Such utter nonesense?

Hi, Tovey. You said,

"Jn 10:30) I and my Father are one."

..which means, exactly, WHAT? Put that together with this one:

"Jn 17:[20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
[21] That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
[22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
[23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Note that Jesus wants us to be "one" with God, the same way he is "one" with Him. If you are trying to say that these scriptures say Jesus is God, the way my reverend father most holy elders are saying it, then you are proposing that we all shall become God -- not gods, but "God Himself".

When shall I begin worshiping you?

Meanwhile, please explain to me, how Jesus prayed these things to God. Was he praying to himself?

Such utter nonesense!
