Is Jesus the same person as the father?

I think he's the Son and the Father is the Father.. but I think they are both God, when you think of it like - in the animal or plant kingdom there are many, but in the God kingdom, there is two.. The bible says the Son is the "firstborn of all creation", and all else was created through and with him.. so that He is always closest to the Father and is of the same essence and substance.. we may be "made in God's image, in that we are able to think and rationalize (and after Eden, like them in being able to choose) but we are still different.. Therefore I think they are One, and they are also Two.. and I can't understand it when someone says they are only One, or, they are only Two. :))
