There is plenty of scripture that shows that Jesus is not the Father. John 1:1, John chapter 17 in which Jesus prays to the Father and so is therefore himself not the Father, being two such scriptures.
Jesus is God come as a human.
God did not pretend to be a human, He really came as a human.
Notice you didn't reply to what I said and acknowledge the scriptures I gave.
You merely post the same scriptures you don't understand, like you did before.

All you seem to be able to do is repeat what some man in a false denomination taught you.

You think you proved that with your insults and ignoring the scriptures I gave and the things I said?
That's right, damnable doctrines and heresy in the church, right now. Does your church have them, or is everyone saved? According to Peter, it is real.
2Pe 2:1* But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.*
Swift destruction = Surprise HELL package.
Well, probably not really Peter, since 2 Peter is almost certainly pseudepigraphal, probably written around 80 years after St. Peter's death.
So, it makes one wonder what was going on when that was written and if it was pointedly directed at one or more persons in a particularly church community at the time.
As always, though, I find the thinly-veiled delight of a Christian at the thought of someone else going to hell disturbing.

Yep. It's like they've never read Paul's letter to the Romans warning about such things.
Ha, you've certainly proven the old adage that "the devil can quote scripture for his purpose". Well done.
Even if you're not "the devil", which I don't think you are , it does demonstrate how easily the Bible can be misused and manipulated to cast aspersion on other people and try to make them look "wrong" or bad. It's a dangerous practice in the wrong hands.

I am so excited.
Matthew 10:25 It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
Acts 5:41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.

The first one made me laugh.
Don't count so fast on getting those points. You are not suffering here. You are the one on the offensive when you make a post with the specific purpose of disparaging other people. Not quite sure how you feel that fits in with the love-your-neighbor commandment.

It is love to teach the truth, but of course many reject it.

Of course many do.
But it's not love, or teaching for that matter, to set yourself up high and put forth what you believe to be the truth of Christianity by looking down from your high place at people who believe otherwise telling them that they are wrong.
God didn't put you up there. You've elevated yourself to that position. Step down.
Remember, the only way that human beings can be like Jesus is to humble themselves.

I have to preach the truth. It is being a servant. It is a loving thing to do. I left more than one false denomination in search for the truth, so I am not telling anyone to do something that I haven't done.
You worry so much about Catholics and other denominations being offended? The Catholic religion says if I don't return to her before I die that I will go to hell for eternity. Every denomination believes they have the truth and others don't, so they shouldn't act indignant when someone shows them the truth from the Bible. I love showing people the truth.
