Ok, first off.. I am not christian... I am not anything... I was just curious why "God" and "Jesus" are oh so often mentioned as the same person in christian music and text. "Jesus" is some how "God" in sooooo many different songs. Is there a purpose to this or what?
And if you feel like shooting, hanging, trolling, me for not being a christian, feel free to email me.

Jesus is 'God the Son', part of a trinity that has 3 parts... Father, Son, Holy Spirit....
in praising and honoring one part of the Trinity, all are praised and honored!

Is it OK if I don't shoot, hang, or troll you for not being a Christian and just love you?
God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit are all God. There is God, the Father, God, the Son, Jesus and God's Holy Spirit.
They are what is call the Trinity of God. They are all God with some different and some same qualities.
God the Father is our Creator. Jesus, the Son is Creator, Savior and Friend. The Holy Spirit, is Creator, Helper, Comforter and He raised Jesus from the dead as He also, will raise all Christians.

Jesus is one person of the Triune God. This doctrine is known as the Trinity.
Tertullian, one of the early church fathers, coined the term "Trinity." The word actually means "three-ness." Tertullian was an ardent supporter of orthodoxy in the church, and was one of the greatest defenders of the historic Christian faith.
The term "Trinity" is not found in the Scriptures, but the doctrine is clearly displayed. There are many times where Jesus said of Himself that He was God. He applied the name of God, "I AM," to Himself in several passages. Here's a few examples: Matthew 14:27, Mark 6:50, Mark 13:6, Luke 21:8, John 4:26, John 6:20, John 8:24, 28, 58, and John 13:19. (Please understand that some of these passages have been misinterpreted in the many English translations as "I am He," or "It is I," for clarity's sake.) There are several other passages that I have not listed.
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three persons who have one essence. Jesus is not the Father or the Spirit, and the Father is not the Son or the Spirit, and the Spirit is neither the Father or Son. They are all God, but separate persons.
Each of them share the same attributes. For example, the Father is eternal (Psalm 90:2), and so is the Son (John 1:2), and so is the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 9:14). Another shared attribute is their holiness. Only God is truly holy. The Father is holy (Revelation 15:4), so is the Son (Acts 3:14), and so is the Spirit (Acts 1:8).

They are the same. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are equal. If you talk about one, you mean the other two also. It's that simple.
Oh, I don't want to shoot, hang, or troll you for not being a Christian. I have to say I'm pretty busy right now.

I think most Christians have the understanding that Jesus is both God and man, although there may be many differences in exactly what that means. I think it is best explained in John 1:1-14, John 14:9, Colossians 2:9-10, and I Timothy 3:16. I know quoting the Bible doesn't prove anything to you, but that's the basis of my understanding of God.
The doctrine of God in "three persons" is totally contrary to what I read in the Bible and I think the people who believe in the trinity believe in confusion. Three "persons," each being God, is three Gods, and according to the Bible there is only one God so there can't be a trinity. I also say God is not a "person," but God is omnipresent Spirit, and Jesus is the one person in whom dwells the fulness of deity. "Holy Spirit" is God's substance; that's what God is; the term does not denote one of three persons.

God is the Supreme Being,Christ represents His manifestation in human form in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Christ is our intercessor with God; through Christ we enjoy God's forgiveness,then Jesus Christ knew us and knows our hearts from a human perspective. Thus we may pray to God or Christ; I usually begin with the Lord's Prayer (formerly) then address Christ for personal prayer. No I don't feel like "shooting" you just for asking a simple question. Happy to be helpful. Best wishes.

Jesus Christ is the fullness of the Godhead in human form. He IS God --- God The Son (not God the Father or God the Holy Spirit). One God - manifested in three persons. So when they sing about Jesus being God they are correct. He is the second member of the Trinity.

Jesus is God incarnate, the invisible God manifested in the flesh. He is called the son of God because he is the son of man. He was born of a virgin whom the Spirit of God overshadowed and caused to conceive a baby while she was betrothed, meaning she was engaged and not married yet, in other words it showed that she was a virgin. So, the baby man-child was conceived by God and God was himself the baby that grew in Mary's womb. God is omnipresent but obviously the son of God isn't omnipresent. No where in the bible is the phrase "God, the son" found. The son of God is the human, Jesus Christ, who is God in the flesh and within whom dwells the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Humanity is not God, God lives fully within the humanity of Jesus, the human son of God.

Jesus is God but he isn't, he's God's son, except they're one, except Jesus had to be born as a human so that the other humans could sacrifice him back up to God, Who's into that kind of thing, and now they're together again but they're separate, but they're the same, but one or both of them is coming back - soon! - and there's gonna be hell to pay, etc. Oh plus a bird got in there somewhere.
I hope that's clear!

The truth about your question is;Jesus is not God but the son of God the Almighty, Jesus never claimed to be God ,but the churches have made him to be so falsely.So people are confused.
Jesus said at John 14 :28.My father is greater then me.
