Isn't Jesus, God?

If not, then the Father is god?...How about the Holy Trinity?

I'm sorry, but answers have been quite diverse. I'm really curious...who's really the Christian God?...The Holy Father, The Son, or both of them together with the Holy Ghost?
Please don't get angry with me. I'm asking a question only Christians can really answer surely.
Have love in your heart.

This will depend on your denomination. I think it is a dogma. I'd think of it like the three musketeers all for one and one for all....yeah, but there are 3 of you!
Yes, there are three parts to the trinity, but when it comes to discerning who does what or who is most important, it is something we just can't understand.
Yes, God is the Father of Jesus, however I don't think this is in the strictest sense that we understand the word "Father".
Good question, sorry can't help much, but I think even if you asked the Pope in Rome, he would probably start " well, the way I think of it...." as we just don't know.

A lot of people mess this simple truth up...and cause confusion....
The Father is God...there is only ONE God....
Jesus is the son of God, not God
both Jesus and the holy spirit operate under the authority of the Father.....
the "trinity" is NOT of 3 equal persons, as usually taught....Jesus clearly said his Father was greater than him...and scripture says that both Jesus and the Spirit do the will of the Father....that puts the Father on top of things.
Jesus and the Spirit do have divine qualities, and are above the angels in heaven.
so Jesus is divine, as he is the son of his Father God, but only the Father is officially God.....just as a prince is royal, as his father the king is royal, but only the father is king.

It's just that without His Spirit you wont understand. He gives His Spirit to those He wants. So if you have His Spirit He brings understanding that the wise of the world will not understand.
God is esoteric. Most of His messages are for His elect. The mark of an unbeliever is that they wont believe what He says. God didn't chose those people, and He stated that their unbelief is what condemns them; even more than that, He said that they are already condemned.
So the often seen phrases 'God loves everyone' , and ' We are ALL God's children' are false statements.
In Christianity, that is God. He retains the right to choose who is capable of responding to Him positively.
Let there be no more confusion on your part. IF you WANT to know God, then He gave you the ability to desire Him. If you are not really interested in knowing Him and his message of eternal life through Jesus Christ, He is not interested in you.
I hope that you feel enlightened.

God is the creator and sustainer of all things. The Bible tells us that he spoke the universe into existence, that he specifically created each one of us, and that he continuously holds it all together.
The Bible also specifically refers to God in three ways: God as father, God as son, and God as spirit. Somehow, in a way that I cannot fully understand, the father, son and spirit are one. Jesus is God as son. Thus, Jesus is God.

The Spirit is the word of God that lives within us.
Jesus is the Son of God, sitting on the right hand of his Father.
Jesus came to earth to show us God's image, God's way, Jesus is like God's footstep. Jesus even said himself, he wasn't speaking of his own words, but the words of his Father in Heaven. If you know Jesus, then you know God.
If I personally followed in Jesus footsteps, and you know me then you know God. I follow in God's footsteps like a child follows in his dad's footsteps. The Holy Spirit is God that lives within me. You feed the Holy Spirit with the word of God and you grow to be like God.
If you know that child then you know what his dad is like

John17:21That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
John17:22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one
Jesus Christ is God
