There is no other way to interpret this verse but that Jesus said he is God....
John 10:30-33 - Jesus answered them, “I and My Father are one.” Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?” The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God
How do you interpret this as Jesus being God when right after it showcases how Jesus differentiates.
It means Jesus and God are 'one' meaning, Jesus belongs to God, Jesus is doing God's work, Jesus and God's purpose is one in the same. Reaffirming this he further goes onto say how he showed 'the good works' he has done through God.
Furthermore you forget the verse that comes right after, which is an interesting point, as we already mentioned to you in the OT 'sons of God', "son of God', "children of God" were mentioned in the OT:
[30] I and the Father are one."
[31] The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
[32] Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of these do you stone me?"
[33] The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we stone you but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God."
[34] Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, `I said, you are gods'?
I said, Ye are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High. Psalm 82:6If anything this just shows Jewish and Christian scripture has become unreliable and Christians are able to form their own beliefs anyway they see fit.
The use of 'son of god', 'sons of god', 'children of god' was always understood in the metaphoric sense by Jews not literal. It is pauline christianity that turned it literal.
The thing is, the NT contradicts itself, so who to trust? If we compare it to the OT it completely contradicts earlier teachers. And as the OT says:
God is not a man, that he should lie; Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Numbers 23:19It is also well documented that Paul and whoever the 'authors' of the NT books were, copied and altered even statements from the OT in their writings.
Who to trust? God doesn't lie, or change His mind that first He reveals to us His identity as ONE, incomparable to anything, nothing in existance is like God. Then suddenly God becomes three, the trinity and becomes a man and is a womb of a woman for 9 months.
Plain ridiculous
