The true followers of Jesus are those who prefer to hold to Jesus’ words rather than human ideas. We happily and confidently proclaim that being uniquely begotten of God by holy conception from the Holy Spirit in the human mother’s womb did NOT make Jesus the One True God. Jesus Himself confesses that only the Father is the One True God. The Father proclaims it. Yet it very much made Jesus the Son of God, with a special quality of divinity unique to Jesus above all other humans born of women. Divinity (being begotten from God Himself) is not denied by Jesus. Jesus denies that He is the One True God. God the Father and Jesus both proclaim that only the Father is the One True God. I am happy to follow God and His Son. If people hate following God, or His Son, that is their loss. If they prefer human ideas, that is their loss and their disobedience to the gospel which commands we adhere to Christ rather than human thinking.
