Thank you for the response. However all you are doing is addressing the grammar. Will you address the concepts being expressed in the grammar?
John 14:9:
…
8Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."
9Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father;
how can you say, 'Show us the Father '? 10"Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.…
The bold text is added for emphasis by me. You use the same words in the same context for me. You will see it will fail.
if you grasp the concept at work you will realize he is not talking about image or form there.
Colossians 1:15
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Hebrews 1:3
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
1 John 5:20
We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Hebrews 1:3
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
I do not think we are in much disagreement but the terminology is confusing others. I believe GOD is GOD as you and Jesus was and I liken Jesus to a MODEL or a PUPPET that GOD controlled. In Genesis we are told God formed the first man from the dust (mud or clay) from the ground; Jesus is the only the human formed LIKE ADAM was formed. Neither of them were born with a sin nature as well. In some literal sense the puppet and the puppet master are a real close relationship even though they are two separate things. Jesus unlike Adam had God's thoughts and qualities inside of HIM; This puts Jesus super close to God than any of us. The distinction between the puppet and the puppet master is hard to see if you do not grasp the concepts. There are not three GODS but ONLY ONE. I will further add that this distinction is the same relation as Soul is to Spirit. All humans have a Spirit and a Soul. How many know the difference between them? The separation is so small one would need a super duper microscope to see the space in between the two. Mathematicians have this thing called the Derivative which is almost identical; the derivative is the space between the tangent line and the slope of a curve. The points are so close together that both points are taken to be identical. So GOD is the tangent line in the analogy and Jesus is the slope of the curve. The two point are so microscopic that to human eyes that the points are identical.
