There are several examples like this one in the Bible. Christ's baptism, his prayer after he raises Lazarus from the dead, ect. Does this not suggest that Jesus Christ and God the Father are seperate beings? and that Jesus was the Son of God, not God himself?

he never prayed to himself, he prayed to his father God.
Trinity is a man made doctrine. See Encyclopeadia Britanica : The council of Nicaea met on may 20, 325 A.D. Constantine presiding, actively guiding the discussion and personally proposed the idea "one substance with the father"

Yes Jesus prayed to God the Father because God the Father, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit are three separate manifestations of the One true God. The Old Testament teaches us that no man can see the face of God and live.
If God Almighty had come to this earth, in all His glory, every living thing would have perished. Instead, God decided to come to us in a way that we could more easily comprehend and not perish upon looking at Him. Just as our Sun is a star in the sky, it is also a light source and a heat source to us. One object with three different manifestations, used by God to sustain human life on this planet. God also chose to appear to Moses as a burning bush and spoke to him.
God is not limited to our earthly laws of physics. He is God and can do as He pleases. One day we will all see Jesus Christ as God Almighty, in ALL His Glory.

They are considered one in the same as Jesus is God in the form of man, the holy spirit is also God after the Resurrection of Christ.
Jesus was actually praying to God. Even though Christ was God in the form of man, he was still a man and feelings are often times too hard to comprehend. His need to pray was his comfort and in doing so he set an example for all man kind. .

If Jesus were God, why was Jesus tempted by Satan? The Bible says that God cannot be tempted, and Satan would have known that.
It's funny how trinitarians make it so complicated. It's a mystery. We can't understand. I That is untrue as well. The Bible says at 2 Timothy 3:16-17..."All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for SETTING THINGS STRAIGHT, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work."
How can we be close to a god we cannot really know?

The Father is not the Son, nor the Holy Spirit. The Son is not the Father nor the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not the Father nor the Son. Yet they are all three God.

This will be difficult because you clearly don't understand the Trinity. The "tri" in trinity represents the three entities, seperate but of the same influence. God the father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus became not God nor the son of God, the spirit that became in him became the son of God. He informed you this has not something to do with flesh and blood, that's with reference to the spirit. The observe that became in him is Adam and Adam isn't actual, you will locate this interior the NT. Adam became the son of God examine Luke kinfolk tree, that that's born of flesh is flesh and that that's born of spirit is spirit. He became not basically the 1st Adam however the 2nd Adam that's the 2nd coming of guy. guy isn't actual that's the call of the invisible creation, we are ManKind the image and likeness of guy. Jesus became actual and in case you stick to those lines the God is likewise actual which he isn't. There are 2 morning stars and Adam became the single that became given dominion over the creation the different did not have the dominion. night and Day are the names of the two morning stars, the observe's call is Day and no person is conscious it.

If you believe on the Holy Trinity, then you already know the answer. Trinity, or Triune, means 'three-in-one', the Father, the son and the Holy Ghost are each and one at the same time. Jesus was God made manifest in the flesh in the image of man.
Jesus prayed' "Father, let this cup pass from me..." and therefore it is correct to assume that he was praying to his Heavenly father.

He was praying to God the father. What this means is that Jesus realizes that he has a Father. The trinity is all about three holy Gods in one. Each has its own role. The father is meant to be fatherlike, the son was meant to come on earth and save us and the Holy Spirit to give us strength until judgement day. It might be a little fuzzy but thats why its called a Holy Mystery.
