The meaning of God exists as three persons

[mikeforjesus]

Or the point is that the pharisees accused Jesus wanted to take part of God role in the sense of having given honor given to Him which while God gave that honor to many others before calling them gods did but He actually is God so is right.

John 8:19 Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?”
Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”

This explains the Father is not as though another distinct from the Son but is His source

Or the meaning in John 10:31-38 is they did understand Him to say He is God and by mentioning that the law called others gods was not saying that it is similar that he is just a god in same sense but the point is to make the point to remember the law called them gods because they were in office representing messiah as God to come that they were called gods only because of representing God that He is just showing to teach they were called gods because they were be a shadow of messiah God who would come as shown from Elicotts commentary for english readers below

Elicotts commentary for english readers
(36) Whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world.—Better, Whom the Father sanctified, and sent into the world. The tense refers to the time of His consecration to His Messianic work, and to the Incarnation, which was the commencement of it.
Because I said, I am the Son of God.—He had not said this in express words, but, as we have seen, it is directly implied in John 10:29-30, and the Jews had so understood what He said (John 10:33).

So far, then, the argument is simply a technical one, such as formed the staple of those customary in Rabbinic schools, and based on the letter of the Scriptures. The law (Psalm) applied the term “Elohim” (gods) to men representing God; no word of that Scripture could fail to hold good; how much more, therefore (a minori ad majus),could the term Son of God be applied to Him who was not a man consecrated to any earthly office, but consecrated by God, and sent into the world to represent God to man. (Comp. Note on John 1:18.) Their charge of blasphemy is, on their own principles, without the shadow of foundation. But in these words there is a deeper meaning than this technical one. When we speak of “men representing God,” we are already in thought foreshadowing the central truth of the Incarnation. Priests who offered sacrifices for sins, and kings who ruled God’s people, and prophets who told forth God’s will, were consecrated to their holy office because there was the divine in them which could truly be called “god.” Every holy life was in its degree a type of the Incarnate life of the Son of God. But He was the ideally true Priest sacrificing Himself for the world, the ideally true Prophet declaring God’s will in its fulness, the ideally true King ruling in righteousness. Every holy life was as a ray of the divine glory manifest in human flesh, but all these rays were centred in the nimbus of glory which rested as a crown on the head of Jesus Christ.

But actually I think He is just making the point as psalm says they were considered as gods because they were children of the Most High that the word of God comes to them to give them power so if they are gods because of that that they should consider He is more than just a man just as they were gods as God was with them to make them His children by evidence working among them and He is actually more than that just a child of God but He is Son of God in sense of coming from Him to be part of His own being and not separate being that the prophets prophesied of Him and by His works they ought to believe what He says.

And it makes sense more so a point being made is that others were called gods because they were representing in office God to have His authority to make judgement which includes priests that it includes them to forgive sin though others were too as God as in office of judges and priests to to forgive sin as psalm 82 where it says it says He judges among the gods so they are considered so as acting in the place of God but they are not actually so but they are called gods as they are representing God what only He can do so if they are called gods because God gave them authority to be called gods because of who they are representing how much the Son of God who is actually God from the same being since He has received power from God to do the signs that they had to consider others whatever they say of themselves as having authority as gods because God was with them aiding to testify of them by their works that their authority is legitimate so they ought to believe in Him what He says that He is God because of the works the Father which is the part of Him that has the power to make the Son do and the Son talking to the Father is not to another being but because He arranged that He is to access from Him when He needs which obviously involves thought to be communication and making it so that whatever thought He has there will be a response to what is stored before the Son to know which is the meaning of the Son talking to the Father

 

[mikeforjesus]

To be simplistic and explain shorter the point is that since the word of God came to them that gave them power and called them gods because by giving that power they are representing Him according to the title that God gives that is appropriate. In the same manner it is fitting more for whom the Father sanctified and sent being the Son of God as He is that part of Him begotten coming from Him to be accepted as God to be regarded for who He is special as they because of works and to be believed by Him because of His works that only God can do that He is who He says He is.

Christianity does not teach Jesus Christ was just a created being but He is the creator Himself. John 1 says in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. All things were made through Him. The word is part of God as Him. The bible does not teach more than 1 God. We are made in image of trinity as genesis 1 says which proves God is 3 in a sense of us having 3 parts soul which you dont see that has body to reveal and mind and spirit. Jesus says he who has seen Me has seen the Father and I and My Father are one therefore being one God. Jesus praying to the Father just means as man because He chose to be limited He made Him dependable to have to communicate to that part of Himself that He left that He arranged before He comes to give instructions called the Father that He is allowed to know things when He obeys.

Christ in the book of Daniel coming to the ancient of days means christ now sits in His position as before to return to glory He had with the Father to know all things and is said they brought Him near probably the angels meaning to put Him in position for who He is truly in position as worship belongs to Him as He is one with the Father for sake of honouring to show this human christ who others lived seeing Him deserves to be worshipped as before the Father being part of Him to have knowledge would still exist in heaven because He still made way to manage by instructions to keep knowledge there which He can access at any time that He made to manage while the Son is on earth not to know all He does that He managed to do in heaven but He sits in heaven to now have the glory He had with the Father to know all things and to show His full glory as ancient of days to men and now in glorified human body to be like us which all who lived at His time recognise and all redeemed men to serve Him. Or the ancient of days according to some is the Son preincarnate nature existing before His coming to earth but I think can be considered the Father where His knowledge is kept ruling heaven so that He still existed in heaven that way.

Mark 8:34-38
34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

If Jesus comes in the glory of His Father it is because He is one being with the Father that persons do not mean separate equal entities that are somehow different but work together as one but only if they are manifestations of the one being.

The below scripture shows christians do not believe the Father and Son are different beings the Father not being separate from the Son but one being that He is inside to be part of Him. For there can only be one God because God is the source and the source existing always and obviously there can only be one source and there can only be one most powerful being.

John 14:9-11
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the
Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

But why do you think it says they brought the Son of Man before the ancient days ? Does that mean perhaps they exist separately yet they are one?
I think it could be the meaning of bringing the Son of Man before the ancient of days means He is returning to glory as Jesus said He comes in the glory of His Father as God still existed as the Father in heaven in the sense before He left He left His power to execute rule and could have left an image for angels to know of how to rule heaven in all scenarios while the Son was on earth.

 

[mikeforjesus]

I believe when it says they brought the Son of Man before the ancient of days it just means as Man because He was not united fully with His source of all power and knowledge known as the Father He is being brought before Him to return back to having submission to that to return to His knowledge with the Source while still He is having new human body that dwells also that the angels and man may also see Him and touch Him now to live Him not just perceive to see Him only Spiritually or to see a image known as Face of the Father only part of Him seeking to reveal Himself and communicate but not to know Him fully as when looking at whole person of Jesus.
Or it is by looking into christ to express His character known by the word of God being expressed in Him it is like tunnel to see more of Him to be able to picture the whole of Him Spiritually.
