John 14:8-10 8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
Matthew 1:23 23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).
i repeat, Jesus NEVER said He was the Father.
Jesus is not the Father
The Holy Spirit is not the Father
Jesus is not the Holy Spirit
The HOLY Spirit is not Jesus
The Father is not the Holy Spirit
The Father is not Jesus
got it?
OLOFOB is correct on this one. Jesus never claimed to be the Father. Jesus is part of the Godhead and as such is so thoroughly like God the Father that their personalities are the same but They are distinctly different and have different duties. Consider three-in-one oil, what part lubricates and what part is rust preventive? It doesn’t matter. What matters is it works. We can never completely understand God but we can be assured of their perfectness, justice and mercy.
