Suppose I was a school teacher. And suppose I moonlight as a cook at a restaurant. One day at school, I fly off the handle and kill one of my students. The cops track me down later that evening at my other job. But, uh oh. They don't find the school teacher they're looking for. They find a cook! I guess they'll have to wait till the next day to arrest me, when I'm in my "school teacher" manifestation.
Get my point?
Well? Do you get my point?

Hebrews 13:23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty
Jesus is God by virtue of "Oneness". The man, Jesus Christ the Son of God, was born a baby. He had a human body, a human soul, and a human spirit. He had to learn his A-B-Cs and 1-2-3s. He studied Torah and was subject to his parents like all kids are. However, from conception this human being (the Son of God) was inseparably "one" with the indwelling Father who is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. The human spirit of Jesus and the Spirit of God being enmeshed or interwoven together inseparably...in man Christ Jesus. By virtue of this Oneness the man Jesus Christ shared in the very nature and person of the indwelling Father. In addition, the indwelling Father shared in the very nature and person of His human tabernacle, the Son of God. The Father and the Son have two complete and distinct natures, however, they are inseparably one in Jesus.
It's not God and Christ Jesus as Trinitarians assume. It's not that God is Christ Jesus as many Oneness proponents assume. It's God IN Christ Jesus...
I Corinthians 5:19
19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
God didn't morph or trans mutate himself into being Jesus. From Christ's conception, God chose to combine His divinity and person with the humanity and person of the Son of God, the man Christ Jesus. Jesus was an authentic man who was (and is) inseparably one with God. Oneness.
Great!!!!
That's exactly why I cannot say that Jesus is the Father.
