Jesus, in keeping with the mythical character, is made to claim equality and identity with the Father. He says (John x. 30), “_I and my Father are one_;” but in the same book (John xiv. 28), he says, “_The Father is greater than I_”—(Cf. Matthew xxiv. 36.) Again, he claims superiority over his Father. “_The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son. As I hear I judge_” (John v. 22, 30). And then in the same gospel he says, “_I judge no man_,” (John viii. 15.) “_If any man hear my words and believe not, I judge him not; for I came not to judge the world_,” (John xii. 47). Again, “_I am one that bear witness of myself. Though I bear witness of myself, yet my record is true_,” (John viii. 14, 18); which is contradicted by (John v. 31) “_If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true_.” He says (John v. 33, 34) that “_John bare witness unto the truth, but I receive not testimony from man_,” and then tells the disciples, who are supposed to have been men, that “_they also shall bear witness_” to or of him (John xv. 27). Again he says, “_Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works_,” (Matthew v. 16). But “_Take heed that ye do not your alms before men to be seen of them_.” (Matthew vi. 1). “_Resist not evil, but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also_,” (Matthew v. 39); for “_all that take the sword, shall perish with the sword_,” (Matthew xxvi. 52). Nevertheless, “_He that hath no sword let him sell his garment and buy one_,” (Luke xxii. 36). “_I came not to send Peace but a Sword_,” (Matthew x. 34). “_Be not afraid of them that kill the body_,” (Luke xii. 4). Nevertheless “_Jesus would not walk in Jewry because the Jews sought to kill him_,” (John vii. 1). I merely ask, for the sake of information, are these statements contradictory or are they not?
