I know of no trinitarian teaching that calls Jesus “God the Father”, God the Son? Yes, but never “God the Father”. Thus this verse cannot be called upon for support to the trinity doctrine.

Why would Jesus be called a “Father”/ Because he was a life giver as he said his Father had life in Himself he had granted Jesus to have life in himself. (John 5:21,26)

The words you cite are Hebrew not Greek.

I simply gave you the Greek words used in the text. As I indicated the Hebrew word used for identification of Jesus is the exact word used to identify the Father. (Yeah I realized when you mentioned it that I had mistyped Greek instead of Hebrew – habits die hard I quess)

>>Why would Jesus be called a “Father”<<

Are they not one God?

>>Because he was a life giver as he said his Father had life in Himself he had granted Jesus to have life in himself. (John 5:21,26)<<

Jesus was both fully man and fully God. All to often people don’t differentiate between the two functions.
