Dear Gab,
Yes, Jesus Christ is Almighty God! However, knowing this will not assure you of eternal life. The Lord took on a human nature because man had rebelled against God and died spiritually. This means that no matter what he did (man) he could not return to his original relationship with God. The Bible tells us that the penalty for sin (rebellion against God) is eternal damnation, that is to spend forever in hell.
Now you know if you have ever been to a funeral, that the body in the casket is not going to get up and start talking or eating some pastries. The person is DEAD. And that is how we are spiritually. We are DEAD in sins and trespasses. And we will remain that way unless God intervenes.
He (God) is the only One that open our spiritual ears to hear and eyes to see. He is the only One that can give us a new resurrected soul. The Bible says, "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God." The "new resurrected soul" is what we receive when Christ saves us. If Christ did not pay a person's sin debt,
they will die physically (like everyone else) but then they will endure the second death, which is eternity in hell. Jesus Christ (the God-Man) was the only One who could endure eternal damnation and come out on the other side.
Christ did not pay the sin debt for everyone! He chose certain ones that He would save from before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:3-5). We do not know who these "elect" are but God does. And God is no respector of persons-we have nothing to offer God anyway! The environment in which He (God) saves a person is the word of God-the Bible. The Bible states, "So then, faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." "Faith" is a synonym for Christ, because He is the only One who is Faithful and True (Revelation 19:11). So then, Christ cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
If you are not saved, I would suggest that you start reading the Bible slowly and prayerfully. Ask the Lord to have mercy on you because He is merciful. For further information see my references.

Through Jesus The Christ is one way God manifests Himself.. Yes. The Only Way to God that is open to mankind is there because of The Sacrifice of Christ Jesus... No one may come to The One True God without first accepting the covering of The Blood of Christ.

It depends on what denomination you come from.
One version of the bible says:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1)
While the other has something like
"In the beginning was the Word and God".
I can't recall the exact differences (they escape my mind...), but a simple translation mixup has led to the great feud; oh, and also the Jehova's Witnesses knocking on your door every ten minutes. They get pretty annoying eh?
And if you're one of those evolutionaries, stop and think for a minute.
Consider, for a minute, that you are right. There is no God, and I have wasted an hour of my life every day sitting in Church while you have played in the sun.
Now; what if you're wrong? What if there is a god? Because I believe, had strong moral values and spent an hour in church every week, I am saved forever. You however, will burn.
Before you deny god, ask yourself; why do you buy insurance?
Because if an accident DOES occur, you'll be relatively safe. If God DOES exist, I will be saved... And you will burn. Of course, if he doesn't... Oh well.

Jesus Christ is the Word of the One True God. God (Elohim) the Father, Word & Holy Spirit.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. As a man anointed with the Holy Spirit. And He lived a life without sin and He healed the lame & the blind & opened the ears of the deaf. He Is the Lamb of God. Who shed His Blood for the remission of our sins. He was sinless and only the righteous can pay the price for sin. So since He was sinless and died on the cross, death could not keep Jesus (in his humanity) in the grave, & Jesus raised from the dead and new temple; everlasting body, soul & spirit. So, the Son of Man is exalted with the Name above all names, That at the Name of Jesus, every knee shall bow & tongue confess, "Yeshua Messiah Yahweh." to the Glory of God the Father.
The LORD God is Yahwey Elohim One Yahweh in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, Yahweh Elohim Is God the Father, Word/Son & Holy Spirit.

Yes, in John 10:30 Jesus said "I and the Father are one."

Not according to Jesus Christ himself. He said in John 17:3 -
"This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of ►►you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ◄◄."

No, no, and no.
First, there is no one god - people create gods all the time. The Jesus/trinity god is one among many. Even the bible recognizes that other gods exist. The Jesus/trinity god only asks to be first among many.
Second, there is no true god - all gods are based on myths created to explain things which man does not understand. An example of this would be the Intelligent Design argument that god is the god of the gaps. Those places where science has not yet fully explained something are the work of god. This is not truth and it is not a way to get to truth.
Third, there is no Christ - the christ (or messiah) label was slapped on Jesus by his followers. He clearly was not the messiah prophesied in the OT and expected by the jews. The later cherry picking of OT verses and their insertion in the gospels a generation or two after the death of Jesus does not make it true.
Jesus was a first century ethical philosopher of note whose teachings could hold their own against the Greek and Roman philosophers of the time. That is significant enough.

What you believe to the answer to that question is your personal issue.
I believe that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are not separate entities, but different aspects of god.
The Father persona is the one who creates, gives sense of direction, leads.
Jesus is the way of love, compasion, forgiveness.
And the Holy Spirit is the one for spiritual beliefs and such.
Anyway, what you believe is up to you.
