John 5:31- If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32- There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
Jesus says it is GOD that bore witness- SOME ELSE other than hiself!

He answered THAT: every Jew knew what a son was!
John5: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.
Did Christ confirm this?
19- 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.
20- 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.
21- For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the son quickeneth whom he will.
22- For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the son:
23- That all men should honour the son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24- Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25- Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26- For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the son to have life in himself;
27- And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the son of man.
28- Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29- And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Pay ATTENTION~
30- I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
John 3:33-He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.34- For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.35 -The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
Who can give GOD all things?
John 3: 17-For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18= He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 5:22-For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23-That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 24-Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Notice that Christ HIMSELF says believing in His Father, as well, means life!
Who do YOU think his Father is???
Can you think of someone who can give authority to God?
Can you think of someone who can SEND God on a errand?
His heavenly Father freely made his Identity known!
...why have you left the god and his son?.
