Jesus and His God: JOHN

This page contains links to extended discussions concerning the various scriptures in the Gospel of John. This is not an exhaustive index of scriptures cited on our sites. God willing, we will be adding more links as we are able.

This page will be presenting links to studies of various scriptures on all of our various sites. It is a work in progress. This is not an index of each time a scripture is referenced, but it only gives links to studies that discuss a scripture to some degree of depth.

Please note that this endeavor is to include scriptures related to all Biblical topics, not just those often related to the trinity, oneness etc.
