[21]For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will. [22] For neither doth the Father judge any man, but hath given all judgment to the Son. [23] That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father, who hath sent him. [24] Amen, amen I say unto you, that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath life everlasting; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life. [25] Amen, amen I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live. John; Chapter 5
The denial continues......
What part of this Gospel do you reject?
I reject no part of that Gospel, naturally, but it never suggests that there is a multitude of "Gods" or "Fathers" of which the Jews worship the wrong one. The question is not that of who honours the Father more or correctly, but rather of whether one worships the one true God or not. I am not arguing that worship of God which rejects the Son is somehow worthy or proper. Nothing of the kind. I am saying that this whole debate which comes up periodically of whether the Jews worship the same God as us is strange. Of course they do. The fact that they do not know him as we do does not mean that they have somehow switched their worship to a different God. They are just wrong about him. It is enough to say so without overstating the case and trying to say that they have invented a new God to worship.
