according to Scripture, Colossians 2: 9, states that in Jesus, the fullness of God lived bodily.
Jesus was the exact representation of God, a mirror of all that God is only in bodily form. God was looking at the world through the eyes of Jesus.
God, putting on flesh, to die for man. All mankind sinned, we all deserved death according to the justice of God, but God put the death penalty on Christ instead of us. God's uprightness demanded justice for our wickedness, yet God's mercy and love layed the blame on His only Son, in order that we could be forgiven for all sins, past and future, and the perfect standing with God that Jesus has is also given to us.
Therefore, there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.
Get in Christ through baptism. Live your life refraining from disappointing God's love.

No, God the Father and God the Son are two distinct persons. Jesus said that the father sent Him into the world. While here on earth Jesus prayed constantly to his Father. There is a unity in the Godhead, but it is not one of sharing the same being. God the father and God the Son are two separate physical beings; and they share oneness of spirit, heart, mission, purpose,etc. That is about as accurate as anyone can state their relationships. The fact of their separate identities is very clear in such passages as the reference to the baptism of Jesus Matt 3:17 -Mark 1:11; Luke 3:22; and suggested very strongly in John 1: 33-36. Along with many others, these texts attest the fact that God the father was in heaven while Jesus was here on earth. They couldn't by any stretch of the imagination be seen as the same

Some christians think Jesus was God born in the flesh. Some think Jesus was the son of God. Some think Jesus was a prophet sent by God.

God and Jesus are one in the same. I'm not sure "people" is the right word for it, but God is in three forms: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.

In the bible John 10:30 " I and the Father are one " John :14 " And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." God came to earth in human form in Jesus. It was the only way Our sins could have been paid for by the Blood of Jesus.

I believe they are 2 different people but are one God. I think when Jesus said they are one he meant they are totally on one accord and everything they are about is the same. They are both Love and Life and so on.

God is Almighty God [ Jehovah...Exodus 6;3] Jesus isd His son.
Two separate 'people'
Jesus 'agrees' with his father.
" I and the Father are one [ in thought]
This does not make them the same person.
In fact, Jesus was created by his father.
Proverbs 8; 22-31.

According to Trinitarian Christianity, they are.
Think of a 3-Leaf Clover: There are 3 leaves (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) but they are all part of the clover. Hence, the Trinity.
God=Jesus=Holy Spirit
