Christ And The Father In Connection With Each Other Part I

    In this Article, I will be going over a handful of passages that have God The Father and Jesus Christ in connection with each other that testifies to Christ's deity. 

• John 15:23-24 Part I

    23  Whoever hates me also hates my Father. 24  If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have both seen me and hated me as well as my Father. 

    Here Christ is talking and He says that Whoever hates Him also hates God the Father also. And now that Christ came into the world and have seen and hated Him that also hate The Father as well. So if you are standing before Christ while He was on earth and you hated Him, your hate towards Him, who was standing before you, also went to God The Father who was not standing before you. Some will argue the fact that Christ is The Son of The Father that is why hating The Son also means hate towards The Father. But according to the Jehovah witnesses, these two are different beings. So how can someone passionately hate a creature and those exact feelings and thoughts of hatred also apply to Jehovah God exactly without change. 

• John 13:31-32  Part II

    31  When, therefore, he had gone out, Jesus said: “Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in connection with him. 32  God himself will glorify him, and he will glorify him immediately.

    Now obviously with the Jehovah witness Bible we know who they say God is, so hence Christ here is referring to The Father. So Christ said that when He is glorified, God The Father is glorified in connection with The Son. If I praise the earth, does my praise also go towards the other 7 planets in our solar system? No, because they are different and separate. And according to Jehovah witnesses, The Son and The Father are different, yet praise to One is praise to the Other as well. How can this be if Both are not one deity?

• John 14:9 Part III

    9  Jesus said to him: “Even after I have been with you men for such a long time, Philip, have you not come to know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father also. How is it you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

    Christ is speaking to Saint Philip, and Saint Philip had asked Christ to show them the Father. Then Christ says that Whoever sees Me also sees the Father. This does not makes sense in the terms that They are Father and Son, but in the sense of Deity. So if Christ is a creature, a man and not God according to the Jehovah witnesses' then how can one look at Christ and that means they also are seeing The Father who is God? In these terms you cannot reverse it. You cannot say that if you see God The Father you also see Christ who is a creature can you? It would only make sense if Christ is God along with God The Father that if you see one you also see the Other.

• John 10:30 Part IV

    30 I and the Father are one."

    Many Trinitarians will use this verse to prove Christ's deity yet there are ways that Arians will quote other verses to try and refute this, yet the Greek again, has the answers and better meanings of what is being said.

Example 1. The Kingdom Interlinear of the Greek Scriptures jw.org

    So according to the Greek, Christ and the Father are one thing. How can this be Jehovah witness? How can a man claim to be of the same thing as Jehovah the Father? I thought there was nothing like God in creation, so how can someone of creation by like the Father? This would explain when Christ and the Father have these things that connect them.

and be gracious to you;
