You're referring to Christendom not Christianity. =)

God the Father and Jesus Christ are two separate beings. Many times Jesus talked about and to His Father.
The Trinity idea was the result of debate by uninspired men around the year 300 A.D. Before the year 100 A.D., the nature of God was well understood, but gradually different ideas crept in until the majority vote at the Nicene Council established the Trinity concept.

You need to learn about the nature of Jesus.
Jesus is God in human flesh. He is not half God and half man. He is fully divine and fully man. That is, Jesus has two distinct natures: divine and human. Jesus is the Word who was God and was with God and was made flesh, (John 1:1,14). This means that in the single person of Jesus is both a human and divine nature. The divine nature was not changed. It was not altered. He is not merely a man who "had God within Him" nor is he a man who "manifested the God principle." He is God, second person of the Trinity. "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word," (Heb. 1:3, NIV). Jesus' two natures are not "mixed together," nor are they combined into a new God-man nature. They are separate yet act as a unit in the one person of Jesus. This is called the Hypostatic Union.
then you know why he was praying.
This is a very common question and the answer is found in understanding the Trinity and the incarnation of Jesus.
The Trinity is the doctrine that there is only one God in all existence. This one God exists as three persons: The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are not three gods, but one God. Each is a separate person, yet each of them is, in essence, divine in nature.
Jesus is completely human, but He also has a divine nature.
As a man, Jesus needed to pray. When He was praying he was not praying to Himself, but to God the Father.

Sorry, but I have trouble understanding your question. The fact that Jesus is more than a prophet is evidenced in the empty tomb and with more than 500 eye-witnesses to His resurrection. If it were not true there would not be a Christian Bible today, because His followers would not have martyred their lives for a faith that they knew to be a lie.

properly i'm an ordained minister interior the path of the known existence church and have a doctorate of divinity and metaphysical study. I served as an interfaith minister. i replaced into formally experienced and knowledgeable in my previous faith (wicca) and replaced right into a 0.33 degree extreme Priestess, yet have on account that switched over to Islam. i'm no longer formally experienced in Islam as in having studied it by an Islamic college jointly with Al-Azhar yet I did learn it in college by my international religions classification besides as quite a few middle eastern study instructions and Arabic classes. I additionally learn it on my very own now by ability of speaking with Muslims who're formally experienced, analyzing the Qur'an and Hadith, and study on the internet. So although i'm no longer formally experienced interior the experience of having long gone to a non secular college to income Islam, I even have been formally experienced in different religions and my practise as an interfaith minister did contain some practise approximately Islam.

Jesus is the son of God, sits by the father in heaven. I guess he worships the father, and gets worship himself. I seeked after God, I found God he said his name was not Jesus, u do not know my name. But showed me by my heart, it was the father I was seeking after.

I hope this explains it.
The Apocryphon of John (The Secret Book of John - The Secret Revelation of John)
"And he (the Father) looked at Barbelo (His image) with the pure light which surrounds the invisible Spirit, and (with) his spark, and she (His image) conceived from him. He begot a spark of light with a light resembling blessedness. But it does not equal his greatness. This was an only-begotten child of the Mother-Father which had come forth; it is the only offspring, the only-begotten one of the Father, the pure Light.
"And the invisible, virginal Spirit rejoiced over the light which came forth, that which was brought forth first by the first power of his forethought, which is Barbelo. And he anointed it with his goodness until it became perfect, not lacking in any goodness, because he had anointed it with the goodness of the invisible Spirit. And it attended him as he poured upon it. And immediately when it had received from the Spirit, it glorified the holy Spirit and the perfect forethought, for whose sake it had come forth.
"And it requested to give it a fellow worker, which is the mind, and he consented gladly. And when the invisible Spirit had consented, the mind came forth, and it attended Christ, glorifying him and Barbelo. And all these came into being in silence.

I need an aspirin after that question.
The one part I understood and can answer is, the apostles slept a lot.
