What I perceive is, that you do not know, or understand the difference in Jesus, and Christ.
Christ is not the last name of Jesus, Christ is an epithet of Jesus, it was Jesus The Christ, The anointed of God. Jesus was the son of Man, Christ is the Son of God. We are children of God by virtue of Christ in us, John one KJV To as many as have received Him gave He power to become the Sons of God, even to those that believe on His Name.
God was in Christ Reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them. (paraphrased) Using CHRIST as an epithet for Jesus.
Lets look at Eph.1, (my bible wont come up, so I will quote it the best I can.) I think around Verse. 16, or 17, Qt. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory would give unto you the Spirit of wisdom, and revelation of the knowledge of Him, that the eyes of your understanding would be enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ, (an epithet of Jesus) when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in heavenly places. Far above all principality, and power, and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come, and hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to head over all things to the Church, which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all. (emphasis mine)
Who is He talking about in John 1? In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men....14th. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth.
Who is He talking about here?
I found this pretty interesting, In Heb. 1: God at sundry times and in diverse manners, spake in times past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, who He has appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds. Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. Being made so much better than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Now go back to John 1: again, In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. God is speaking to us today through His Word, the Words of God, is Him speaking to us. (Not by the prophets) but by His Word, the same as Christ.

I just happened to remember, Mat.11:25, When Jesus said Qt. I thank thee oh Father Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and revealed them unto babes. Even so Father so it seems good in thy sight, ALL THINGS ARE DELIVERED UNTO ME OF MY FATHER, AND NO MAN KNOWETH THE SON BUT THE FATHER, NEITHER KNOWETH ANY MAN THE FATHER SAVE THE SON, AND TO WHOMSOEVER THE SON WILL REVEAL HIM....

I and the Father are one.” John 10:30
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Matt 1:23
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Is 9:6
“You are My witnesses,” says the Lord,
“And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and believe Me,
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
Nor shall there be after Me. Is 43:10
Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
And without controversy great is the [a]mystery of godliness:
God[b] was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory. 1 Ti 3:16
