1 | Father greater than Jesus | John 14:28 | Morant61 | 130769 | ||
Greetings Babbler! Thanks for the response my friend! Allow me to briefly touch upon the 'unity of nature' question. If Jesus were simply saying in John 10:30 that He and the Father were one in purpose, why would the Jews respond by wanting to stone Him? To me, it is obvious that Jesus was making more than a claim to common goals and that His claim was so shocking that the crowd wanted to kill Him for it. What was the claim? I believe that it included a 'unity of nature' with God the Father. As far as John 8:17 goes, there is nothing in the text excluding the Holy Spirit. Jesus is simply making the point that two witnesses are considered valid. He does not say that there can't be three witnesses. :-) Finally, I don't consider the Holy Spirit an 'it'. I have posted before on what Scripture has to say about the Holy Spirit if you would care to search for those posts. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

At 10:33, the interlinear reading of The Emphatic Diaglott says “a god” rather than "God." Support for the rendering “a god” is found principally in Jesus’ own answer, in which he quoted from Psalm 82:1-7. As can be seen, this text did not refer to persons as being called “God,” but “gods” and “sons of the Most High.” This argument would carry little weight if Jesus had to defend against calling himself God. John 5:18 says they claimed Jesus was "making himself equal to God," still never saying that he claimed to be God. The conclusions must be drawn, not from what the sons of the Devil say, but what the Son of God says. I will research your previous posts on the Holy Spirit for future interactions. Thanks. |
