I'm baptist so we believe that God and Jesus are the same, that God came to Earth in the form of Jesus to save us from our sins. But in other religions people believe that there is a God and that there is a Jesus. What do you think?

It is both...they are all one but all diffrent...in the flesh Jesus was Jesus, the son of God. But after his death he became one with God and the holy spirit.

Jesus is God incarnate - God in the flesh. The Son of God is one of the many titles for Jesus Christ. As the Son, He is the Second Person of the Trinity (and the Holy Spirit is the Third) It is one God, having the same essence and undivided manifesting in three persons.
While it is true that "Trinity" is not found in Scripture the doctrine itself is present. If you do Biblical and Systematic Theology you will find it.
Be careful about God and Jesus are the same. They have the same essence but they are different persons.
How this is so, is a mystery. Just as it is a mystery that Christ is both divine and human at the same time.
Hope this helps.

The Father and the Son are the same. They are coexistent and coequal.
The FAther said; I AM WHO AM. Therefore, logically, if they are the same, the son should have the title I AM as well. I AM was specifically the title Jesus used: "Before Abraham ever was, I AM". Therefore the Son and Father are coexistent and co equal and co eternal with the Father. Therefore Jesus could not have been created by God but is instead one in Being with God. However His Manhood began at Incarnation in the womb.

Jesus Christ is God in the flesh,That's why there is the New Testiment.No one can say he didn't have to live a fleshly life,because he did and does.And I think That's why there's only going to be 144,000 Jews saved,the ones that believe in Jesus Christ.The others believe in the old Testiment.That law was changed when Jesus Christ died for us.NO ONE can keep the ten commandmets,not even Moses.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God."
In the beginning = At the time of the beginning, or creation of the universe
was = imperfect tense indicates a state of continuous activity in the past tense. That is "was in a state of continued existence"
the Word = declared in verse 14 to be that which "became flesh", (human)
"and the Word was with God"
"with" is the Greek word "pros", and indicates more than our English word, but suggests a continuous intimate relationship with the object, namely, God.
"God" appears with the article, literally "The God", indicating personality, not merely essence, and therefore is understood to refer to the Father.
"And the Word was God"
Here, the word God appears without the article, indicating the intent of the author is not to establish the personality of the Word, but Its (or His) essential nature, so we could paraphrase; "The Word, as to His essential nature, was Divine."
So in conclusion we see in this one verse both a distinction of the Word (Jesus) from the Father (The God); and an equation of the Word with the nature of "the God", that is, the Father.

They are separate. Jesus called his Father the ONLY true God. John 17:3

God is one God, but in three offices. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

God and Jesus are two separate figure. Jesus was God's prophet, not His son

God is the Creator of all. He does not die, nor is He begotten.
He does not have limits and just like it is impossible and unfitting for a King to be a servant, He cannot be human because it is unfitting for His majesty to be so.
Jesus was a holy divine man who was fortified by God as all holy men were. He was given a message to deliver to the people of Israel. He knew his duties and did not falter in any way from the true path that was his.
It is our duty as humans to realize that we are our own saviours, our actions save us, our actions put us in hell.
Therefore, it does not make sense for God to come down in flesh form and die for us.
We are His creatures and we obey Him. Not the other way around.
