They are attempting this because He claims to be God. Jesus answers that indeed it is written that "Ye are Gods"[Psalm 82:6] and scripture cannot be broken. He asks why they accuse him of blasphemy because he claims to be God's Son. [John 10:32-37]

Right --- He said that He was the SON of God. Did these Jews ever say: "What do you mean by the word 'Son' of God? God doesn't have a Son. There is only one person up there". No --- They never question him in regard to there being a Father and a Son.

As a matter of fact, even the parables that Jesus told indicate that the Jewish leaders understood that the Father and the Son were two separate persons. They had no problem with the concept. They just didn't like this Son that they had in front of them. He wasn't who they expected.

Jesus and the Father were ONE just like the apostles were ONE and Paul and Apollos were ONE. Just as the apostles were more than one person and Paul and Apollos were more than one person, so Jesus and his Father.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God

A couple questions:

How many time is the word for word (logos) translated directly as "Jesus"?

How many times is it correctly translated communicate?

What is the precise meaning for the word "with" (pros)?

(Pros means something different than para or meta)

How was the logos 'with' God in the beginning?
