Imagine being able to clone yourself. One of you could be at work while another you could be with the kids, so on and so forth. God the father is overseeing everything past present and future and is listening to all the prayers while Jesus came down to earth, he focused on one thing at a time and gave every aspect the time and attention necessary.
Jesus was God in the flesh but while this was going on there still was a spiritual God in heaven as well. The Holy Ghost is God as well, just in another form performing a different function. Imagine being able to be several places at the same time only God is everywhere all the time.

This was the best example I could think of to explain the trinity. I never implied that God cloned himself. For me to answer your question, I would have to actually see a real clone first.

to madhatter85,,,hi,just a few comments on the initial questions in the post.You state that god dispenses justice,and Christ dispenses mercy,god is eternally bound by this ? Tell me is God BOUND???,by anything?.I don't think so,It wld be illogical to think the almighty was not almighty ,but bound.God does not have a nature that operates from necessity,,he rather operates from perfect freedom,without consequence. Now the second problem,,jesus and god are one god but three divine personszx hence the mystery],what they do, they do together as one in operation. You can not separate their actions,so to say one distributs one virtue ,and the other distributes another [justice/mercy]then you have taken the one god [god is one] and given him two operations,now you have a multiplicty in god ,and that can not be. All is one in god....harley dav.

there are multiple occasions where Jesus had to ask the father for the strength to accomplish things. Also, his will was blatantly different in the garden of Gethsemane. This simple passage proves that they have conflicting wills at times. and that God has the final say.

Personally, I believe God is the author of all laws, including justice. He voluntarily follows His laws, since he created them. He would not create them, if they were not good. He follows them because He is good. God is "bound" to keep His promises to His children only because He voluntarily makes promises which He wants to keep. Is God "bound" to be good? He is good, not because He's bound, but because that's what He is. There's an LDS scripture that says "I the Lord am bound when ye do whay I say, but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise". God covenants with His children. When his children keep their end of the covenant, God keeps his end also. That is because God has perfect integrity.
