  1. You know my husband and my son are the same too.

    If you took them into different rooms and asked them the same questions the answers would be almost identical. They walk the same, talk the same and think the same.

    When my daughter-in-law first saw my wedding photo's she laughed, just could not believe how much they even look alike.

    Yes, who ever has seen my son, has seen my husband also.

  2. Don't take it our of context...you will understand if you read the entire chapter.  It is showing the Trinity.

  3. This is one of the verses that leads us to the existence of the Holy Trinity. There is no difference between Jesus and God, except for the reason that Jesus came directly from God. God generated him, with all his powers. Jesus is the owner of this universe, since God entrusted it in his hands. We see God himself when we see Jesus. God dwells within him. When we pray to Jesus, we are praying to God himself. Jesus' human life was just for 33 years. He was there even before God creating the whole universe.

  4. No, Jesus did not mean that God is human.  He referred to His father in Heaven.  The reference is to the holiness.

    Later, He calls out on the cross, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?"  This shows that God and Christ are two separate beings.  When the Father left his Son on the Cross, it was for Jesus to make the ultimate sacrifice -- to be without God (which is h**l).  

    The second incidence also shows that when Christ spoke "He that has seen me has seen the Father also" he was not stating that they were one being.

    T.

  5. Ever since the incarnation of Jesus Christ ... Yes!

  6. In Saying this Jesus revealed his Father in yet another profound way. Jesus said: “He that has seen me has seen the Father also.” (John 14:9) and so Jesus perfectly imitated his Father in everything he said and did. So when we read in the Bible about Jesus—the powerful and winsome words that he used in his teaching, the compassion that moved him to heal others, and the empathy that caused him to give way to tears—we might well picture God or Jehovah or Yehwah whichever you prefer saying and doing those very things. (Matthew 7:28, 29; Mark 1:40-42; John 11:32-36) The ways and will of the Father are perfectly revealed in the words and actions of the Son. (John 5:19; 8:28; 12:49, 50) but that is far different from Jesus’ saying, ‘I am the Father.’ Jesus had just told Philip and the other faithful apostles that he was going away to God his Father; and so how could Jesus in the same breath say that Philip, when looking at Jesus, was looking at the Father? Jesus could not have meant that, for he dissociated God his Father from himself, just as when he said: “Ye believe in God, believe also in me.” (John 14:1, AV) Why the expression “also in me,” if Jesus were God himself? Philip asked Jesus: “Lord, shew us the Father,” and Jesus answered that that was what he had been doing all along, namely, showing them the Father. He had been explaining who his heavenly Father was. He had been showing them what his heavenly Father was like. He imitated his Father. He was like him, so much so that when one saw Jesus it was as if seeing his Father.

  7. Don't think so, most probably he means he is god.

  8. He meant, "The Father and I Are One". Those who see me see My Father as well. He laid self aside and allowed the Father to use Him As His Chosen Vessel.

  9. Jesus, the first born of all creation, the only begotten son lived in heaven for billions of years before coming to earth to fulfill prophecy.  He has his Father's qualities and exhibits those qualities.  While on earth he was loving, kind, just, merciful and wise.  He was a man like no other.  No one has seen God and lived.  Jehovah is not human, he is a spirit and lives in heaven.
