Is Jesus the Father?
Upvote:1
Let us answer your question as being about what most Christians believe.
The vast majority of Christians are Trinitarian. They believe that Jesus and the Father are separate (though both persons of God).
The main reason for this is the many occasions where Jesus refers to the Father as separate from himself (e.g. Mt 10:32, Mt 16:17, Mt 20:23, Mk 8:38, Mk 13:32, Lk 10:22, Jn 1:14, Jn 3:25, Jn 16:32) and addresses the Father (e.g. Matthew 11:25, Mk 14:36, Lk 22:42, Lk 23, Jn 11:41, Jn 12, Jn 17).
