I like the simplicity of that
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but
we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin. Hebrews 4:15

as Scripture informs us;
1COR. 15:50.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit The Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
Christ died for our sins, (leaving His fleshly existence 'behind'), His bones and flesh turned into dust, just like ours will be
after our death -
He was 'raised incorruptible', that is, a Spirit Body, for His 'flesh was left behind to decay, just like ours will be'..
as it is written:
JOHN 6:63.
It is The Spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing: the Words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are Life.

Please read the first chapter of John (1-14). Here, I will help you out
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John. He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe. He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God— children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.

oh yes Magenta, PR hit the nail on the head with such a profound statement said in such simplicity -
we so hope and pray that even if it didn't get much response, that it at least was a planted seed,
if even for just one person...

Jesus did not define Himself that way. He said many definitive things about Himself, such as:
“I am the bread of life” (John 6:35, 41, 48, 51).
“I am the light of the world” (John 8:12; 9:5).
“I am the door of the sheep” (John 10:7 and 9).
“I am the good shepherd” (John 10:11, 14).
“I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25).
“I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6).
“I am the true vine” (John 15:1, 5).
“I tell you the truth,” Jesus says, “before Abraham was born, I am!” (John 8:58).
"I AM" is the name God gave for Himself when Moses asked.
“I am the bread of life” (John 6:35, 41, 48, 51).
“I am the light of the world” (John 8:12; 9:5).
“I am the door of the sheep” (John 10:7 and 9).

Well-known Christian philosopher William Lane Craig has several videos on his "Reasonable Faith" YouTube channel which explain the doctrine of the Trinity in great detail.
Reasonable Faith is also the name of Dr. Craig's ministry.
I know I'm "feeding" right now, but I do try to give the benefit of the doubt.

Of course, if they actually are asking us questions wanting to know about our faith for themselves, and not just came to bicker, and to express contempt towards what we believe like the usual, that's unfruitful and leads nowhere. We are all people, trying to make sense of this world and if there's something after. I see no reason for being unkind based on someone's background, I could've started off as a Muslim in my life if my parents taught me that as a child.

As the Bible says, at the right hand of the father.
Jesus was God incarnate. If you research the meaning of the right hand in Judaism, because God appeared as the prophesied messiah of the Jews, you'll understand better where he is.
God is the creator of all. Flesh, soul, spirit. And as we're told about our destiny, the body returns to the dust from whence it sprang and the soul to God who gave it.
God created the dust. Therefore Jesus returned to himself as creator of all things. He is the Holy Spirit that we call God.
