You and I Are Nothing Like Jesus

The author of john insists that jesus is god, and you and i are only creatures lost in sin and darkness. The term mono genes means single one or utterly unique. This is john's favourite word, since it incaptulates his whole message. So he suggests that thomas never receive the spirit, was never declared a disciple, was not commissioned by the risen jesus. And when the others told him that they had seen the lord, thomas, the doubter, as john pictures him, said, i don't believe it.
