A DISCUSSION ON THE VERSE "I AND FATHER ARE ONE"

Page 1

Nestle GNT 1904 ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ Πατὴρ ἕν ἐσμεν. Iohonnon 10:30 This Greek sentence is used to prove Trinity. ἐγὼ means I,καὶ means and,Πατὴρ means father ,ἕν means one and ἐσμεν means are. This is correctly translated as follow: I and Father are one. Trinitarians and Athanasians argue as follow:= The Greek word for “one” i.e" ἕν " is neuter. So oneness /unity of any thing which is not neuter cannot be accepted. Therefore it cannot be Oness of Thought. Since the thought is not neuter. Similarly the person is also not neutet therefore, neither the oness of Person nor the Oness of Thought can be meant.Essence is however neuter. Therefore the word means " in one par se subsistent essence/ousia or one in per se subsistent essence/ousia. This mean Iesous and Father are in one Essence/ Ousia and One in Essence/ Ousia. The word And ,and the word Are in the plural form the assert of distinctness. as against Sabellianism, and in the “one” there is the assertion of co-ordination as against Arianism. Note: There is no word for My in Greek.

First Discussion: In the John there is an other sentence which is as follow: Nestle GNT 1904 καὶ οὐκέτι εἰμὶ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ εἰσίν, κἀγὼ πρὸς σὲ ἔρχομαι. Πάτερ ἅγιε, τήρησον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ᾧ δέδωκάς μοι, ἵνα ὦσιν ἓν καθὼς ἡμεῖς. Greek Orthodox Church 1904 καὶ οὐκέτι εἰμὶ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ εἰσί, καὶ ἐγὼ πρὸς σὲ ἔρχομαι. Πάτερ ἅγιε, τήρησον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου οὓς δέδωκάς μοι, ἵνα ὦσιν ἓν καθὼς ἡμεῖς.17:11 GRK: ἵνα πάντες ἓν ὦσιν καθὼς
