Your struggle is with the inability of the oneness, or trinitarian, position concerning God and Jesus to reconcile with scripture. In both positions, God becomes schizophrenic, interacting with Himself as if He's multiple persons, having multiple wills, thinking He's His own Son, crying out to Himself asking Himself why He's forsaken Himself. He loves another, Jesus, but is really not loving another but is instead loving Himself. This other person He sometimes pretends He is also loves the first person who is His pretend Father.

God is Father, Jesus is His Son who isn't God. It's so very very simple. There's absolutely no reason to have a twisting, pretzel shaped, theology in an impossible attempt to make Jesus God.

Jesus Christ was with God and is God and this has been His Identity since the begining.
