Does the Bible use Jesus and the Father Interchangeably?

Yes, The father and Jesus' name are used interchangeably because we know as saints, God’s name is Jesus Christ. There are so many scriptures where Jesus speaks in a dual nature using his manifestations as the Father and the Son.

In John chapter 5, Jesus talks about his Deity in the Spirit and how it relates to his manifested flesh on earth. The Jews wanted to kill Jesus because they understood the oneness of God as taught by their traditions and the prophets. They knew that if someone was speaking as Jesus spoke, he must think he is God because he is making himself equal with God. This is blasphemy in the Jewish tradition. Look at John 4:24-26, 42.

In these verses we see that Jesus is the Messiah, the fleshly body of God, called the Christ, who had been promised by God and the prophets in the Old Testament (I Corinthians 10:4). Therefore, we know that Jesus is both the Father and the Son (Isaiah 9:6) or simply God himself (Matthew 1:23). As I have mentioned, when you read God’s Word, it’s amazing to see how Jesus speaks as the Father and in the same verses He is speaking as the Son. Let's take a look at some examples of Jesus’ dual nature and how the Father and the Son are used interchangeably in the scriptures;

God The Father Jesus The Son

a. The Father draws all Men John 6:44 - Jesus draws all men John 12:32

b. The Father answers prayer John 15:16 - Jesus answers prayer John 14:14

c. The Father raised Jesus Galatians 1:1 - Jesus raised himself John 2:19-22

d. The Father gives-Comforter Joh.14:16 - Jesus sends-Comforter Joh.15:26,16:7

e. God raised the dead Romans 4:17,I Cor.6:14 - Jesus raised the dead John 6:40

“Jesus is the Father (God) and Son (Man)”
