You offer the miracles as evidence that Jesus is his own Father God?
In that case add in all the apostles.

Hi Nick

Me: The Greek Word “One”
The same usage is found in the Greek of the New Testament. The apostle Paul applied the same usage for “ONE” and referred it to the whole of the Ekklesia (wrongly translated the church) in Ephesians 5:31. Paul used the same term (“ONE”) and said that as Adam and Eve became ONE flesh, so Christ has become ONE flesh with a group of people whom He identified as the Ekklesia. He said this group represents ONE Body made up of many members (1 Corinthians 12:12–27, 30).
“For as the Body is ONE, and hath MANY members, and all the members of that one Body, being MANY, are ONE Body: so also is Christ.”
1 Corinthians 12:12
“The Body is not one member, but MANY” (verse 14).
“Now are they MANY members, yet but ONE Body” (verse 20).
“Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular” (verse 27).
I have emphasized the word “ONE” for a reason. In the Bible ONE can mean MANY:
“For as we have MANY members in ONE Body, and all members have not the same office: so we, being MANY, are ONE Body in Christ.”
Romans 12:4–5
Never forget! All of us are members of ONE Body because all of us are in Christ (Ephesians 1:3–14). But Christ is also in the Father. This means we are also in the Father because Christ said, “I and the Father are ONE” (John 10:30). This indicates in the theological terms of the Bible that ONE can be reckoned as TWO when the Father and Christ are unified in purpose. But it goes further than that. Christ said in His prayer to the Father that all people on earth are given to Christ by the Father and they are also ONE with Him as Christ is ONE with the Father.
“Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me, that they may be one as we are [ONE].”
John 17:11
God bless
