Are Jesus and God the same?
Mainstream Christian orthodoxy, solidified at the Council of Nicaea, dictates that Jesus and God are the same in essence (homoousios), defining Jesus as the pre-existent Word of God who took on human flesh.
However, secular historians and Unitarian theologians point out that the Synoptic Gospels make explicit distinctions between Jesus and God, such as when Jesus prays to the Father or denies knowing the timing of the Final Hour. Islamic theology strictly rejects any identification of Jesus with God, viewing the claim as a violation of absolute monotheism (Tawhid). Explore More
Who is GOD?In monotheism and henotheism, God is conceived as the Supreme Being and principal object of faith. The concept of God as described by theologians commonly includes the attributes of omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), omnibenevolence
(perfect goodness), divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence.
