In what Scriptures is Christ said to be equal to his heavenly Father,

Sigh... John 10:30 30 I and the Father are one.”, John 5:18 18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

Jesus Christ was not a creature, He was not a created being

Do you believe that Jesus Christ was a created being, not God?

In John 10: 30 Jesus says, “I and the Father are one”, “one” in what sense? Jesus explains that it is unity in thought and purpose at John 17:11, he prays that his followers be one with him in same fashion as he is one with “the Father”.

So when at John 10:30 Jesus used the the term “are one” he was speaking of being one in purpose. (John 10:38)

You quote John 5:18, “John 5:18 18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.”

But it was Jesus’ ENEMIES that equated calling “God his own father” with “making himself equal with God”.
Just as at John 10:31-39, when Jesus’ enemies wanted to stone him for their false accusations.

I believe what can be clearly demonstrated to be a teaching of the Scriptures. If you assert,

“Jesus Christ was not a creature, He was not a created being”,
Then show me from the Scriptures.
