Johannes 14:10-11

Studie

      

10 Gelooft gij niet, dat Ik in den Vader ben, en de Vader in Mij is? De woorden, die Ik tot ulieden spreek, spreek Ik van Mijzelven niet, maar de Vader, Die in Mij blijft, Dezelve doet de werken.

11 Gelooft Mij, dat Ik in den Vader ben en de Vader in Mij is; en indien niet, zo Gelooft Mij om de werken zelve.

9971. When asked about the God they worshipped they replied that they worshipped God the visible and the invisible, the visible God under the human form and the invisible God under no form at all. I realized from what they said, as well as from the ideas in their minds that were conveyed to me, that their visible God was our Lord Himself; indeed they called Him the Lord. I was allowed to reply that on our planet also God the visible and the invisible is worshipped, and that the invisible God is called the Father and the visible the Lord, but that the two are one. This He Himself has taught us, saying that no one has ever seen the Father's shape, but that the Father and He are one, and that whoever has seen Him has seen the Father, and that the Father is in Him and He is in the Father, consequently that these two who are Divine exist in one person. These are the Lord's own words, see John 5:37; 10:30; 14:7, 9-11.
