[John 10:30]- I and my father are one. The christian use the above verse to support the notion of Jesus being God. They will say that this shows that Jesus and God are one and the same. What it actually means is that they are one in purpose, NOT one person or entity. Similar language is used in another part of the Bible: [John 17:30] - that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. Here Jesus is asking that his disciples be made one like him and the father. Note that the original Greek word used for ‘one’ is identical in both verses. Does this mean that the 13 disciples are one person? Of course not, its purely referring to them all being one in purpose! Moreover, when the Jews accused him of claiming divinity based on that statement, Jesus himself responded with: John 10:34] - “ Jesus answered them, ‘Is it not written in your law, “I said, Ye are gods?” He clarified for them, with a scriptural example well known to them, that he was using the metaphorical language of the prophets which should not be interpreted as ascribing divinity to himself or to other human beings. by Nihmathullah . dawah team ameer .
