No it is not. A joule is energy which is the product of both force and distance. It requires movement. A force alone does not provide energy. ie 1 J could be produced by a force of 1N moving something 1m. But also by 0.5 N moving 2 m . W ( energy) = F * d

No, it is not correct to say that ANY amount of energy is equal to a force.
If you don't understand that energy and force are different things, then you don't understand basic physics.

BY work energy relation:
=>W = ∆E OR
=>E = ∆W
=>E = F x ∆s
=>If 1 N Force displaces an object by 1 m, then the required energy is 1 Jule.
Further by dimensions it can be ascertained:
If 1 Jule = 1 Newton
=> Newton-meter = Newton
=> [MLT^-2] - [L] = [MLT^-2]
=>[ML^2T^-2] = [MLT^-2]
As L.H.S. ≠ R. H. S.
=> 1 Jule ≠ 1 Newton
