Refute what? Yes, those words are in the bible. Whether or not you believe they were God-inspired is a whole different subject...but why bother refuting such a statement? In the bible, Jesus was killed by the Jews for blasphemy. If you're a Christian, you don't refute that. Not even a BAD Christian refutes that. If you're going to choose a passage from the bible and ask why Christians refute it...you need to choose one that's a bit more controversial.

this is a very shallow question. You obviously have not read your bible Yourself very much cuz if you did this question would not be stated as it is. This Jesus God relationship is obviously a relationship that can not be understood entirely be by mortals using language to communicate. There are verses which support both positions.
I will tell you that there are not any debatable positions on our orders to be in one accord.
So in the name of Jesus Christ consider yourself ordered to stop with this continual one upsmenship that separates foolish believers and pursue a path that unites us, this action is an abomination in the eyes of God.
NOW WE SEE IN A MIRROR DARKLY

which one of the many thousandsof man invented doctrins are you refering to... There is only One Church, The Church of which Jesus The Christ is The Head. And only those who come to God in The Way He proscribes are of The Body of The One True Church... because they have received God's free gift of Salvation... The are the ones of The True Christian Faith.

You are correct in the sense that Jesus is NOT God. However, he is/was the Son of God as the scriptures make its clear. (Mt 16:16)
According to John 10:33, when charged by opposers with ‘making himself a god,’ Jesus’ reply was: “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said: “You are gods”’? If he called ‘gods’ those against whom the word of God came, and yet the Scripture cannot be nullified, do you say to me whom the Father sanctified and dispatched into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, I am God’s Son?” (Joh 10:31-37)
Jesus there quoted from Psalm 82, in which human judges, whom God condemned for not executing justice, were called “gods.” (Ps 82:1, 2, 6, 7) Thus, Jesus showed the unreasonableness of charging him with blasphemy for stating that he was, not God, but God’s Son.
This charge of blasphemy arose as a result of Jesus’ having said: “I and the Father are one.” (Joh 10:30) That this did not mean that Jesus claimed to be the Father or to be God is evident from his reply, already partly considered.
Furthermore, The oneness to which Jesus referred must be understood in harmony with the context of his statement. He was speaking of his works and his care of the “sheep” who would follow him. His works, as well as his words, demonstrated that there was unity, not disunity and disharmony, between him and his Father, a point his reply went on to emphasize. (Joh 10:25, 26, 37, 38; compare Joh 4:34; 5:30; 6:38-40; 8:16-18.) As regards his “sheep,” he and his Father were likewise at unity in their protecting such sheeplike ones and leading them to everlasting life. (Joh 10:27-29; compare Eze 34:23, 24.)
Jesus’ prayer on behalf of the unity of all his disciples, including future ones, shows that the oneness, or union, between Jesus and his Father was not as to identity of person but as to purpose and action. In this way Jesus’ disciples could “all be one,” just as he and his Father are one.—Joh 17:20-23.

okay so what is your question? anyways Jesus never said I am God, worship me!!! He said i am the son of god, follow me, worship my father(who is god) so get your facts straight. If your going to quote please also get the quote of Jesus saying he is god-but you can't because he never said that.The Jews crucified him because they feared him and and thought he was committing blasphemy. They didn't and they still don't believe in him as son of man.
