Proofs Jesus is not the Father (V) :

61. Jesus said, I am not alone or the only witness of My sonship. The Father is another witness

John 5:36-38

But I have a greater witness than Johns; forthe works which the Father has given Me to finishthe very works that I dobear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. And the FatherHimself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen

His form. But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do notbelieve.

John 8:13-19, 54

The Pharisees therefore said to Him, You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true.

Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for Iknow where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and

where I am going. You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. And yet if I do judge, My

judgment is true; forI am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. It is also written inyour law that the testimony of two men is true. I am One who bears witness of Myself, andtheFather who sent Me bears witness of Me. Then they said to Him, Where is Your Father?Jesus answered, You know neither Me nor My Father. If you hadknown Me, you would have

known My Father also.

Jesus answered, If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, ofwhom you say that He is your God.

John 12:49-50

For I have not spoken on My own authority; butthe Father who sent Me gave Me a command,what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life.

Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.

John 14:10-11

Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to youI do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me


2/7

thatI am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the worksthemselves.

62. Over 80 times Jesus affirmed that He was not the Father and not the only Person in the

Godhead. Christ was the speaker, but not the one spoken of or to

Matthew 7:21

Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he whodoes the will of My Father in heaven.

Matthew 11:27

All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, andno one knows the Son except theFather. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills toreveal Him.

Matthew 18:10, 35

Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven theirangels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven.

So My heavenly Father alsowill do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive hisbrother his trespasses.

Luke 2:49

AndHe (J esus Christ) said to them, Why did you seek Me? Did you not know thatI must beabout My Fathers business?

John 5:17-43

But Jesus answered them, My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, butalso said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God. Then Jesus answered and


3/7

said to them, Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what Hesees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. Forthe Fatherloves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greaterworks than these, that you may marvel. Foras the Father raises the dead and gives lifeto them, even so the Son gives lifeto whom He will. Forthe Father judges no one, buthas

committed all judgment to the Son, thatall should honor the Son just as they honor theFather. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Fatherwho sent Him. Mostassuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Mehas everlastinglife, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. Most assuredly, I say

to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; andthose who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son tohave life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is theSon of Man. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will

hear His voice and come forththose who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and thosewho have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I

judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the

Fatherwho sent Me. If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true. There is another whobears witness of Me, and I know thatthe witness which He witnesses of Me is true. You havesent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I

say these things that you may be saved. He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were

willing for a time to rejoice in his light. But I have a greater witness than Johns; forthe workswhich the Father has given Me to finishthe very works that I dobear witness of Me,that the Father has sent Me. Andthe Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. Youhave neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. But you do not have His wordabiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. You search the Scriptures, forin them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not

willing to come to Me that you may have life. I do not receive honor from men. But I know you,

that you do not have the love of God in you.I have come in My Fathers name, and you do notreceive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

John 8:19-49

Then they said to Him, Where is Your Father? Jesus answered,You know neither Me nor MyFather. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also. These words Jesusspoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour

had not yet come. Then Jesus said to them again, I am going away, and you will seek Me, and

will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come. So the Jews said, Will He kill Himself,

because He says,Where I go you cannot come? And He said to them,You are from beneath;I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you

will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He,you will die in your sins. Then theysaid to Him, Who are You?

And Jesus said to them, Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. I have manythings to say and to judge concerning you, butHe who sent Me is true; andI speak to the worldthose things which I heard from Him. They did not understand thatHe spoke to them of the


4/7

Father. Then Jesus said to them, When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that Iam He, and thatI do nothing of Myself; butas My Father taught Me, I speak these things. AndHe who sent Me is with Me.The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those thingsthat please Him. As He spoke these words, many believed in Him. Then Jesus said to thoseJews who believed Him, If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall

know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered Him, We are Abrahamsdescendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, You will be madefree? Jesus answered them,Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of

sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the

Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. I know that you are Abrahams descendants, butyou seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. I speak what I have seen with MyFather, and you do what you have seen with your father. They answered and said to Him,Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them,If you were Abrahams children, you would do

the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which Iheard from God. Abraham did not do this. You do the deeds of your father. Then they said toHim, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father God. Jesus said to them,If

God were your Father, you would love Me, forI proceeded forth and came from God; nor haveI come of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are notable to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you

want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because

there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liarand the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. Which of you convicts Me

of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you notbelieve Me? He who is of God hears Gods words;

therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God. Then the Jews answered and said toHim, Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon? Jesus answered,I

do not have a demon; butI honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

John 10:17-37

Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No onetakes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to

take it again.This command I have received from My Father. Therefore there was a divisionagain among the Jews because of these sayings. And many of them said, He has a demon and ismad. Why do you listen to Him? Others said, These are not the words of one who has a

demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? Now it was the Feast of Dedication in

Jerusalem, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomons porch. Then the

Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the

Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them,I told you, and you do not believe. The worksthat I do in My Fathers name, they bear witness of Me. But you do not believe, because you

are not of My sheep, as I said to you. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they followMe. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them

out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is ableto snatch them out of My Fathers hand. I and My Father are one. Then the Jews took upstones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, Many good works I have shown you fromMy Father. For which of those works do you stone Me? The Jews answered Him, saying, For


5/7

a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make

Yourself God. Jesus answered them,Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods? If

He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), do

you say ofHim whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, You are blaspheming,because I said, I am the Son of God? I f I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe

Me.

John 14:7-28

If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you knowHim and have seen Him. Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for

us. Jesus said to him,Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip?He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, Show us the Father? Do younot believe thatI am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I donot speak on My own authority; butthe Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me

thatI am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the worksthemselves. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do

also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you askin My name, that I will do, thatthe Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything inMy name, I will do it. If you love Me, keep My commandments. AndI will pray the Father, andHe will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you foreverthe Spirit of truth,whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him,

for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. Alittle while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you

will live also. At that day you will know thatI am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. Hewho has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. Andhe who loves Me will be

loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him. Judas (not Iscariot) said toHim, Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world? Jesus

answered and said to him, I f anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will lovehim, andWe will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me doesnot keep My words; andthe word which you hear is not Mine but the Fathers who sent Me .

These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit,

whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to yourremembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as

the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. You have

heard Me say to you, I am going away and comingbackto you. If you loved Me, you would

rejoice because I said, I am going to the Father, for My Father is greater than I.

John 15:1-26

I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bearfruit He takes away; andevery branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in


6/7

you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless

you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears

much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as

a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they areburned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall

be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be Mydisciples. As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep Mycommandments, you will abide in My love, just asI have kept My Fathers commandments andabide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you,and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I haveloved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down ones life for his friends. You are

My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant

does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, forall things that I heardfrom My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you andappointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, thatwhatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that

you love one another. Ifthe world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. Ifyou were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I

chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you,

A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If

they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for Mynames sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken tothem, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hatesMy Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would haveno sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. But this happened thatthe word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, They hated Me without a cause. But

when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth whoproceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

Revelation 1:1

The Revelation of J esus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servantsthings whichmust shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John.

Is it any wonder that the Godhead, the Trinity, and the unity of God are so mysterious when we

force separate Persons to become only one Person, all because we do not want to recognize thetrue meaning of the word one as referring to unity, not to individuality in some scriptures? Men

would be just as great a mystery if we forced the meaning of all men to refer to one Person.
