if God is inside Jesus, how can Jesus be God? If I am in my car, am I my car?
It sounds like you have two Persons. One is God and the other is not but has that first one inside of him but somehow having that first one inside of him makes the second one God too?

I dont know if you read my other threads I referred to from a couple months ago(the man Christ Jesus).....let me try to clarify brother.
Jesus, NEVER physically pre-existed. He was the 2nd Adam(the first Adam was created from dust and was "a" son of God, the second Adam was created in the "egg" of Mary and became the "only begotten"(only conceived) son of God. They were both equally human, but made differently.
Now The Father(GOD), chose to dwell in His "only begotten" son(Jesus), unlike Adam in the garden. The first Adam sinned and the second Adam did not sin.(I believe with the help of the Holy Ghost).
Actually, the Father that was in Jesus was otherwise known as the Holy Ghost.
Luke 4:1 Jesus, being a man, was FILLED with the Holy Ghost.
Jesus died and resurrected, and now is the Image of God for us to worship. God without some kind of Image, is like worshipping the wind or electricity. You can feel it but it cant be seen . God, wanting to get more "personal"(seen) with mankind , created Jesus.
2 Cor. 5:19...says... "to wit(or to understand) that GOD(FATHER) was IN(INSIDE) Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself(God or the Father)
He is inside of a glorified human body now(the body of Jesus), and all that it entails, to have real fellowship with us. He now insists on us to go through an Image(Jesus)....
Its not 2 persons, Its 1 God "inside" 1 Man(glorified Jesus)
I would say as I said above in the previous thread.... A glorified man that has been given all power(that had none of his own originally) that is called by the Creator (our image) to worship, and is "containing" the "fullness" of this Creator ...is God to me!
