Who is the God Jesus introduces?

It says he was WITH God~
John1:1- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2- The same was in the beginning with God.
God called Moses, the Angels, and the Judges of Israel "God"- so what do you think He meant when He applied it to Jesus?

He said in prayer (to someone other than HIMSELF)~
"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." - John 17:3
 
the Word was God
The second person of the Trinity
The Word means the reason for everything.

Please quote your verse calling Moses God.
 
Exodus 7:1-And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made thee God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. - Darby
 
You need to read the Bible. God uses what is already in the hearts of people to accomplish his purposes. He often used it to lead to their destruction. What God did with Moses led Pharaoh to see Moses as a God instead of crediting the true God for Moses accomplished.

Are you familiar with the Geneva Bible?

”In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God. This same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made. In it was life, and that life was the light of men. And that light shineth in the wilderness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not.”

They were all God’s agents / representatives.

His prayer is directed to his God and Father.
 
“1.The one God. (a) theos is the most frequent designation of God in the NT. Belief in the one, only, and unique God (Matt. 23:9; Rom. 3:30; 1 Cor. 8:4,6; Gal. 3:20; 1 Tim. 2:5; Jas. 2:19) is an established part of Christian tradition. Jesus himself made the fundamental confession of Jud. his own and expressly quoted the Shema (Deut. 6:4-5; see Mk. 12:29-30; cf. Matt. 22:37; Lk. 10:27). This guaranteed continuity between the old and the new covenants. The God whom Christians worship is the God of the fathers (Acts 3:13; 5:30; 22:14), the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Acts 3:13; 7:32; cf. Matt. 22:32; Mk. 12:26; Lk. 20:37), the God of Israel (Matt. 15:31; Lk. 1:68; Acts 13:17), and the God of Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 1:3; Eph. 1:3; 1 Pet. 1:3).”

i do know that whomever Jesus was praying to and relying upon for directions and instructions that someone or something was a spirit and that spirit was inside Jesus
 

" the father is not in Jesus "

thanks very much for taking time to reply and that is a statement that makes sense and i understand what you are saying

however, there seems some great confusion by reading your statement and I was hoping you could dedicate just a few moments to explain ?

firstly we see that the Father is - " in the believer "
Mat 10:20 For it is not you that speak, but THE SPIRIT OF YOUR FATHER that speaketh in you.

the father speaks in his servants and also the scriptures seem to truly indicate that the Father is truly indeed " IN JESUS "

is the father in Jesus - according to the scripture ?

Jhn 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

Jhn 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

Jhn 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee,

Jhn 10:38 the Father is in me, and I in him.

Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Spirit of the Holy , whom the Father will send in my name, - ------------- { will come to you. )

Rom 8:15 but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).

Ga 4:6 And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father. - ---------------- ( I will come to you. )

Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; :17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

if the Father is not in Jesus why would Jesus make the claim to say that the Father is truly in him and also say that the Father will be in us as well ?
 
however that one may wish to define the Father,

if the Father is " a Spirit Holy " or just " an introduction "

Jesus introduces himself as

not speaking of " himself " : but speaking of the Father that dwells inside him

- Jesus tells us that when we look upon him and have seen him we have seen The Father and are looking upon the Father himself.

i am certainly glad we agree on this - The Father is a Spirit, Holy, and the Father dwelleth in you and I.
