How to distinguish between Jesus and God ??? (Part-1)

Ask the Christian: “When Jesus prayed, to whom did he pray? Himself?”
Ask the Christian: “When Jesus was resurrected, according to your beliefs, where is he now? Sitting on the right hand of God? If so, how could he be God?”

If God is able to do anything, He could become a Man and have a Son

Logically speaking, the answer is no because the concept of God becoming man contradicts the basic meaning of the term “God.” People commonly say that God is able to do all things; whatever He wants to do, He can do. In the Bible of Christians it is said, “… through God all things are possible (Matthew, 19: 26; Mark 10: 27, 14: 36).” The
Qur’aan of Muslims states, “Indeed, Allah (God) is able to do all things (Qur’aan, 2:20),” and the Hindu scriptures carry texts of similar meanings.

All the major religious texts contain general expressions regarding the basic concept of God’s omnipotence. He is Greater than all things, and through Him all things are possible. If this general concept is to be translated into practical terms, one has to first identify and understand the basic attributes of God. Most societies perceive God as an
eternal being without beginning or end. If, on the basis that God is able to do all things, and it were asked whether God could die, what would be the answer? Since dying is part of “all things,” can it be said, “If He wants to?” Of course this cannot be said. So, there is a problem here. God is defined as being ever-living, without end, and dying means
“coming to an end.” Consequently, to ask if He can die is actually a nonsensical question. It is self-contradictory. Similarly, to ask whether God can be born, is also absurd because God has already been defined as eternal, having no beginning. Being born means having a beginning, coming into existence after not existing. In this same vein, atheist
philosophers enjoy asking theists: “Can God create a stone too heavy for Him to lift?” If the theist says yes, it means that God can create something greater than Himself. And if he says no, it means that God is unable to do all things.
