Yes. I believe that's what confuses alot of people. Just my opinion here....I really do believe that Jesus was just a simple man...human being. When he refers to himself as 'like God' he is referring to keeping God's word true and living by it. Jesus was a good man...cared about people and helped them in many ways. Miracles....I dunno. I always use...or rather try to use logic...in this area. I don't believe in miracles per say....but I liken it as when Jesus healed the blind...he taught them to 'see' the way to God. To understand the way to God.

Many of the books in the New Testament were written during a time when true Christians were in hiding from authorities. So, these writers used examples, etc to get across their stories. Parables. Many times, even today, 'seeing' is referred to understanding. So that's how I see (understand) things. Not taking anything away from Jesus....just understanding that and what he did.

As for the mystery of God.....there is a mystery. I mean....where did God come from? He created us and everything around us....but where did He come from? A question that is always asked but there are no answers. I guess He will tell us when he's ready for us to know. LOL!
