this is spoken, then one will realise that
God, Jesus and the
disciples are one in purpose
. i.e. to save humanity from the
darkness of disbelief, idol worship and of enslavement to
human beings. Suppose that I am a medical doctor, and my
father and my grandfather are medical doctors, and I say, “We
are all one”. Anyone who reads or hears this in its proper context
will realise that “
in profession we are one,
” not that we are
joined in one unit of creation. Each one is a separate entity and
therefore we are three separate persons.
C.
But Jesus is God according to
John 14:9
: “... he that hath seen
me hath seen the Father.”
M
. See to the context again. What is before and after this: (
John
14:8
): “Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it
sufficeth us.” (
John 14:9):
“Jesus saith unto him, I have been so
long a time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
He that hath seen me hast seen the Father; and how sayest thou
then, shew us the Father?”
Jesus explained to Philip. You should believe in God by
admiring His creation: the sun, the moon, themselves and all the
other beautiful creation of God, and Jesus himself who was
created by God. Jesus said (
John 4:24):
“God is a Spirit. (
John
5:37):
“ . . . ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen
His shape.” So how can you see a spirit then?
What they saw
was Jesus and not God
. Also Paul said (
I Timothy 6:16
):
“...
whom no man hath seen, nor can see
. . .”
So what you can see
with your eyes can never be God.
C.
But Thomas said “my God and my Lord”.

Again
read the context.
It is an exclamation of surprise and
shock
! Suppose while talking to you, someone informed me that
