  • Tanya on John 10:30 - 10 years ago
    I am so thankful that I know who Jesus Christ is. He�s the father, the son & the Holy Spirit. There is a plan of salvation that we must follow and it's clearly stated in Acts 2:38. I don't understand how people can believe that there are 3 separate entities in the Godhead. Colossians 2:9, "For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily". Why do you think Jesus was crucified? He was proclaiming that he was God. ( Romans 10 verse 13 states that he who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved, verse 14 how can people call on the Lords name when they don't believe who Jesus is. HE chooses and sends preachers, to those who haven't heard yet who Jesus Christ is. Most preachers decide themselves that they want to preach.)
  • Nessa on John 10:10 - 10 years ago
    The thief cometh not, but to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. the word says watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. He also says my sheep hear my voice and shall not follow another voice. Sheep do know the different between God's voice and the enemies voice.
    The bible says if we new the thief was coming we would be prepared. The way to be prepared is to watch and pray and Jesus will lead you. A good pray #1.The Our Father's #2. Psalms 23
  • Gualberto on John 10:30 - 10 years ago
    Jesus words at John 10:30 have been clarified completely by John 17:22. Their oneness is by purpose and not by Godhead, as what the Scriptures completely described.
  • Phil van D on John 10:10 - 10 years ago
    If the thief knew me then he would have an abundant life and would have no need or desire to do these things.
  • Geo on John 10 - 10 years ago
    Jesus, or, " Yeshua ", is called "The Son ofGod" having to do with His corporeal birth into the material world, in time and space. Otherwise it is clear there is no distinction between He, and the Father. - Also, His self description of, "Son of Man", is origined we see in Daniel chapter 7, verse 13. Now, St. Paulstated concerning the Father, that, "In Him we live and move and have our being", taken from a Greek tribute. In that regard, there is nothing that is not part of God, we must realize! He holds the atomic structures together, and we are all within and part of Him.
  • Geo on John 10 - 10 years ago
    Wanted to say, "Jehovah" is an English translation of something different... For one.
    For another I also wanted to say that with respect to persecution, such as during the Iron Curtain years... all believers helped one another in love. No matter what their particualar denomination or Christian faith. - Regarding what I stated about the Angelic, it puts anew slant on the parable of the Good Shepherd. We came from the Heavenlies in origins, from where Jesus left to come to a sin filled world, to rescue what was lost, regarding the Fall. He has rescued us through His sacrificial atonement, leaving us free to be people of God in heart, Conscience, and Faith.
  • Dehli Jan on John 10 - 10 years ago
    Jesus is the Son of God
  • Keny on John 10:10 - 10 years ago
    Jesus"s wish is for us to have a fulfilling and abundant life, but we can't get that if we don't come to him.
  • ANNE LIZ OTIENO on John 10:27 - 10 years ago
    John 10:27......God identify his own through their obedience, you should not accept any other voice except your father's because God honors His word. When you hear the voice of the LORD, you can not loose direction and all will be well with you with your family and friends. Hearkening to obey fully the voice of God attract favor that brings victory. When you hear the voice of God and obey you are in fellowship with God and goodness and mercy is all around you.
  • Martha Prince on John 10 - 10 years ago
    Yes it is true the Godhead is a mystery however in many scriptures Christ identifies Himself as God.
    John 14:8-9
    8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, 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?

    Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

    Isaiah says it best of all.

    Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
  • Alan on John 10:30 - 11 years ago
    If Jesus is God, so who resurrected Jesus? Jesus is not God, whose name is Jehovah; but he is the Son of God. Jehovah resurrected Jesus from the dead. Romans 10:9.
  • Lori on John 10 - 11 years ago
    @Muhammad Kalam,
    Yes Jesus died on the cross, but that is not where it ends. HE ROSE AGAIN (from the dead) on the third day. Unlike other "gods" that men worshipped, Jesus rose from the dead. The others are still dead. In John 10, Jesus is telling the people that He is the son of God and even though He has said and shown who He is through the works He has done in His Father's name, there will still be some who will still not believe in HIM. And, that is unfortunate. However, those that hear His voice and know Him, He will also know them before His Father in eternity and recognize them on judgment day.
  • Ian on John 10 - 11 years ago
    @Sister Linda Susan,
    Jesus was called Emmanuelle (God among us). Jesus says also My Father and I are one. Jesus taught us not just by what He said but also what He did. He was teaching us to have a relationship with our heavenly Father. I can't recall what verse but Jesus also calls himself "I AM" the same name Moses is told to tell Jews who sent him. When Jesus says His sheep hear His voice he is saying that like the people in the synagogue who rejected him many people till He returns will also not understand the scripture both Old and New Testaments will be a mystery. This non understanding leads to believing in false Sabbaths and holy days (traditions of men). He warns us again about the deception many believe in Mark 7:6-9. There are two kinds of Christians Jesus says those that call him Lord prophecy, do wonders and cast out demons in his name but he won't know them. And there are the true believers who hear his voice and obey his commandments. There are articles with bible scripture proving how Satan has deceived many Christians, most wonderful people but deceived nonetheless. I urge you to pray that your eyes are opened so that the truth be revealed to you. God bless.
  • Paul M. on John 10:36 - 11 years ago
    I've heard that in the Greek edition of the New Testament it says "I am a son of God." The King James translators put the word "the" in front of son.
  • Insight 777 on John 10 - 11 years ago
    Verse 18; No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. Jesus from the moment of creation had eternal life. He has the power to raise the dead to life again. Jesus, the Son of God, is not a coward and does not fear death. When he prayed that the burden be lifted from him it was, not fear of pain or death. Jesus feared being Sin, as he had to become the Sin of Christians and kill it on the cross. In that way his followers were cleansed. Jesus knew that the moments before death when he became sin that God, his father, would reject him. That separation from God is what Jesus feared. That is the pain that is unbearable. Jesus proved he became Sin when he shouted out, asking My God why has thou forsaken me? This is the lie Satan wanted the world to hear, to spread doubt in the minds of mankind. If God rejected Jesus then everything Jesus taught is a lie. God rejected Sin, not his Son Jesus.
  • Sister Linda Susan on John 10 - 11 years ago
    A strong thought here why would God talk to himself, Jesus was not crazy, God is not neither. He did not have a split personality. Jesus said the father is greater than I. Greater means plural more than one great greater. Please open your bible to John 14:28 and help me understand this reasoning that Jesus is his father first born. God and Jesus do not play games, they have no split personality sicknesses. John 5:36 he said the father sent him here. I am thinking Jesus said clearly his father sent him. God can do anything, God does not have to pretend he is Jesus and act like a split personality like a sibling. God and Jesus do not talk to themselves and confuse people. We must understand the devil knows the scriptures inside out. In John 20:17, Jesus was talking to a person there, Jesus does not lie. Jesus saith unto her touch me not for I am not yet ascended to my father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my father, and your father: and to my God, and your God. Does everyone think Jesus was crazy? Jesus told the people in John 14:10, Jesus said the father is in him and he is in the father, but here again Jesus says I speak not of myself: but the father that dwelleth in me. Jesus takes no credit for the things he did but said the father doeth the works, the holy spirit speaks, comes in people but they are not the holy spirit. I cover this message with the blood of Jesus. Amen.
  • Ron c on John 10 - 11 years ago
    The gospel according to John centers it's thoughts on intimate relationship. The hope is that we will recognize the importance of having, and the need to have the kind of relationship with God, that the Son has! After all, these works and greater shall we be able to do through intimate relationship with God The Father, through God the Son!
  • Timothy Wayne George on John 10:33 - 11 years ago
    It is interesting that 2000 years since His first Advent, they are still struggling with Jesus being God. They called it blasphemy then, and would do so now. Yet in His second Advent He will come riding on the clouds, and all kindred on earth will see Him, and they will wail for Him whom they pierced. Receive the Son today, and He will be your Savior. May the risen Lord bless you this Holiday Season.
  • Muhammad Kalam on John 10 - 11 years ago
    According to the Christians, Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) is God. And similarly Jesus Christ (pbuh) was crucified and died. So what I want say that's (according to the Christians), Almighty God had died. Imagine, Almighty God, He had crucified! He had died!
  • Vincent on John 10 - 11 years ago
    Like a lot of you, I have struggled with the understanding of the Holy Trinity. I sometimes think of the hymn Abide In Me (I believe that is the title) with the line "God in three persons, blessed Trinity" it plainly is saying that God is also the Son and Holy Spirit. A local pastor who had gained some widespread renown, said, God the Father is all there is, The Holy Spirit is all we will feel, and Jesus is all we will ever see. For now this works for me until someone convinces me differently. But isn't the reality of everything based on the love we have for Him in our hearts and the salvation of everlasting life as the promise?
  • Melissa on John 10:30 - 11 years ago
    Jesus was God in the flesh. Read John 1:1,14. Oh the beauty of the "One God" revelation !!!
  • Jerry on John 10 - 11 years ago
    Jesus is not GOD. He and the Father are of one mind and one accord but he is not God. He is and individual. When he was baptized in the river Jordan, you had Jesus standing on earth the Father speaking from heaven and the Holy Ghost descending in the form of a dove. The Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, of one mind and accord but of three individuals.
  • Ian on John 10 - 11 years ago
    To the guy who says Jesus is not God, I urge you to read verse 30, He says I and my father are one. He was going to be stoned for saying so. He is God in the flesh, or God among us. However you want to see it. He tells the Pharisees before Abraham was born "I am" this means he is God.
  • D McNeish on John 10 - 11 years ago
    In your experience.....what is the "abundant life" that Jesus spoke of and how is it experiencially different from "life."

  • Timothy Wayne George on John 10 - 11 years ago
    John 10:28 When Jesus said I give unto my sheep eternal life, and they shall never perish. This is the doctrine of eternal security, and no one can take the salvation from anyone who has been born into the family of God. Now believers can lose their rewards. Revelation 3:10 Jesus tells the churches to see that no man take your reward. Jesus is the door for the sheep. There is only one way to the Father, and that is through Jesus. All others trying to get to the Father without going through the door are thieves, and robbers. The passage in Hebrews 6 is talking about people who have crucified the Lord of glory, these are not Christians. Jesus said you must be born again to inherit the Kingdom of God. If any man is in Christ, he is a new creation, and the old is gone, while the new man is formed. When one is a Christian he is dead to sin, and raised to new life in Christ. Paul said I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, but the life I live by faith in the Son of God who loves me, and gave Himself for me. Jesus is our advocate before the Father. So we are secure in Jesus Christ our Savior.
  • Darrell Light on John 10:18 - 11 years ago
    This is one of my favorite verses in the new testament. Why I like it, is because it distingushes God from his Son. So many churches today say that the Christ was and is God, here He clearly states that he is not God and yet of God so that makes Him God-like, as long as he will do the Father's will at any cost, for he has the choice not to if he and His own will wants to. Most churches that believe that He is God say that when he says phrases similar to this, is that He is teaching the people to be where he is, but this verse is not a lesson..nobody can lay down their life and take it again on their own accord, unless you have a commandment from above to do so. only the Son of God, and God himself has that power to my knowledge so I will continue my journey to know God through His Son the Christ 2 separate and yet 1.
  • Rose on John 10 - 11 years ago
    please share the message in the book of John 10: 1-10. esp. Verse 9. I am the door
  • Joe on John 10 - 11 years ago
    It answers a question and begets another. Who besides the Gentile are included in "another fold"
  • Patricia on John 10 - 11 years ago
    JESUS GIVE HIS SHEEP ENTERAL LIFE HE AND HIS FATHER IS ONE WHEN YOU SEE HIM YOU SEE HIM CAN A DEVIL OPEN EYES OF THE BLIND?WHEN JESUS ASK THE JEWS TO DESTROY A TEMPLE WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT?
  • Jeff davis on John 10 - 12 years ago
    John 10:30,"I and my Father are one.Jesus is God,1:14,"and the word was made flesh,God(the spirit,the word, was made flesh and dwelt among-us. I have the power to give life, and to take it away,can you add one inch of stature to your-self?God can,now go and tell no-one,that's what Jesus said over and over as not to give the glory to the flesh!God is spirit and no man has seen the Father, you need to be a glorified body to see the Father...
