Actually, while your statement is true, that is the same as saying "The red crayon is the green crayon. You can't get more crayon than that."

Jesus is God, but Jesus is not the Father. I am an American, but I am not Ohio (who is also American).

The problem is that Lee violates one of the foundational errors of logic. The parts of a set are not each the other parts of the set. Neither is the set simply one of the parts.

That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; Neither confounding the Persons; nor dividing the Essence.
This is the theological construct that Lee sets out to violate. The Trinity is a unity, but that does not confound the persons such that the Son is the Father or the Spirit. But as God they are a single, unified One.
