34Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are gods'[e]? 35If he called them 'gods,' to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken— 36what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'? 37Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. 38But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father." 39Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.
I feel this should be discussed...
To me,this shows Jesus agreed w/their "Laws'Description of them as "gods".
Of course, he couldn't believe they were the "Supreme Being" or the "father", Himself for, this would be "blasphemy".
By using their "Laws" as a defense this shows, he did not believe by saying he was the "son of God" was "blasphemous" for, any person, in any age, COULD SAY THE SAME, as long as they were truly following God...
