Jesus is uniquely the eternal Word and begotten Son of God, not a created son in the way Adam is.

Jesus’ claims in John 10 to give eternal life, hold the sheep, and be one with the Father identify him with Yahweh rather than merely as God’s representative.

Argument claim

Jesus’ shepherd language in John 10 can be understood as delegated divine representation, like Moses as Elohim to Pharaoh or David as Yahweh’s appointed shepherd, rather than proof that Jesus is Yahweh.

  1. Objects that biblical shepherd and Elohim language can describe appointed representatives, not necessarily identity with Yahweh.
