MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS FINALLY AGREED WITH MY EXPLANATION ABOUT JOHN 10:30
EXPLANATION ABOUT JOHN 10:30
In John 10:30, Jesus is reported to have said: I and the father are one"
This verse is normally quoted by the Christians to show that Jesus Christ is God, can a son (Jesus) be the same essence and age with his father (God)?
In John 17:21-23, Jesus showed what he meant by his being "one" with the father, He said "That they (disciples) may all be one even as thou, Father is in me and I in them that they also may be one in us, so that the world may believe that God sent me, the glory which God has given me, have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and them in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that God has sent me and has love them as God has loved me" (see also John 14:20)
The question is, If the oneness of Jesus with God in John 10:30 makes Jesus Christ God, then the oneness of God, Jesus and disciples would have made the disciples as Gods also, the Christian should understand that the oneness with God that Jesus Christ was talking about in John 10:30 was just oneness in love and purpose, and not in essence or knowledge
Mathew 10:40 testified to that: Jesus said: "He who receives you (disciples) receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me" this shows that Jesus, his disciples and God are only one in purpose, it does not mean that they are Gods
THE ONENESS OF PAUL AND APOLLO IN CORINTHIANS 3:6 AND 8
Corinthians 3:6 and 8 also testified to it, Paul said, I planted, Apollos watered but God gave the growth, so neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth, He who plants and he who waters are One"
Comments:- the oneness of Paul and Apollos in Corinthians 3:6-8 was not in age and knowledge but only in purpose, in the same way, the oneness of Jesus Christ with God in John 10:30 is not in essence or knowledge but in purpose only, this is because God sent Jesus for the salvation of his people and it was for that purpose that Jesus came, and Jesus chooses the 12 Disciples inorder to fulfill God's purpose, therefore, they are all one in that sense
THE ONESNES OF WIFE AND HUSBAND IN GENESIS 2:24
Genesis 2:24, "Therefore, a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one"
Comments:- Does this oneness of the husband and the wife signify their equality in age, knowledge and s*x, why then must one believe Jesus to be God because of his claims of oneness with God in John 10:30?
WHO IS GREATER; THE FATHER OR THE SON?
John 14:28: Jesus said, "You heard me say to you, I go away and I will come to u, if u love me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the father; for the father is greater than I"
Comments:- If the father is greater than the son, how then are they one?, if the father and the son are one, why did the son denied knowing what the father knows in Mark 13:32?, if the father and the son are one, did the father also die with the son on the cross?
The oneness of God and Jesus in John 10:30 is only in purpose and the main purpose is the message God sent Jesus to the people of Israel to deliver His word to them, both God and Jesus are one in that purpose but they are clearly not one in term of knowledge, essence, God-ship and others, Therefore, using John 10:30 to claim Jesus God-ship is a big biblical blunder and error
