Bible Question:
I don't think he lied. But why go to the extreme of him LYING or him claiming to be GOD? There's no middle option? But you forget that in John 17:11 Jesus says: John 17:11 "I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are. Now he says "that THEY may be one EVEN as we are" So, either he is lying or maybe we should all be worshipping each other as God --- just like he is One with God,all of us should be One with God (in his words we should be one with God in the SAME WAY he is one with God, not figuratively correct?) Also dont forget John 17:22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one Again he claims that we can be one with God just like he is.. Are you sure he is implying we can be divine (part of the trinity/son of God) as he is? I think that he did not mean "I am one with God" literally, but he meant one with God in Purpose, not substance. The discliples could not become One With God like he was, but they can be one in purpose, just as Jesus and the Father are one in Purpose. |
Bible Answer: Isa- Don't go far ahead in John 17. If you stop at John 17:5 you will see He was with God the Father from the beginning, before the world. I think that puts Him in the "God" category. In John 17:22 He is talking about His followers, then and now having spiritual unity. When Jesus is accepted as Lord and Saviour, we are born into the family of God. Even we in the forum have different viewpoints on ways of worship, but we love each other as brothers and sisters in Christ because we have His Spirit. |
