I was reading the Bible the other day and came across the passage whens Jesus says that only in his hometown is a prophet not welcome...or something like that.
What's bothering me is that he called himself a prophet. I feel like at some parts of the Bible Jesus is undoubtedly the Son of the Trinity, and at others he is just a prophet like John the Baptist. Can someone help?

Jesus WAS a prophet, but being a prophet doesn't exclude Him from being other things. A prophet is an office, or job per se. His three main jobs are prophet, priest and king and you'll find Christ described as each one of those in various places of the Bible (the book of Hebrews includes a discussion of Christ holding all three of those offices where it talks about Jesus being a priest after the order of Melchizedek). Holding those three offices, however, does not mean that He's not also God--it just means He can multi-task! :)

The Lord Jesus Christ was the prophet as prophesied since ancient times, even the time of Adam. And of course, He is also the Son of the Living God, the Savior and Redeemer of mankind.
All of the above. There should be no confusion about it.

Jesus is God.
Yes He is a prophet. He is all things. He is not the son of the trinity-He is the second person of the trinity. He is Emanuel- God in human flesh.
He also called Himself the 'son of man'.

Jesus is the whole nine yards. God, Lord,King, Prophet, Teacher, First and Last, Prince of Peace, etc... his wonderful names are endless.

While the Bible is the word of God, it is not perfect. Don't let some mistakes in translation let you stray from the truth.

Yes... I can help. Jesus is a fictional character, and the people who wrote the fictional accounts were inexperienced hacks... they could not keep the details straight. The New Testament (along with christianity) is a 1,700 year-old hoax... a criminal business enterprise that took over the western world for about a thousand years.

"For none of his good acts do we demand he die, but that he says He is the Son of God and blasphemes." -- the trial in the gospels
