Jhn 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:


Your arguement that because Jesus said that he and God were one means that they are the same doesn't hold water when one looks at the scripture.

If Jesus and God were one and the same and part of a trinity, they where do the disciples fit in? Jesus prayed that they would be one just as God and Jesus were one.

COULD IT BE....that Jesus and God were one in purpose? And that the disciples would be one in purpose?

Married couples are considered 'one' yet they are obviously not the same being.

You guys are pretty good at playing 20 Questions with me but are very short on answers to the questions I pose to you.

If Jesus was, as you seem to contend, walking with Adam, how to you explain that the 'gennesis' of Jesus is described in Matthew 1:18? Genesis...birth...beginning...Matthew 1:18.

When Jesus tells his followers that the works that he did they would do also AND GREATER...how do you explain that if Jesus is God that he promised his believers that they would perform works greater than God?
