Biblical literature and mathmatics both proclaim that God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ are 2 separate beings. When ever you put an "and" between 2 names, by literary definition it requires that there are 2 distinct people behind each name. Hence, when Paul is saying hello to the saints, he often opens his epistle by saying grace be with you from God the Father "and" from our Lord Jesus Christ. If they were the same being he would have used different literary verbiage, something like grace be unto you from God. Thats the Biblical literature part.
In mathmatics, when you use "and" it means to "add". For example: there is 1 apple on the table "and" 1 apple on the floor. How many total apples are there? The key word is "and". In mathmatics, the "and" requires you to "add" the 1 apple on the table with the 1 apple on the floor to get the right answer, which is 2 apples. If you were to "multiply" the 1 apple on the table with the 1 apple on the floor your answer would be 1 apple, which is the wrong answer. If you were to "divide" you would get 1, which is the wrong answer. If you were to subtract you would get 0, which is the wrong answer. That is the math part.
So when you read the beginning of the epistles, think about it again and believe in the Bible as it is written, because it does speaks the truth.

[h=3]1 Corinthians 15:24-28[/h]King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
[SUP]27 [/SUP]For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]The same was in the beginning with God.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
