True Christianity

John 5:18,
"Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill
him, because he not only had broken the
sabbath, but said also that God was his
Father, making himself equal with God."

JOHN 5:16-27
When the Jewish authorities heard Jesus call
God "my (own) Father", they immediately
understood that Jesus claimed He was deity.
That claim was either blasphemy, to be
punished by death, or else Jesus was who He
claimed to be.

Jesus never associated Himself with His
disciples by using "our" Father.
He always used "my" Father, since
His relationship was unique and eternal,
whereas theirs was by grace and
regeneration.

Jesus said "I am from above" (John. 8:23);
"Before Abraham was, I AM" (John. 8:58);
"I and my Father are one" (John. 10:30);
"He that hath seen me hath seen the
Father" (John. 14:9);
and "I am not of the world" (John. 17:16).
He also told of His eternal pre-existence and
that He shared the Father's glory
(John.6:62; 17:5).

We can't just honor Jesus, but we have to
honor Him the same way we honor the
Father.
This is what separates true Christianity from
the religions of the world.
Most religions honor Jesus as a great man ,
but they are violently opposed to making
Jesus equal with Almighty God.
(1 John. 2:23)

The names and titles given to Jesus in John's
gospel clearly present Jesus as being equal
with God.
He is all we need Him to be.
