Am I talking about the same being if I talk about God and Jesus?

Question

mmm...
That wording sound so OFF! It is not meant to be rude.
What I am asking here is that if I can use the names "God" and "Jesus" interchangeably in any situation.
If not, when does one apply to what situation?

Answer 1

Yes and no. Jesus said "the Father and I are one." (John 10:30) However, when one examines the Bible, one sees that His teaching is to pray to the Father in His (Jesus's) name. "In that day ye shall ask me nothing... Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you" (Joh.16:23). Jesus said his followers would not pray to him, but to the Father. We are directed not to pray to Jesus but to pray to God the Father in His Name.
According to this teaching, we are not to ask Jesus for things, but we are to ask the Father. Jesus himself said, "My Father is greater than I" (Joh.14:28).
While, as already mentioned, Jesus said "I and my Father are one"(John10:30) He also prayed to the Father that his disciples would "be one, even as we are one" (Joh.17:22). Jesus was not praying for his disciples to become one person, but for them to be united. And so too, Jesus and His Father are united, but they are not one and the same person. Similarly the Holy Spirit, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son, is one with them, but is a separate person of the Trinity.
For this reason I refrain from using "God" and "Jesus" interchangeably, although I believe that Jesus is part of the Godhead, along with the Holy Spirit.

Answer 2

No, sir.
1 is; the God, and Father.
The other is His Son.
Matt 3:17 God's voice was heard from heaven and He said "This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved."
'Jesus' is the name of the Son.
God is a title.
God's name is Jehovah Ps 83:18
Hope this helps.


edit:
Not all Christians worship a 3-headed god or God.
Polytheist faith is more than 1 god, as in 'the godhead.'
Monotheist faith is 1 (one) God.
True Christians do Not believe in the
non-Bilical teaching of the trinity.
J's W's, Mormons*, Unitarians*, and Muslims
ALL worship 1 God.
And do Not believe in the trinity.

Answer 3

The resurrected Christ appeared to Mary and told her he was ascending to his 1) Father and his 2) God. John 20:17
Jesus resurrected (no longer the "God/Man "of the trinitarian tradition) states he has a God. Therefore, he cannot Be God. The rest of the bible renderings are based on context, and show, in view of this, Jesus is a son fully imbued with his father's qualities, but he never was guilty of a seizure of power, and never saw himself as God, Jehovah.

Answer 4

I guess what you are getting at is Jesus God? well if He is not divine in nature then we are all in big trouble as we have no hope of salvation, only God made man could save humanity.
You can pray/talk to Jesus and you can do the same with the Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit as I do not forsee any antagonism between the persons of the Blessed Trinity over this.

Answer 5

Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are all members of what the Bible calls the Godhead. They are separate beings with different roles in the plan of salvation who are united in purpose.

Jesus is not Heavenly Father. He taught us to pray to the Father in His name. Jesus is divine, and is a God, but He told us to give the glory to the Father.

Answer 6

To me they're not the same. Jesus is an entity just as we are and, well I don't think there is a god just as Christians do, which doesn't mean I don't there is something out there or that we are all God. Anyway, to sum it up traditionally speaking they're different beings.

Answer 7

If you are speaking to anyone NOT a christian, and you want to be polite, you will differentiate between G-D and Jesus of Nazareth.

There are no other religions that claim Jesus is a deity except christianity.

Answer 8

If you're a Christian: Yes! The Trinity is a bit confusing since it's oppose the very idea of Monotheistic faith. Which unfortunately brings the answer that Christians are not monotheist. Their God is not one, but three.

Answer 9

Yes. The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is God (cf. John 8:58, 10:38, 14:10; Col. 2:9). And yes, Jesus DID say he was God. In John 8:58, when quizzed about how he has special knowledge of Abraham, Jesus replies, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I Am"—invoking and applying to himself the personal name of God—"I Am" (Ex. 3:14). His audience understood exactly what he was claiming about himself. "So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple" (John 8:59). In John 5:18 we are told that Jesus’ opponents sought to kill him because he "called God his Father, making himself equal with God."

In John 20:28, Thomas falls at Jesus’ feet, exclaiming, "My Lord and my God!" (Greek: Ho Kurios mou kai ho Theos mou—literally, "The Lord of me and the God of me!")

Philippians 2:6 says that Jesus "who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped" (New International Version). So Jesus chose to be born in humble, human form though he could have simply remained in equal glory with the Father for he was "in very nature God."

Also significant are passages that apply the title "the First and the Last" to Jesus (Rev. 1:17). This is one of the Old Testament titles of Yahweh: "Thus says Yahweh, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, Yahweh of armies: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; besides me there is no god’" (Is. 44:6; cf. 41:4, 48:12).

This title is directly applied to Jesus three times in the book of Revelation: "When I saw him [Christ], I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand upon me, saying, ‘Fear not, I am the First and the Last’" (Rev. 1:17). "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the First and the Last, who died and came to life’" (Rev. 2:8). "Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the beginning and the end" (Rev. 22:12–13).

This last quote is especially significant since it applies to Jesus the parallel title "the Alpha and the Omega," which Revelation earlier applied to the Lord God: "‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty" (Rev. 1:8).

But did the early Christians believe this? YES! Here are some quotes:

Ignatius of Antioch: "Ignatius, also called Theophorus, to the Church at Ephesus in Asia . . . predestined from eternity for a glory that is lasting and unchanging, united and chosen through true suffering by the will of the Father in Jesus Christ our God" (Letter to the Ephesians 1 [A.D. 110]).

Aristides: "[Christians] are they who, above every people of the earth, have found the truth, for they acknowledge God, the Creator and maker of all things, in the only-begotten Son and in the Holy Spirit" (Apology 16 [A.D. 140]).

Clement of Alexandria: "The Word, then, the Christ, is the cause both of our ancient beginning—for he was in God—and of our well-being. And now this same Word has appeared as man. He alone is both God and man, and the source of all our good things" (Exhortation to the Greeks 1:7:1 [A.D. 190]).

Answer 10

The Father and the Son are ONE
