I am hoping you are genuinely wanting to know the answer to this question. It is rather difficult to understand this concept but I will try to help you out.
God is one and yet God is three at the same time (not three Gods but three, I choose my words carefully). Can you picture that? Hardly with our limited mind but here is a little something to help you out.
God the Father is fully God. In which dwells the fullness of God Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit. However God the Father is never God Jesus Christ and never God the Holy Spirit
God Jesus Christ is fully God. In which dwells the fullness of God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. However God Jesus Christ is never God the Father and never God the Holy Spirit.
God the Holy Spirit is fully God. In which dwells the fullness of God the Father and God Jesus Christ. However God the Holy Spirit is never God the Father and never God Jesus Christ.
There is essentially ONE GOD, only one. There has only ever being one true God praise be His Name forever. He is the Lord, the King, the Savior, your Name be exalted Hallelujah!
Now when God does something He(singular/plural) cannot do something in the absense of the other, or without harmony. So at the creation God the Father, God Jesus Christ and God Holy Spirit was present.
Therefore this should answer your question. Who created? Was it Jesus or was it God? The answer is YES
At the Crucifixion it wasn't just God Jesus Christ working our Salvation it was God the Father and God Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit. God Himself in fullness was working for our Salvation.
There is no hirachy in God. They are equally equal. When God Jesus Christ accepted to become a man He was no lesser God because He chose to do so and no greater God because He showed humility. There is absolute perfect harmony in God.
God the Father and God Jesus Christ gave us a model to follow. Just as Jesus Christ was submissive to God the Father so should we be submissive and yet Jesus Christ is GOD FULLY.
The greatest and most amazing thing is when Jesus Christ, the Father and the Holy Spirit were in those critical moments on the cross.
You have to imagine this: imagine you love someone so dearly that you couldn't spend a moment away from this person. Now put that in absolute terms and notice here PERFECT LOVE, between God Jesus Christ, God the Father and God the Holy Spirit who had never known separation. Yet Jesus prayed if it were possible for the cup of separation to be taken away, if it could be done another way other for them to be separated. He couldn't bear to be separated from God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. They were inseparable from eternity past to eternity future and yet for a moment in time on the cross Jesus cried My GOD, My GOD why have you forsaken me, abandoned me?
Imagine ripping yourself in half that is what it was like for God. He suffered IMMENSELY so that you could be reconciled with Him. We will never know how much it cost God but for that moment in time whether it was a few hours, or an eternity I don't know but He was separated and bore our sins in our place because HE sooooo loved the world.
He's ALIVE and He loves you. Will you refuse or accept His love for you? I suggest you choose to accept it and follow Him because He is THE WAY the only way in fact.

I am not a believer but study theology.
Both Jesus and God are the same thing. This is according to the Nicene Creed and is believed by the vast majority of churches including catholicism and most protestant churches.
Therefore both are the creator, as well as the holy spirit. Christ, God and the Holy Spirit are the foundations of more western churches - hence the idea of the trilogy

You poor guy! With all the false doctrine about a trinity that had infected most "Christians", it's no wonder you're confused. Jesus is the son of God, the first being that God created, which is why he is called "the only- begotten son of God". The bible plainly acknowledges that he is beneath God (and therefore not God) in 2Corinthians 11:3- "3 But I want YOU to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the Christ is God."
God cannot die. Jesus died. Therefore, Jesus is not God.
God knows all. Jesus does not (Matthew 24:36). Therefore, Jesus is not God.
The list of scriptures go on and on. God has a name, by the way. Read Exodus 6:3, Psalm 83:18 for starters! Just be sure to avoid the blasphemous "New King James Version" where they took out God's name completely!

God, the Father, God, the Son and God, the Holy Spirit is 3 persons in one Godhead. All 3 entities were there at the Creation. Read the Bible, it's facinating and all Truth. With God, there lies no confusion. Confusion comes from the enemy, satan who wants to rob, steal and destroy your life thru his cunning deceptions to lure you from Truth = Jesus. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. When you have a relationship with Jesus, and have the Holy Spirit indwelling you, there is only Truth and Joy that surpasses all human understanding. Confusion doesn't even enter the picture, whether you believe this or not is your eternal choice. God bless.

God is the father of Jesus. Therefore God is the creator.

Jesus is God.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made." (John 1: 1-3)
Jesus is the Word.

This is a good question. I am a believer - fanatic more like it.
God is our Creator, Jesus is His Son. However, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all one, or the Trinity

We believe in one God Who subsists in three fully distinct but fully divine persons. Jesus is one of those persons.
It is a complicated idea but in short Jesus is God and the creator.

God the Father is the creator, Jesus is the son of God who shed his blood that anyone who would believe in him would have eternal life. When he died on the cross he said, I will not leave you comfortless, I will give you my Holy Spirit, I will be with you. Therefore Jesus is God, he is Deity, prophesied in the old testament, and fulfilled in the new testament.
