This is what I mean Dan.
Such a simple fundamental understanding of who Jesus is, and you don't know.
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but
his that sent me.
17 If any man
will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or
whether I speak of myself.
19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered,
Ye neither know me, nor my Father:
if ye had known me,
ye should have known my Father also.
30 I and my Father are one.
16 For
by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether
they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and
by him all things consist.
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and
keep his saying.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
58 Jesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was, I am.
Even Abraham understood who Jesus was and what He would do for him.
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will
provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
Jesus and His Father are one. Jesus didn't contradict, correct, or change the Father's Words. He followed His Father's command on how to created "ALL THINGS". As Jesus said, it was Him who spoke to Abram, it was Him who changed his name to Abraham. It was Him who created the week, and who sanctified the 7th day. All as the Father Commanded.
It was Him who said:
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which
ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations,
even these are my feasts.
It was Jesus who said;
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,
that I (Jesus) have set before you
life and death, blessing and cursing:
therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God,
and that thou mayest
obey his voice,(not religious men) and that thou mayest
cleave unto him (Not religious traditions)
for he is thy life,( not the image of the long haired playgirl centerfold model MC placed His name on) and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
When He says "My commandments" He is speaking to His Commandments as the One who created them and gave them to mankind.
This is my belief. This is why I know Jesus didn't battle against the Father in Col. 2, and "Triumph over Him" as "MANY" of the preachers "Who come in His Name, Preach.
This is why I know Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees religious teachings and not the Fathers in Matt. 5. It is this Jesus that we need to have Faith in, and it is His Word's spoken that we are to be admonished by. And they never change Dan.
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee
shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
And again;
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me,
he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and
we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.
24 He
that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear
is not mine,
but the Father's which sent me.
This foundation is the Rock to build our house on. Not "another Jesus" who didn't create "all things".
