According to the non-biblical Nicene Creed, which most of Christianity accepts as doctrine, God the Father and Jesus Christ are one and the same. Yet in John 7:17, Jesus states, "If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself." This suggests that there is a choice of the doctrine coming from God the Father or Jesus, but if the non-biblical Nicene Creed is to be accepted they are both one and the same and therefore there is no choice, which suggests that Jesus was deceiving the Jews by implying that there was a choice. Would Jesus deceive anyone or is it the non-biblical Nicene Creed that is doing the deceiving?
