re: What religions believe Jesus and God are the same being?

According to Catholicism there is one God but three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, which make up the Trinity which is God. With this view Jesus is himself God, both wholly divine and wholly human. In a way of thinking this is sort of saying that Jesus and God are the same thing, although Jesus isn't the entirety of God.
At least this is what I was taught at Catholic school. Correct me if there's some misunderstanding here.

Most mainstream Christian denominations and belief systems do.
Mormonism, Jehovah's Witness, and other assorted cults, as most Christian denominations would refer to them, don't.
It gets more confusing if you look at certain ancient Hebrew texts. At different points in Hebrew history they believed in a group of communal God's, who were all one, but also individually more than 3. I think 12 is the largest number I've heard used.

I liked it better when the Holy Spirit was the Holy Ghost. No 2nd grader is fricking with a ghost. It helped reinforce the message.

It's even funnier when you type it out

Really hard to explain this to a teenager when he asks then why was Jesus asking for God's help? Why didn't he just free himself if he was God and not ask? He says his Catholic priests tell him it is too difficult for the human brain to understand.

Why can't it be kept simple that there is God and just that Jesus is the son of God? Is there a reason it needs to be that convoluted?
