What an ignorant lie!
Jesus said plainly “I and the Father are ONE.”
And, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.”
yes..he was one with the Father...not literally! Daaaa! Good lord you guys are so caught up in the apostasy because you just will not accept that we can live sinless, just as Jesus told Mary to go and sin no more and John said if we continue to sin yet say we love God we are liars. You guys need to see Jesus as God to have one BIG excuse for sinning. After all, if you cannot do as only God was able to do, you are Ok! wow, you guys demean and miss the power of what Jesus came to do and shame on all of you! : )
