Healthy dose of common sense anyone?

A son and a father are two distinct entities.
You cannot be the same thing. And this rule applies to all humans. Jesus was not God.

No, you cannot.
But once again there are the reports of the declining Christian community particularly in Bethlehem.
The Christian population of the areas under the control of the Palestinian Authority (PA) has sharply declined in recent decades, as tens of thousands have abandoned their holy sites and ancestral properties to live abroad. Those who remain comprise a beleaguered and dwindling minority. In sharp contrast, Israel’s Christian community has prospered and grown by at least 270 percent since the founding of the state.
While Israel understands that the construction of the security barrier inconveniences some of the Christian communities living in its vicinity, Israel has shown sensitivity to Christian interests in planning the route of the barrier.
The plight of Christian Arabs remaining in the PA is, in part, attributable to the adoption of Muslim religious law in the PA Constitution. Israel, by contrast, safeguards the religious freedom and holy places of its Christian (and Muslim) citizens. Indeed, in recent years Israel has been responsible for restoring many of the churches and monasteries under its jurisdiction.
The growing strength of Islamic fundamentalism within the Palestinian national movement poses problems for Christians, who fear they will be deemed opponents of Islam and thereby risk becoming targets for Muslim extremists. This is exacerbated by the fact that Hamas holds substantial power and seeks to impose its radical Islamist identity on the entire population within the PA-controlled territories.

The man is father to the child.
The child is father to the man.*
"Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared for me:..."Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do they will, O God.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God, All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
If you cannot grasp the above do this: Staple one end of a slinky to the first step of a set. Start the slinky off the step to the landing. The slinky settles on the landing but part is still on the first step.
The first step is heaven, the landing is earth. The slinky is the father and the action is the son coming to earth. The whole event issues from the heart of God; in whom we live and move and have our being. God is one. Jesus is Lord.
My Lord and my God. Phillip said, show us the Father....... Jesus said. Have I been with you so long and yet you don't know me?

GOD IS NOT ABOUT SENSE,GOD IS A SPIRIT,BUT FIRST
YOU MUST BELIEVE AND HAVE HIS UNDERSTANDING AND NOT MENS.
The Trinity of God
M't:3:16: And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
M't:3:17: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
THE FATHER,SON AND HOLY GHOST,ARE ALL ONE.
IT IS A SPIRITUAL BELIEF.

Can I be God? healthy dose of reality girl. God was before creation and new we were not perfect and did provide for us to be joined back with him in his righteousness. When God said Let us create man in our image..he meant exactly that Genesis chapter two shows that man was created from the dust that is his flesh and the spirit was breathed into him this spirit was differen't than the creation God gave the animals that perish with their flesh. Man is more than flesh he also has an eternal spirit ant these two make up one soul. This is the image of God who who is before all of creation and is Father Son and Holy Spirit. God's plan was that a part of him would be born a man and would dwell with us and overcome temptation and remain perfect and pay the penalty of sin that man did aquire. Man is more than flesh and God is greater than his creation. When a man's flesh does die the man can continue on in a eternal spirit...the flesh and spirit together make up a living soul. God is indeed greater than the man he created in his image and he too has more than a single part.

Well, for one can you create a world or a universe? Since you make us to be GOD'S equal we must be missing the secret to creating things out of thin air. Why don't you share this with us since you obviously have everything all figured out.

Every day I look at my son and I see his Dad. I look at his dad's baby pictures, and he might as well be the same person.
