There is not a single verse where Jesus explicitly says he is equal to the Father. As a matter of fact, Jesus explicitly says the Father is greater than him.

The Father explicitly says He alone is God and there is no other besides Him.

Let me just take from John alone

1. **John 10:30**  
*"I and the Father are one."*  
(This verse explicitly states Jesus’ unity and equality with the Father.)

2. **John 5:18**  
*"For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God."*  
(This verse shows that Jesus’ claim to be the Son of God was understood as a claim to equality with God.)

3. **John 8:58**  
*"Very truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"*  
(Here, Jesus uses the divine name "I am," affirming His eternal existence and divine nature.)

4. **John 14:9**  
*"Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father."*  
(This indicates His divine nature and His unity with the Father.)

I am not a follower of Jesus, ergo, I am not a Christian. 

You call yourself a Christian but you don't actually follow the teachings of Jesus. I have demonstrated that many times already.

Broadly speaking, believing in Jesus Christ and the Father he worshiped is a central tenet of Christianity, and therefore, someone who holds those beliefs would be considered a Christian. 

Alhamdulilah!

[Ali Imran]

1. **John 10:30**  
*"I and the Father are one."*  
(This verse explicitly states Jesus’ unity and equality with the Father.)

The disciples will also be one with Jesus and the Father. 

Are they all equal to the Father too?

[pinkpanther]

The Father explicitly says He alone is God and there is no other besides Him.

Any more earth worms? You only have 2 so far?
You are using the old bait 

[pinkpanther]

The disciples will also be one with Jesus and the Father. 

Are they all equal to the Father too?

The disciples' unity is a unity of faith, love, and purpose with God, not a shared divine nature...

[Ali Imran]

2. **John 5:18**  
*"For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God."*  
(This verse shows that Jesus’ claim to be the Son of God was understood as a claim to equality with God.)

So you want to take the assertion of the Pharisees to support your claim that Jesus was claiming equality with God? 

Will you take the other assertion of the Pharisees about Jesus as truth? Like when they said Jesus was insane?

[Ali Imran]

The disciples' unity is a unity of faith, love, and purpose with God, not a shared divine nature...

Did Jesus specify that?

[pinkpanther]

So you want to take the assertion of the Pharisees to support your claim that Jesus was claiming equality with God? 

Will you take the other assertion of the Pharisees about Jesus as truth? Like when they said Jesus was insane?

Which verses are you referring?  There are still plenty of verses where Jesus claim equality with God....are you going to destroy everyone of them?

[Ali Imran]

3. **John 8:58**  
*"Very truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"*  
(Here, Jesus uses the divine name "I am," affirming His eternal existence and divine nature.)

So you believe God's name is I AM, and therefore Jesus was saying, "Before Abraham was born, God"? Does that statement makes sense to you?

[Ali Imran]

Which verses are you referring?  There are still plenty of verses where Jesus claim equality with God....are you going to destroy everyone of them?

Yes, every one that you bring to the table can mean something else. It is called "ambiguity".

But when Jesus said, "The Father is greater than I", that is explicit.

[pinkpanther]

Did Jesus specify that?

This is common sense ...Jesus is sinless 
The disciples are not without sins..so how can we compare them to the divine nature of the triune god

[Ali Imran]

4. **John 14:9**  
*"Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father."*  
(This indicates His divine nature and His unity with the Father.)

Do you believe the Father looks like Jesus, with long hair, a beard, like that?

I am not a follower of Jesus, ergo, I am not a Christian. 

You call yourself a Christian but you don't actually follow the teachings of Jesus. I have demonstrated that many times already.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So which god u worship ? since u reject Jesus as the way to the Father
Want to short cut but climbing in thru the window?
thieves do that 
They come steal,kill n destroy Lol

[pinkpanther]

Yes, every one that you bring to the table can mean something else. It is called "ambiguity".

But when Jesus said, "The Father is greater than I", that is explicit.

There is limitations that Jesus in the flesh can do... obviously the Father who is spiritual is greater than Him

[Ali Imran]

This is common sense ...Jesus is sinless 
The disciples are not without sins..so how can we compare them to the divine nature of the triune god

So no, Jesus didn't say what you said about the disciples being one with him and the Father. Using your common sense is not good enough.

[pinkpanther]

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So which god u worship ? since u reject Jesus as the way to the Father
Want to short cut but climbing in thru the window?
thieves do that 
They come steal,kill n destroy Lol

Our friend can be considered a christian....he is almost there 

[Ali Imran]

There is limitations that Jesus in the flesh can do... obviously the Father who is spiritual is greater than Him

Is the flesh also God?

[Ali Imran]

No, I don't reject Jesus as the way to God for the people he was sent for.

[cheekopekman]

Is the flesh also God?

Jesus said, "God is a spirit" lah!

[pinkpanther]

So no, Jesus didn't say what you said about the disciples being one with him and the Father. Using your common sense is not good enough.

You don't know the Bible well...it's important to read everything in context and avoid picking and choosing. You're almost there....full-fledged Christianity awaits you.

[Lukongsimi]

Our friend can be considered a christian....he is almost there 

unless he follows Christ but he follow muh 
lol

[pinkpanther]

Is the flesh also God?

Jesus in flesh is fully human also lah

[Lukongsimi]

You don't know the Bible well...it's important to read everything in context and avoid picking and choosing. You're almost there....full-fledged Christianity awaits you.

We have been teaching him but he is a ignoramus

[pinkpanther]

unless he follows Christ but he follow muh 
lol

He believes in Christ and He prays to God the Father...
So he is considered a christian..

[Ali Imran]

Jesus in flesh is fully human also lah

Didn't it say in your Bible that God became flesh?

[pinkpanther]

We have been teaching him but he is a ignoramus

 you use his word "ignoramus" to pay him back

[Ali Imran]

You don't know the Bible well...it's important to read everything in context and avoid picking and choosing. You're almost there....full-fledged Christianity awaits you.

I know Paul was quoting the scriptures and you didn't know that.

[pinkpanther]

Didn't it say in your Bible that God became flesh?

Yes .he needs to eat and sleep..there is limitations..the Father does not need to eat and sleep..so obviously the Father is greater than Him

[pinkpanther]

I know Paul was quoting the scriptures and you didn't know that.

Paul likes to quote everyone...it is no surprise..I'm glad you know so much about Paul..

[Lukongsimi]

No, I don't reject Jesus as the way to God for the people he was sent for.

U don’t reject but nor u want to follow Jesus 
like the bus is waiting for u 
U said u don’t reject taking the bus but don’t wish to take ?
