If Jesus is also the Father, and the Son, but the Father (who is Jesus) is not the Son, then there appears to be a contradiction. If I understand this right, the Father really didn't become flesh, He only indwells the Son?

Yes in OP theology Jesus is the Son, but also Jesus is the Father. HOW is Jesus both? Because when OPs are saying that they are speaking of the Person of Jesus who has those two distinct roles or modes

Oh, so Jesus is not God? Yikes! What did Jesus (the Son) say about this?
Unless you believe that I AM [egō eimi] you will die in your sins (
John 8:24).
Jesus is very much God, and all of our salvation rests in that fact.

You just contradicted yourself. If you say that Jesus is the Father (who is God) and also reveals Himself as the Son, then you have the Father who is God, (remember, the Father is not the Son) and the Son who is God, you have two distinct "persons" who are the same God.
