Thank for the clarity

If you also believe that Christ(God) became man, then why is it a problem if Mormons say the same of God the Father? If you believe that Christ and the Father are one being, then you technically also believe that God the Father became a man and was resurrected but did not sin. Saying that only Chirst became a man would be like saying my left foot became a Baptist but the rest of me is a Mormon.

This has always puzzle me too

If one believes that Jesus was also then Father why does it bother them, when Jesus was also in the state of man.

Also Jesuse even said in John 5 He can do nothing but what seeth the Father do!

In John 5 & 9 Jesus makes a point of saying why He is here on earth.

17 ¶ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

John 9:
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

John 8: 28.
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily,

19 verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man

I really think this turn into a riddle

The OT denies the Coming of the only begotten Son of Hevenly Father Jesus Chirst,

and the NT denies that Heavenly Father is the Father of Jesus Christ!
