From John
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me
I think everyone agrees that God the Father is the God of the OT, but it seems some believe that Jesus and the Father are different. Jesus simply speaks the Fathers' word, if you believe Jesus. Therefore is it not true that Jesus and the Father are the same? Is Jesus not the God of the OT as well?

Jesus is the Word, Jesus is God
John 1:1 New King James Version (NKJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

If we go by Saint Patrick's description - that the Trinity is like the three lobes of a clover leaf - then Jesus and the Father are different lobes of the single God.
Seems like everyone has their own take on it, and they all seem ready to go to the mat over "their version" of the idea, as if they invented it and they alone have figured it out.
Originally posted by @suzianneHas your Jesus ever ordered that homosexuals be executed? How about ordering the execution of helpless babies?
Persons, offices, "lobes".

Originally posted by @eladarMaybe there hasn't been a 'realization or 'revelation' such as the one you may have had. Does it matter? What I mean is, does what someone else believes going to affect what you believe.
I am just wondering how someone who believes that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality can claim this Jesus.
If a belief conflicts with the Word, then there is a conflict.
On another note and just wondering. Why use the phrase 'this Jesus? Are you a Christian that believes in Jesus?

It doesn't make sense that Jesus prays to himself.
