God and Jesus are both 'one'

Can someone please help me understand how Jesus and God are both "One"? Is it because they both have the Son the Father and the Holy spirit??

Urm... Jesus is the Son, and is thus God, but is neither God the Father nor God the Holy Spirit.

1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (Son), and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost--three distinct yet inseparable Persons--yet one God.

Jesus is God.
And there is one God. One God.
He is the ever-existing, non-contingent, "I AM" John 8:58, Exodus 3:14
He is everything we need. He is the verb " I AM "
Jesus is God manifested in the flesh. I Tim 3:16
He is the complete God, not 1/3 of God, but God Himself who became a real flesh and blood finite man in time. John 1:1
In Him dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead. Not 1/3 of the fullness of the Godhead.
Col 2:9.
Jesus said to Phillip that if you have seen Me you have seen the Father. John14:9
The Father was in Him and He was in the Father. John 14:11
The Father and the Son coexist and coinhere, they are "into" each. They are distinct but never separate.
One of His names is Eternal Father. Isaiah 9:6
Jesus is God and there is only one God.
He is in the Father, and the Father is in Him and He was conceived in a Human virgin by the Holy Spirit. Matt 1:18
In resurrection His breath is the Holy Spirit. John 20:22
In resurrection He is the life giving Spirit. I Cor 15:45
He is The Spirit. II Cor 3:15
His eyes are the Spirit. Rev 5:6
He is a man in heaven standing at the right hand of God. Acts 7:56

How can all this be true?
Because He is also called Wonderful. Isaiah 9:6
He is our Savior God who abides in us and is so near. I Tim 2:3, Col 1:27

The only dumb question is the one that is never asked.

Well, that isn't true, but the OP was certainly not a dumb question at all.

From Finland.

It is incredible reading when one reads the history of early church theologians when they tried to formulate the doctrines.

The Eastern church and Western church went back ´n forth with these issues in the late 3rd CTs into the 4rh CT. What is Jesus´relationship with the Father or with God. Was the pre-existent Jesus equal and eternal or as the Arians would have it that Jesus was created.

It is interesting how Grecian philosophic concepts would make this clear as time went on and into the 5th CT.

Just for now.

Shalom, David.

Hi...

I just want to add to the other posts... that, in human terms it is hard to grasp this concept, that God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but, we know that with God nothing is impossible.

We must think of Him as God...I like to think of Jesus as being the human part of Him... the Word incarnate, that died and suffered on the cross for us.

The main thing is that we must love Him w/ all our mind, heart, soul and strength.
