By Greennice: Reckon these verses, guys
"If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father."
Jesus does the WILL of the father who sent him. So seeing Jesus is seeing what we need see of God.
"I and the Father and one."
From Paul; The one who plants and the one who waters are one, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God's service; you are our reward, God's building.
He's talking about himself and apollo here. Two people working with the same purpose. They aren't ONE, literally. But they both work towards a common goal with common sights.
That's what I think of it all.

PS buddy, he didn't have to say it, Jesus said it himself.
Luke 18:19
Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone.
Pray to seek God's good understanding of why Jesus said this and what it means. It was in no way diminishing his authority and who he is, but theres something to it people could realize which helps tie a lot of things together of what Christ did and the reasons why certain things had to happen the way they did according to Gods perfect plan.
God bless

^^^ False teaching, then ? ^^^
Paul and apollos and Cephas, 'are one' in serving the Lord, not 'one' as in the same people, as in, 1=2 . <---This is what you mean to say?
Why is 'Helper' capitalized, for the Holy Spirit coming to 'comfort' those who no longer will be with Jesus in person, who is going to sit at 'His right hand.'
Why is 'His' in SCripture both reference 'Jesus' and 'God,' like, for instance, 'His sheep know His voice,' and, the words above, let's use, Jesus when He ascends goes to sit at 'His' right hand, which, in this case, 'His'=God ?

There is NO good man, nope, not a one of us, good. (Romans 3)
Now, when one talks about sin, ahhh, that is a completely different story, for Jesus was a man without sin and that is because why??????
Because He is God

I explained it earlier from the summarized Bible, Jesus did not say he was not good, he was saying "God is Good." It was a leading question and you need to work it out. It also means that Jesus and God are One.
"Mar_10:18. Jesus’ object was not to infer that He was not good, for the Scriptures plainly teach that Jesus is Good above all men, but to raise the man’s view of His person. The ruler had called Him “Master” (teacher) and looked upon Him merely as a great man, on the same plane with himself. Jesus was God, but until His divinity was acknowledged He could not accept the title “good.”

Ok, my bad, bad example, 'His' is not what Scripture says for Jesus, just for the 'gatekeeper,' who the sheep follow. Scripture is so complex !!!!! The 'His' should be a 'My' for 'My sheep' and I have yet to compare a 'My' for God, too, so, the two 'possessives' can speak as both 'Jesus' referenced' and 'God.'

Jesus on earth was sinless, but Jesus was fully man and fully God, Scripture tells us, too.

The easiest way I see to explain things is that Jesus is The Way, He is showing us who God is, and, He is God, as, God could NOT be seen. He would have contradicted Himself IF He became onto Earth and walked with man, so, He made Himself into exactly how man could understand Jesus being Him, by a Holy Spirit seed of Himself sent to Earth, which became a human birthed Child.

*I and the Father are one.
The trying to say that they are just two different persons, who one follows after the other's ways is VERY hard to reckon for me, truthfully. I've tried, I see where mesh and bow both ARE coming from (been there, done that ) , but, to REALLY sink your teeth into those words makes one realize that there is SOMETHING unnatural going on and to reckon the 'are' word is the hardest of all.
If the verse said, "I and the Father are LIKE one." Wow ! That would make it simpler, for certain, right. But, that is NOT what Scripture says. Therefore, we MUST like Scripture how it is written, not how we ARE wanting it written.
Then, seeing the Father is seeing Jesus, is WHAT Jesus tells us. So........ Again, we are talking about seeing a GOD seeing a God !!!! Two Gods. Yet...... What does Scripture say? There is ONLY ONE God, and, God is He. Worship the Lord GOD (singular) with all your heart, mind, soul' is what Scripture says, right, I got that one right, I hope, pray
My green brains get the best of me sometimes, and, with that said, God is who He says He is, right, He is God of everyone and everything, 'God is all and all.' ONE God, this SCripture here <=== I think, is in 1 Cor. , but it is in His Word.
God is NOT an author of confusion, right, too. He will not say things to confuse, and, IF you are worshipping God and Jesus seperately, when Jesus is The Way, how does one reckon doing that? Again, subtle double meaning, but 'I AM,' you remember from Exodus, when Moses asks God who it is we say sent You , and, God answers for Moses to tell Pharoah, "I AM.' Then, Jesus says, 'I am the way, the truth, and, the life, no man comes to the Father but by Me.'
It really can sound confusing, but, rest assured, God WANTS you ONLY worshippping ONE GOD and He be Him
Anyway, just speaking my thoughts here

Why do you call Me (Jesus) Good. Only GOD ( JESUS) is Good.
Jesus is not denying Himself to be God but He wanted to see if the rich man had recognized Him to be God.
This is why He said: 'why do you call Me Good. Only God is good.'
If He wasn't good, He wouldn't declared that whom has seen Me (JESUS), has seen the Father (GOD). It would be a complete blasphemy. This is why the Jews tried to killed Him because He declared that He is God.
You see. Jesus is God.
There is only one God and His name is the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Father is God in the function of a creator;
The Son of God is God as a creation;
The Holy Spirit is God in the form of a Spirit.
These are the 3 function of the only one and unique God.
