Who is God, and who is Jesus? Without a personal interpretation, here is what I read in the scriptures, and believe to be true.
1). God the father is Holy and He is Spirit (thus we have the Holy Spirit). "Father" would be His title, but the essence of who He is, is Spirit.
2). He created all things by His words, these words existed in the beginning with God, those words "BECAME FLESH". This is who we call "Jesus".
3). Those words, that became flesh (i.e., a physical Body, via virgin birth), it is this body of flesh, that, we call Jesus. "God the Father's Son".... Jesus.
That son is full of God's Spirit, without measure, so in His spirit, the son is the same nature as His father, they are one. But in the physical body, Jesus is a descendant of Abraham/David. God does not have a body of flesh. Jesus is that body of flesh, that died as a sacrifice for us. Like us (You and I) Jesus is flesh and spirit (but no sinful nature, just God's Spirit without measure).
So, we have one God, and Father, who is Spirit, filling His son without measure, and filling us IF WE are His children.
How did I do, explain it simple enough for a non-Christian ?
*My Goal.... There is a difference between God saying to Moses "Tomorrow you will go to Egypt" and God Saying "Tell Pharaoh Thus saith the Lord, I will smite Egypt today" OR "Light Be" and light became. But THE WORD of God, is who Jesus is, as in "Light Be" per John Ch 1..... But I was trying to just state facts in an easy "reader Digest kind of way, to a non-believer, about what the scriptures proclaim about the Godhead, without an interpretation of those statements.
