I and my Father are one. – John 10:30
Believe me that I am in the Father and the
Father in me… -John 14:11
According
to the above verses of spoken by Jesus the argument of the so many preachers is
that because of Jesus had said that “I and my Father are one” Jesus is nothing
but Jehovah. Jehovah had born in the form of Jesus that is why Jesus has
exhorted as above! Those that imagine so, should think over one important point
that why did not the Apostle never ever had imagined Jesus as “God” hearing
directly the words spoken by Jesus as above. Because the present day preachers
imagine and decide themselves mere reading the above statements that Jesus is
God himself or God and Jesus are one in divinity. Thinking in this way is
correct then Apostle of Jesus should have also presumed so and propagated “Jesus
is equal to Jehovah” of “Jesus is God himself” as advocated by the present day
preachers.
In this
regard let us cast our glance over the below verses spoken by Jesus.
DID
JEHOVAH AND JESUS ARE ONE IN DIVINITY? OR PHISICALLY AS PROPAGATED BY THE
PREACHERS?
Now I
am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy
Father, keep through your name those whom you have given me that THEY MAY BE
ONE AS WE ARE. – John 17:11
And the glory which you gave Me I have given
them, that THEY MAY BE ONE JUST AS WE ARE ONE. - John 17:22
At that
day you will know that I AM IN FATHER AND YOU IN ME, AND IN YOU. –
John14:20
I IN THEM AND YOU IN ME; that they may be
made perfect in one, and that the world may know that you have sent me, and
have loved them as you have loved Me. –
John17:23
Those
that argue Jehovah and Jesus are one in divinity according as to the
proclamation that “I and Father are one” they should once again observe the
above proclamations of Jesus in the above verses that “THEY MAY BE ONE AS WE ARE” “THEY (Apostles) MAY BE ONE JUST AS WE (Jehovah
and Jesus) ARE ONE” “I AM IN FATHER AND YOU IN ME, AND IN YOU” “I IN
THEM AND YOU IN ME” and should give the
answer what type of unity had Jesus possessed with Father.
If
anybody argues that Jesus is equal to God or Jehovah and Jesus are one as Jesus
said “I and Father are one” then they should agree that Apostle also united
together with the Father and Jesus and so, they are also equal share holders in
the Divinity of Father due to Jesus exhorted saying as “I AM IN FATHER AND YOU IN ME, AND IN YOU.”
As a
matter of fact what the main intention of Jesus in saying “I and Father are
one” is that- I and Father are one in the thinking but Jesus intention is not
that he and his Father are physically one or one in the divinity as imagined by
the present day church.
WE HAVE
ALSO THE CHANCE TO UNITE OURSELVES WITH THE FATHER?
Now he who keeps His commandments abides in
Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit
whom He has given us. – 1 John 3:24
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of
God, God abides in him, and he in God. – 1 John 4:15
And we have known and believed the love that
God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God and God in
him. – John 14:16
On
careful examination of the above verses it is made clear that not only Jesus
but we also can be united with Father by keeping the words of God means one who
keeps the commandments of God, one can abide in God and He in him.
