The Hebrew language also takes care of that discrepancy. "Unit of one" is the proper concept. Jesus was, and is FULLY filled continuously with His Father's Spirit unlike any other that had ever lived. When we look at Jesus we see the Father. Do you remember what He said to Philip when asking that Jesus would show him the Father?
Jesus said "Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?" John 14:9
There is another scripture that will confirm this if I have time on this post.
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 1 Corinthians 15:28

Continuing from post 722 we know each other by who we are, not according to our outward appearance. Jesus wasn't a comely person physically because it wasn't important.
Isaiah53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. John 7:24
With that said in relation to the previous post, my son-in-law's first name is the same as mine. My daughters first name is the same as my 2 daughter-in-laws. We identify each other by the spirit that motivates each other, and we know each other by what we see. Philip saw God the Father in Jesus FULLY. (smile) All Jesus did was all that God was doing in Him.
John 5:19 and 30 "Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do : for what things soever he doeth , these also doeth the Son likewise. I can of mine own self do nothing : as I hear , I judge : and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."
When we pray (because we have the spirit of God in us) we are not praying to ourselves. John 17:20-22
There's that being born again thing again. Excellent is the plan of salvation!

I'm concerned about people understanding the plan of salvation without any interference that uses those defining scriptures to say something else other than what that single message truly is. verse 23 in the previous post.
1 Corinthians 9:23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

Does the Hebrew language clear up John 17:11 and John 17:20-22?
If the Hebrew language clears up the problem in John 10:30, it has to do the same thing for John 17:11 and 20-22.
If Jesus and the Father are "one" physically, then Jesus and God and the apostles and those that believe in the apostles are "one" physically.
And then you have Paul and Apollos in 1 Cor. 3:8. The Hebrew language uses the same word for "one" here, as it does in John 10:30 and John 17:11 and 20-22. So I guess Paul and Apollos are one physically too.
OK, we know that Paul and Apollos are not one physically, but they are one in purpose. So we know that Jesus and the Father and the apostles and those that believe in the apostles are not all one physically, they are all one in purpose. So we know that Jesus and the Father are not one physically, but they are one in purpose.
You are right, the Hebrew language does take care of that discrepancy.

Through Christ (yes) Him being the first born among many brethren.
Romans 8:11 and 29 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. For whom he did foreknow , he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the *firstborn among many brethren.
Salvation is to follow suit with Christ as we pick up our cross.
Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a *new creature: old things are passed away ; behold , all things are become new.
Again, *New is obviously the second creature unlike the first.
Henceforth, our second birth in Christ (being born again) is the 2nd Adam. The natural is first, the spiritual is second. Just as the Bible says.
Back to 1 Corinthians 15:46-47
46Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the *second man is the Lord from heaven.
And yes, the second man is the Lord from heaven. As the natural Adam was the first born in the natural, Jesus is the first born in the spiritual being the second Adam. If we are none of His we are still of the first Adam being carnal in nature. If we are children of God we are of the second Adam spiritual in nature. Jesus as the first born is referring to His resurrection for the New Testament wasn't enacted until after His death. It is clear that Paul is talking about the resurrection in this chapter. He is teaching the significance of a new life in Christ pointing out that it is wrong to call the resurrection a thing of the past. Therefore the resurrection includes those who trust in Christ today because of His resurrection then.

Before the fall, Lucifer was the most powerful angel. But seeing that Jesus is the creator of all things in heaven as well as earth, he didn't have it all like our Savior does.
He had great power but not as much as Christ Jesus. I think that Lucifer wanted all that Jesus had and that's why the rebellion began. Lucifer became prideful in what his ability is, but became jealous because of what he didn't have and never would. The power of the 3 stones that Jesus has that Satan/Lucifer will never have are these.
10. Ligure- The power to redeem (Romans 3:21-26)
11. Agate- The power to separate in every detail (Hebrews 4:9-14)
12. Amethyst- The power to fulfill and lead (Matthew 5:17)

I already gave it to you in this post 2 days ago
Take what you know in the truth of scripture and relate scripture to the meaning of the letter with any given word. Make sure that whatever you conclude is in agreement with all of the Bible otherwise you will miss the meaning altogether.
לשמ=ligure
ל = *Shepherd staff
ש= **Two front teeth
מ = ***water
Refer to this post
As you know, a shepherd's staff comforts because the sheep can be rescued if they stray and fall, or are caught in the thicket that surrounds the pasture. With the Shepherd reaching out and grabbing the sheep around the neck with the hook of the *Shepherd's staff, the sheep can be pulled to safety. First letter in the stone “ligure.” This is is a form of redemption but is not complete without the other 2 letters. The first letter defines and sets the precedence for the following letters in the word giving the word its meaning.
Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and *thy staff they comfort me
Luke 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth , more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
When we eat, our **two front teeth enables us to eat without choking by taking in what we are able to chew and swallow little by little. This is the way God delivers His manna to us so we can see the validity of His word according to what He knows we can comprehend.
Isaiah 28:9-10
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
***Water is a very important symbol of cleansing in the law. Before coming into the presence of God a person had to be clean. This is also related to the symbol of baptism in the New Testament. We go down and die, then come up anew, being submerged into this reality of salvation in Christ Jesus. In this case the water and the two front teeth related to separation and cleansing, and the Shepherd's staff enables the sheep to be present for that purpose.
Exodus 30:20 When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister , to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD
Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear : he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
So this stone represents salvation/redemption/purchased/owned by God and becoming one of His own through Christ Jesus.
Jesus has that power, Lucifer never did.

Yes they were talking about humans as themselves. I quote "Poets are plural, Paul stating that these were performers that said they were made by the unknown God that they worshiped." I thought that you could comprehend what I didn't explicitly say. Please forgive me. It appears to me all that the poets knew and personally believed was in relation to their natural state, knowing they just didn't evolve by some primordial ooze such as evolutionists do. 
Paul is telling them there is more to life than what they knew at the present. He is preaching the good news of the gospel.
Sorry that I didn't define it to that point.
