Re: How can Jesus be both God and the Son of God?
'In the beginning, was the Word (Jesus / Yahoshuvah), and the Word was WITH God (Yahweh, the Father), and the Word WAS God (Elohim, Plural, the Godhead)' (john 1:1)

(greek and english together, read left to right)
The beginning-
Genesis 1:1
http://biblehub.com/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm
(hebrew and english together, read right to left)
In the beginning, GOD (elohim, plural, the trinity) created the heavens and the earth.
:-)
Adam and eve were a perfect representation of two parts of the Godhead-
The Creator (in hebrew, masculine pronoun) and the Holy Spirit (in hebrew, feminine pronoun).
They were meant to come together and have children.
Every time you speak you use words.. and they can be words of life, or of death. It is a sort of act of creation..
But procreation is unique to the abilities of Yahweh (the trinity, the godhead).
Anyways...
It's harder to understand scripture in english than in hebrew. And harder in greek than in hebrew too..
there are no masculine or feminine pronouns in english.. just memories.
And it's very hard to translate YHWH a plural hebrew word as plural-but-one.
Hear, oh Israel, YHWH (plural) thy God is ONE (together, unified, of one mind).
Can a family not work together as one..? Or
God the father
have the same thoughts and actions as
God the Holy Spirit
and share hs works and desires and thoughts with
God the Son?
