalents, no associations and no sons.
Jesus is not God nor his son, he's just a human prophet with a message from the only one and true God.
