At Proverbs 2, it says concerning looking into God's Word, the Bible: "If you call out for understanding and raise your voice for discernment; If you keep seeking for it as for silver, and you keep searching for it as for hidden treasures; Then.....you will find the very knowledge of God......When wisdom enters your heart and knowledge becomes pleasant to your soul, thinking ability will keep watch over you".(Prov 2:3-5, 10,11)
Therefore, "thinking ability" or the capability to use logic, to reason out what is true and what is a falsehood, "will keep watch over you". The apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians concerning ' readjusting the holy ones views ', "until we all attain to the oneness of the faith and of the accurate knowledge of the Son of God, to being a full-grown man......so that we should no longer be children, tossed about about as by waves and carried here and there by every wind of teaching, by means of the trickery of men, by means of cunning in deceptive schemes".(Eph 4:12-14)
Hence, what is required in order to extract Bible truth, accurate knowledge ? Sincere humility, not trying to "force a square peg in a round hole". So when Jesus said that "I and my Father are one" at John 10:30, did he mean that they are literally one ?
Those who are sincerely humble will consider Jesus words at at John 17:1, 11: "Father.....I am no longer in the world (those alienated from God), but they (his disciples) are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, watch over them on account of your name.......so that they may be one just as we are one".(see also John 17:22) Now what was Jesus saying when he said "so that they may be one just as we are one" ?
That his genuine disciples are literally one or that they are to be in unity as one ? Those who are sincere and not trying to "force a square peg in a round hole", those who use "thinking ability", will recognize that Jesus was speaking of being unified as "one" in purpose, honoring our Maker, Jehovah God, just as the word "one flesh" with regard to a husband and wife does not literally mean they become one flesh, but that they work together so harmoniously that they are considered as "one flesh", like a single individual instead of two.(Gen 2:24; Matt 19:5)
And of where Jesus said that "whoever has seen me has seen the Father also" at John 14:9, does it mean that Jesus is the same as the Father ? Jesus told the Jews: "And the Father who sent me has borne witness about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form, and you do not have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the very one whom he sent".(John 5:37, 38) Jesus establishes that he was sent by the Father, and is not the Father.
Thus, the Father has never been seen nor heard by any imperfect man. That is why Jesus said to the Samaritan woman, that "true worshippers will worship the Father (and not the Son)....God is (not of flesh and blood, but) a Spirit".(John 4:23, 24) The apostle John wrote that "no man has seen God at any time".(1 John 4:12)
Paul wrote that Jesus is "the reflection of God's glory and the exact representation of his very being" (Heb 1:3), hating exactly what God hates and loves what God loves, also being called the "image of God" at Colossians 1:15. Hence Paul notes that Jesus has "sat down at the right hand of the Majesty (Jehovah God) on high. So he has become better than angels to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs".(Heb 1:4) How can Jesus be God and yet sit down at God's right hand (see Ps 110:1), and ' inherit a name better the angels', since there is no name higher than God's ?
Paul wrote to the Philippians that because Jesus "became obedient to the point of death, yes, death on a torture stake (that) for this very reason, God exalted him to a superior position (see Dan 7:13, 14 and Matt 28:18) and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name".(Phil 2: 8, 9)
How could Jesus be God, and yet be "exalted to a superior position", since there is no position higher than God and given a "name that is above every other name" ? This is where humility comes into play, where a person who is sincere allows "thinking ability" to do its job well, realizing that Jesus is inferior to the Father, God (see John 14:28), and was "exalted to a superior position", in which "he is at God's right hand....and angels and authorities and powers were made subject to him".(1 Pet 3:22) This cannot be anymore clear for sincere, reasonable people.
Yet, the argument of God, Jesus and the holy spirit as part of a Trinity will continue in for just a little longer until Babylon the Great, the collective body of the religions of the "world" is dispensed with by the political "scarlet-colored wild beast", the United Nations along with the "ten horns" or all the political governments on earth at God's command.(Rev 17:16, 17)
