What do you think of the idea that Whenever Christ prayed to his heavenly father (Almighty GOD ) that the God PART of him quickly left him ?

And returned back to the heavenly realm,  But then went back into CHRIST (or Messiah if you prefer ) STRAIGHT after he had finished PRAYING to his GOD.

    That would a heretical idea and a false teaching.

    Jesus is fully man and fully God.  He never ceased being God.

    Sounds like stuff and nonsense.

    More precisely: it sounds like someone made up a new, imaginative doctrine

    - with no basis

    - and for no reason

    Well, it's not mainstream (orthodox) Christology. The idea that the God part of him was somehow an added-on attribute, capable of leaving him, sails pretty close to some notions that have been formally declared heretical, including the branch of Gnostic philosophy that tried to co-opt Christianity. 

      

    The mainstream view is that while God is one divine Being, that Being is capable of expressing itself as multiple divine Persons. That's founded on the observation that a one-person-per-being rule, as we usually think of it, is based on our acquaintance with other human beings, and a purely human limit needn't apply to God. 

     

    That's also consistent with the way Jesus talked about his relationship with the Father. He was clear it was a relationship. 

     

    But while I can definitely call your idea unorthodox, I'm not particularly enthused by the historical practice of picking fights with people over different theologies. So if you choose to believe it, that's okay with me. I just choose not to do so.

    Dumb idea.  

    God the Son spoke to God the Father.  No losses on either side.

    Its a great story, right up there with many other myths such as Goldilocks and the story of Romulus and Remus.

    The Father NEVER left Jesus except  in one instance that the sins of the world were poured out on Him.  Only at that time did the Father forsake the Son or the man part of Him thought the Father did.  Jesus was both fully man and fully God.  Since the Creation of the World, Jesus knew His part and He knew the Father's part and He knew the Holy Spirit's part.  The only way man in human flesh will see God is to see Jesus.  God is Spirit and consuming fire.  The Lord in the Old Testament was Jesus walking the earth as God.  Jacob wrestled with Jesus.  Jesus prayed to the Father in the sight of men so the men could understand how to pray to the Father in His name.

    Jesus said we could ask anything in His name.  Jesus is our Redeemer God who walked among us over 2000 years ago.

    I think it's mistaken.  Jesus Christ claims to be Jehovah incarnate, the creation and begotten son of God (who is Elohim).

    I think you are trying to mix apples (possible) with oranges (impossible).

    When it comes to the concept of the Trinity, you're simply going to have to accept that God can do the impossible and we can't (Mt 19:26).

    John the apostle did the best he could to try to explain how the Trinity works, noting that Jesus was simultaneously both "with God" and "God".

    Jn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

    That's impossible for us to do, but not for God.  God needed a perfect human being to show us all the perfect Father-child relationship he wants with each of us, and to become a sacrifice for mankind's sins.  Of course there are no perfect human beings, so besides being the perfect father, the one true God had to do that job too.

    When you can find someone who can explain the impossible, you'll get the answers you seek about the Trinity.
