John 1:1 said:
In the beginning was the Word, and Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The Word was with God. You can't be with yourself.
John 1:14 said:
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John confirms what he mentioned in verse 1 - Christ is not the Father. His glory is that of the Only Begotten of the Father, but not of the Father himself.
John 1:18 said:
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
No man hath seen the Father. But men saw Christ, didn't they? The Only Begotten of The Father is the closest men will get to seeing The Father, because they Father and the Son are two different beings. If the Father WAS the Son, that statement would be a lie.
John 1:32 said:
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode on him.
Christ is not the spirt. He can't be at one time both himself, standing in the water, and a dove upon his own sholder. The dove lay on him as a testament to their seperateness in body.
John 1:34 said:
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
John, even though you claim that when he said "And the Word was God" he meant they were one and the same being, bares record that they are in fact two seperate beings, the one being the Son of the Other.
John 1:49 said:
Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under a fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
Notice Christ said "believest thou", not "believest thou incorrectly", or "because I said unto thee, I saw thee under a fig tree, you came to the wrong conclusion". He verified Christ's position as Son of God, not God himself.
John 3:16 said:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Christ belonged to God. He was God's son. God gave Christ; Christ did not give himself.
John 3:34 said:
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
This states that God is not Christ, because, once again, God is seen sending Christ things. It also shows that God is not the HOly Ghost, because the Spirit is what God gives.
John 3:35 said:
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
Once again, you can either read this verse to mean that Christ is narcisistic, likes to masturbate, or that Christ and the Father are two seperate beings.
John 5:18-20 said:
Therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these that ye may marvel.
The Jews were taught, by Christ, that Christ was the Son of God, not God himself. Then, John continues by saying that Christ will not do anything until he sees the Father do it. If they were one and the same, it would be like standing in front of a mirror and only doing what you saw your reflection do. You would have to stand perfectly still, because you can't do anything, because your reflection hasn't done anything, because you haven't done anything. If Christ were the Father, and only did things he first saw the Father do, nothing at all would happen. And again, here it is again with the Father loving the Son.
John 5:22 said:
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to his Son.
Here we are again with The Father giving something to his Son. How does this happen if they are the same?
John 5:26 said:
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given it to the Son to have life in himself.
Here is God giving something to Father again. Not only that, but it says that Christ's very life is due to God. Christ owes EVERYTHING, even his very life, to The Father.
John 5:36 said:
But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the works that I do, bear witness of me, that The Fath hath sent me.
Again the Father sends Christ, and the Father gives Christ things. None of these things are things that could or would happen if Christ and the Father were the same being.
John 5:43 said:
I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
Christ is not here in his own name, like one would expect if he and the Father were the same being, but rather he is here in his Father's name, to do his Father's will.
John 6:38 said:
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
As seen in other verses, The Father is the one who sent Christ. And here we see that Christ's will is differentiated from that of the Father. If Christ WERE the Father, that would be unnecessary, and impossible.
John 6:57 said:
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateh me, even he shall live by me.
This shows, again, that The Father sent christ, and they are therefore not the same. It also again emphasises that Christ's very life is owed to God.
John 6:69 said:
And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
The apostels believed the Christ was the Son of God, not God himself, and Christ didn't correct them.
John 7:16 said:
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
If Christ and The Father were the same (the Father being him who sent Christ), Christ's doctrine WOULD be The Father's doctrine, but Christ emphasizes that he is strictly doing and teaching exactly what the Father tells him (ie, they are one in purpose and intent, but not in body).
John 7:29 said:
But I know him: For I am from him, and he hath sent me.
Again, one cannot send themself anywhere.
John 7:33 said:
Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
Even if in some way you DO beleive that Christ can send himself, this also shows that he is not The Father. If he sent himself, he would not have to go unto him that sent him, because he would already be with said sender, himself. But because the sender is NOT Christ, but the Father, and because Christ is not the Father, he CAN go unto him that sent him.
John 8:18 said:
The Father that sent me beareth witness of me
How does one send himself? Shouldn't Christ say I bear witness of myself on this mission that I go on of my own accord? It wouldn't be quite such a lie then, would it. Or, wait, maybe it's not a lie. Maybe they're two seperate people.
John 8:29 said:
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
Christ says the Father hasn't deserted him. But why would he even say such a thing if they were the same being? He also says he does only the things which please the Father, which is another testament to them being seperate.
