All o the other word religions miss it... Hinduism, Islam, Jehovah's Witness, New Age, Catholicism and so on that Jesus alone is 100% the Father and 100% Man. He died on the cross, rose in body (not just spirit), and is coming back.
It matters because many "christians" I talk to will not say Jesus is the only way, the truth and the life... no one comes to the Father except by Me. They somehow rationalize even if you believe in Islam you will go to heaven because you believe in "god". and just don't know Jesus..
Is this true or is the Authority of Scripture true?
Let every man be a liar, but God be true.
Though Jesus and the Father are one, they are not the same beings.
They can separate from each other, and have a will and desires of their own.
Jesus had to submit to the will of the Father's, and not His own.
Jesus was not the Father in physical form.
God the Father is the Father.
Jesus is God the Son.
They two, makeup two thirds of one being, just like there is more than one of you within yourself, which speaks to you, even arguing with you at times, and yet, there is only one of you.
There are three beings who makeup GOD, each being different from each other, yet part of the whole of who GOD is in scope and ability.
For instance, the Father would not be able to create anything without Jesus, for all things come out of Him, and Jesus would not have been able to create anything without the Holy Spirit, the Life Blood and Water of Jesus, and of God the Father, or the power of both.
God is not like H2O.
He is not a solid at frigid temperatures, a liquid at moderate temperatures, and a gas at high temperatures.
God is not in the role playing game either.
He is not the Father playing the roll of the Son, and neither did Jesus claim to be the Father. He did not speak to or pray to Himself, but to His Father.
The Father is the head and greater than both Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
The Father sent Jesus, who was, and was with God the Father, before the word of God was made flesh.
They are separate beings, making up one God.
