Hello everyone,
It is I, Lorena, back with another question that came to mind tonight. I was talking to some coworkers after work tonight about religion differences. Just for clarification, I was talking with two coworkers, a Morman and another Christian. I will refer to my Morman coworker as "B" and my other coworker as "W" for the remainder of this blog. W and I randomly wanted to ask B about his religion as we were curious of our different views. B explained that Morman's view God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as separate beings and that Jesus is not on the same level as God. W stated, "Well that sort of makes sense cause Jesus was put inside the belly of Mary. Otherwise did God put himself in Mary?" Although I responded, "God can do all things." I still wanted to find textual proof that backed what I was taught.
At the time, I didn't know how to respond. I was always taught that the Holy Trinity were one, but I had never read for myself that it was stated to be so. After everyone decided to leave, I went straight home. I had to go to the one person who spends the most time with God, my grandmother. She would have the answers of course. After some difficulty trying to explain it, she did a quick search to find me the verse that states God and Jesus are one.
The verse, John 10:30, was the first to appear in a quick google search which says, "The Father and I are one." (Fritz Chery) For me, that was all I needed to prove that they were on equal standing and not separate beings. Other quotes include:
* John 1:18 “No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known."
* John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
* John 1:14 “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."
