Christ Claimed He is God in John 10:35-36

Question: You said that Christ as the son of God is not God just because God declared in the old testament that there is none like him, nor there will be other God that will come after him. [see... Is there other God except the one true God?] But isn't it true that Christ claimed that He is God too as recorded in John 10:35-36?

Answer: Before I will say something about your question, let us first quote the verses John 10:34-36 from the New King James version:

34Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, "I said, 'You are gods'"
35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken).
36 "do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

Actually, Christ did not claim that He is God. What He claimed is that He is the son of God.

In that verses, Christ simply explained that there's nothing wrong if He will say that He is the son of God, just like when those people whom the word of God came as quoted by Christ were called gods.

Actually, it's the jews who mistook that Christ was claiming to be a God when he said He is the Son of God. They didn't understand that claiming to be the son of God didn't mean that he is claiming to be God.

To let you know, claiming to be the Son of God doesn't mean claiming to be God. Don't you remember who is the true God that Christ introduced? In John 17:1-3, it is His Father who is only the true God according to Christ. And Christ wanted his disciples to have that belief.

Then if for Christ, the Father is the only true God, then it also means that there is no other God besides His Father. If there are those who are called gods, those gods are not true God because the Father is the only true God.
