LITTLE ANALYSIS. Firstly, going by the statement, Jesus Christ said; in/by my Fathers name/authority, showing that Son is NOT Father. Also, he said; My Father, who has given them to me..., showing again that he is NOT the same as the Father. The Father/God is greater than all including Jesus Christ as according to John 14:28 saying; ...you would be glad that I am going to the Father/God; for he is greater than I(Jesus). However, if Jesus and God are just ONE being, then who is he going to again, himself!?? Still on this, when Philip asked Jesus to show them the Father that they all need, and from the response of Jesus Christ, he did not say; I am the Father, but rather, he said; ...he who has seen me as seen the Father,..I am *in the Father and the Father is *in me and he said; the words that I have spoken to you, do not come from me. The Father who remains in me, does his own work.-John 14:8-10. Note: above the verse, the knowing of God, Jesus Christ was talking about simply means the teachings that he brought i.e the work of salvation that God sent him. However, Jesus is Not the Father(God) but the Father was in him, because the spirit of the Father abides in him and is working with him. Also, Jesus spirit and faith is in God, that means he and God(Father) are ONE in spirit/work/essence which is according to purpose of bringing people to God like the other prophets and NOT in being. Moreover, about the statement; you are gods. This word gods may refer to be the people of God or refering to be the spirits of God. Or gods- the people to whom Gods message was given. However, going by the interpretation of the word gods as was used could also relate to the *past messengers of God(Father). So, therefore, if the past messengers were referred to as gods, that means, Jesus too could be considered as a god i.e a messenger or spirit of God whom Gods message was given. NOTE: still on verse 36; Jesus rather claimed to be a son of God for he said; How, then, can you say that I blaspheme because I said that I am the Son of God? Nevertheless, Jesus Christ claimed that being the son of God means doing the work od God or been sent by God, which altogether proves that his been in God and God in him, is through doing the work God has sent him to do. And this is the spirit of God or the essence of God for God for God and Jesus to be one and Jesus is Not God. In the story of conversion of Paul, Act 26:12-18, as Jesus was no more a man or human again in this form, he did not still proclaim that he was God. From Act 26:18 as it reads; You are to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to the light and from the power of Satan to *God, so that through their faith in me they will have their sins forgiven and receive their place amaong Gods chosen people. From this verse, as Jesus was not human being again or among people, he still did not say from the power of Satan to *Me God but said from the power of Satan to God. Also he said among Gods chosen people and did not say among *My chosen people. All the misconceptions we are facing concerning the Bible and Christinity, is because of the twisting and wrong interpretations or lack of judgement or adequate divine wisdom of Pastors or the so called theologians.
