Who was the God in the Gospel of John ?

Who was the God in the Gospel of John ?

                           *******   Who was the 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.”(John 20:17).

John was sure that no one had seen God,
Although he knew that many people had seen Jesus (see 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 (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 (see 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.” (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.
