Who was the God in the Gospel of John ?
It wasn't The JESUS !
***Who was the "ALL POWERFUL GOD" in the Gospel of John ?**
Jesus had a God, for when he was about to ascend to heaven,
he said: “I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” (Bible,John 20:17).
John was sure that no one had seen God,
Although he knew that many people had seen Jesus
(Check The Bible, John 1:18 and 1 John 4:12).
In fact Jesus himself told the crowds, that they have never seen the Father, nor have they heard the Father’s voice
(Bible,John 5:37).
*** Notice that if Jesus was the Father, his statement here would be false.***
Who is the only God in John’s Gospel? The Father alone.
Jesus testified this when he declared that the God of the Jews is the Father (John 8:54).
Jesus too confirmed that the Father alone is the only true God
(Check The Bible,John 17:1-3).
And Jesus said to his enemies:
“...you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God.” (Bible,John 8:40).
According to John, therefore, Jesus was not God,
And finally nothing John wrote should be taken as proof that he was God — unless one wishes to disagree with John.
