John 10:30
I think what they are saying is that "Jesus" is the human form of "God" being that "God" is all powerful he is able to clone himself into a human form known as "Jesus" but I'm probably wrong.

looks like someone payed attention in religion class.
As catholics we believe there is one true God and he comes in three forms, The Holy Trinity: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
Father = God Almighty, creater of heaven and earth
Son = Jesus Christ, God's son but in the other hand God on Earth

God exists in three persons
The "Shield of the Trinity" or "Scutum Fidei" diagram of traditional Western Christian symbolism.This one God however exists in three persons, or in the Greek hypostases. God has but a single divine nature. Chalcedonians â?? Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants â?? hold that, in addition, the Second Person of the Trinity â?? God the Son, Jesus â?? assumed human nature, so that he has two natures (and hence two wills), and is really and fully both God and Man.
The Three are co-equal and co-eternal, one in essence, nature, power, action, and will. However, as laid out in the Athanasian Creed, only the Father is unbegotten and non-proceeding. The Son is begotten from (or "generated by") the Father. The Spirit proceeds from the Father (or from the Father and the Son â?? see filioque clause for the distinction).
It is often opined that because God exists in three persons, God has always loved, and there has always existed perfectly harmonious communion between the three persons of the Trinity. One consequence of this teaching is that God could not have created Man in order to have someone to talk to or to love: God "already" enjoyed personal communion; being perfect, He did not create Man because of any lack or inadequacy He had. Another consequence, according to Dr. Thomas Hopko, is that if God were not a trinity, He could not have loved prior to creating other beings on whom to bestow his love. Thus we find God saying in Genesis 1:26, "Let us make man in our image". It should be noted however that Jews do not see the word "us" here as denoting plurality of persons within the Godhead, rather it is a plural of respect. Hebrew and Arabic both have plurals of respect, where God speaks of Himself in the plural.
The name for God used in the beginning of the Genesis account in Hebrew is El or Elohim. Elohim is a plural noun in form, but is singular in meaning when it refers to the true God. For trinitarians, emphasis in Genesis 1:26 is on the plurality in Deity, and in 5:27 on the unity of the divine Substance. The nature of this word (Elohim) suggests the nature of the Trinity to Trinitarians. (Others believe that the plural morphology of Hebrew Elohim is a "plural of majesty" or simple sign of respect, analogous to other pseudo-plural usages seen in a number of languages.)
Jesus built my Hotrod...
Man juggalotus, I didn't understand any of that.
religion is for those who feel insecure and need "someone to lean on" if they fucked up. i was born in korea where they have the largest church in the world. they had non-stop services from 8am - 11pm. i couldn't believe how much money these fuckin people were giving out. if you ask me, religion is another money making ploy. screw jesus and just pick up a blunt :rasta:
