The Scriptures cannot be discredited. So if God calls people gods (and they are the people to whom he gave the Scriptures),

37
If I'm not doing the things my Father does, don't believe me.
38
But if I'm doing those things and you refuse to believe me, then at least believe the things that I'm doing. Then you will know and recognize that the Father is in me and that I am in the Father."
