This verse explains the "hearing" of Jesus

which he used to make judgment. The words
are from the father and not from Jesus. The
father "gave" Jesusthe words to speak. How,
then, is Jesus God? Rather, Jesus affirms
that he was sent by God.

10 John 17:7-8

Now they have known that things whatsoever

you have given me are of you, for I have given
to them the words which you gave me; and they
have received them and have known surely that
I came out from you and that you did send me.

Jesus answered: If I honor myself, my honor is Jesus testimony as to his own merit is worth
nothing. It is my father that honors me, of whom nothing. God is not humble to his servants,

rather man must be humble before God.

And this is life eternal, that they might know

thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ ,
whom thou has sent, I have glorified thee on
the earth. I have finished the work which you
gave me to do.

1.Salvation is based on recognizing the

absolute unity id God, without partners or
equals, and to accept the message of His
messengers. This is called shahadah in Islam
2. Jesus affirms , again, that he is the
messenger of God who "glorifies" Him. 3.
God assigns work for Jesus to do, and Jesus
completes his assignment. They have
different roles and functions, one obviously
superior to the other.

COMMENTARY

For there are that bear record in heavens, the

father, the word, and the holy ghost, and these
three are one.
And
there are three that witness in the earth, the
spirit, the water, and the blood, and these three
agree in one.
Commentary1.
Compare with moderen bibles. Verse 7 reads:
For there are three who tell about it. Verse 8
reads: The spirit, the water, and the blood, and
these three agree in one.
2. The
scripture translator Benjamin Wilson wrote in
his Emphatic Diaglott: " This text concerning
the heavenly witness is not vontained in any
Greek manuscript which was written earlier that
the 15th century. Itis not cited by any of the
ecclesiastical writers... It is therefore evidently
spurious."
3. Peake's
Commentary on the Bible: " The famous
interpolation after ' three witnesses' is not
printedeven in RSVn, and rightly. It cites the
heavenly testimony of the Father,

the logos, and the Holy Spirit, but is never

used in the early Trinitarian contraversies.
No respectable Greek manuscript contains it.
Appearing first in a late 4th century Latin text,
it entered the Vulgate and finally the New
Testament of Erasmus.
4.
Edward Gibbon wrote in Decline and Fall of
the Roman Empire, Vol4, p.418: " The
evidence of the three heavenly witnesses
would now be rejected in any court of justice,
but prejudice is blind, authority is deaf , and
our vulgar Bibles will ever be polluted by this
spurious text.
5.The New
Catholic Encyclopedia ( bearing the Nihil
Obstat and Imprimatur, indicating official
approval) , XIV, p. 295, explains: "It was only
during the last quadrant of the 4th century
that what might be called the definitve
Trintarian dogma ' One God in three persons'
became throughly assimilatedinto Christian
life and thought... It was the product of the
three centuries of doctrinal development."

Commentary cont'd
6.
James Bentley wrote in Secrets of Mount Sinai,
pp. 30-33: " The brilliant Richard Porson
published devastating conclusive proof that'
the verse of 1 John 5:7 was only first inserted
by the Church into the Bible in the year 400
C.E.' "
7.
Out of the 2030 attendees at the first Council of
Nicea in 325 C.E., only 318 readily accepted
the

Nicean Creed. Under fear of Constantine,

though, they approved the doctrine of the
trinity, recognizing a "co-equality, co-eternity,
consubstantiality" of the triune godhead.
Several of them confessed to Contantine
upon their return home, among
themEusebius of Nicomedia, who wrote: " We
committed impious act, O Prince, ny
subscribing to a blasphemy from fear of you."
1. Mistranslation of the Greek- "ho theos"
means "God" whereas "ton theos" means
"god, divine." In this verse, "ton theos" is
used and is accurately represented in
numerous bibles like the New World
Translation:" and the word was divine."
Thus Jesus is not God, he is simply a divine
being.
2.
The same expression is used in the OT to
indicate supremacy, authority, and victory,
such as Exdous 7:1. And the lord said unto
Moses, "See, I have made thee a god to
pharaoh."

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be

Commentary1.
Jesus refers to himself as the " son of man" 81
times in the Bible and as the "Son of God" ( in
the sense described above ) only twice. This
signifies a point: that he insists on being
perceived as a human being, no more, no less.
2. Robert Alley, a professor at the University of
Richmond, writes: "... The passages where
Jesustalks about the " Son of God" are later
additions... what the Church said about him.
Such a claim of deity for himself would not have
been consistent with his entire lifestyle as we
can reconstruct. For the first decades after
Jesus' death Christianity

continued as a sect within Judaism. The first

3 decades of the existence of the church
were within the synagogue. That would have
been beyond belief if { the followers} had
boldly proclaimed the deity of Jesus.
3.
Marcello Craveri, in his The life of Jesus,
wrote Actually, the Old Testament does
contain the phrase ebed Yahweh which,
however, means " the servant of God, "the
slave of God," God's liege subject. The Greek
text... translates it equivocally as pais Theou,
