I don't know why people have a problem with the fact God and Jesus are
one and the same.
If we are a spirit, living in a body of flesh, then why is it impossible for God to
create a body for Him to dwell in.
God came in the flesh, in order to feel as we feel. He knew what it was like to
be hungry, to get tired, to feel pain, even to the point of suffering and dying
upon a cross.
He knew how people thought about things, because he was able to talk to them
face to face.
Saying that it is impossible for God to live in a fleshly human body and live
on this earth, is limiting His Almighty powers.
Jer.32:27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard
for me?
 
In Genesis 1:1 it says. God created the heavens and the earth.
In John 1:1 it says. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God.
Next it says in verse 3 All things were made by him: and without him nothing was made.
Is he talking about God or Jesus here? In Genesis it says God created the Heaven
and the Earth, in John it says Jesus did. Jesus is the Word. So that means that
Jesus and God are one and the same.
I will go on. Verse 4 And the Word made flesh (Made flesh) and dwelt among us.
( and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the  father, full of grace
and truth.) The Word which is Jesus, became flesh. And lived here on earth in that form.
 
John went on to say that John the baptist bore witness of Him. He that cometh after me
is preferred before me: for he was before me.
Jesus existed before John. That means that He existed from the very beginning of time.
 
I Timothy 4:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was
manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of Angels, preached unto the gentiles,
believed on the world, received up into glory.
God was manifest in the flesh. Manifest in the flesh.
I think that this is clear that God was living in a body of flesh.
 
John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:
because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby, know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh, is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, where of ye heard
that it should come: and even now is already in the world.
 
Deut. 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: In Mark 12:30 Jesus
repeats this verse. Saying that we should Love God with all of our hearts.
 
There is just one God. Saying that Jesus is not God is saying that Jesus was not
divine. He was just another human being. So he was no different that you or me.
He was just someone like one of the prophets, that God worked through.
The only powers that He had were what God gave to him.
So any body could have been the savior of the world.
Jesus was different from the very beginning. God molded at body in the womb
of a woman for Him to occupy. He put His own spirit into that body so that
he could live here on earth. When he died upon the cross, it is the same as when
we die. Our clay body dies, but our spirit does not. The clay body that Jesus
lived in, is what died. His spirit lived on.
I do not think that saying that Jesus was God is an impossible thing to believe in.
Jesus lived, so that we could understand how God wants us to live. He died the
same death of every human being, even though he was perfect and didn't need
to die. He was resurrected, to show up what God has prepared for us.
We are going to be resurrected also. Jesus was God becoming our example.
