Bolton Returning Officer Seaford -1 - Another letter Dear Editor, In the letter appearing under the heading "Share Thoughts", the writer speaks of ignoring "what Jesus said of himself, vis., "1 and the Father (God) are one"'-, at the same time ignoring .the - context of that statement by Jesus. • Verses 24 to 30 of John 10 read: "So the•'Jews gathered round him and said to him, "How long will . you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." Jesus answered them, "I, told you and yOu do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me; but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. My. sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. Mir • Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and • the Father are one." When the Jews accused Jesus of "blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God." Jesus' reply was: "Is it not written in your law," (Psalm 82:6) "I said you are gods? If he called them gods to whom the • word of God, came (and • scripture cannot be broken), do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, "You are blaspheming,because I said, I am the Son of God?" (John 10: 31-36). Thirteen times in this one chapter Jesus spoke of God as his Father. In the statement: "If Jesus is not God, He is a liar and, therefore, hardly a person to be respected", the Nriter - I d 1 i spate Jesus'__ words at John 8:17-19: "In your law it is written Turn to page 16 • 4 . • FABRIC ci 4824533.. cre 13 Rattenbury St. East Clinton ire OPEN: DAILY8 a.m:-10:30 pan.
