John 10-28-30 (Two gods)
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and my Father are one. (Jesus + god= 2 gods)
John 17:21-22-23 (Fourteen gods)
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one. (God + Jesus + 12 disciples=14 gods)
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

How observant of you, however, it's not 2 Gods, nor is it 14, It's just 3.

John 10-28-30 is say that Jesus and the Father are one. It is not saying that they are two different gods.
and
John 17:21-22-23 is talking about the Christians (not gods).
You do have to try to understand the Holy Trinity.

John 10:30 The Father and I are one."
The "I" is Jesus he's the one talking. His Father is God. Just one God.
John 17:21-22-23
I am not God but he does dwell within me, cause I asked him to fill that void with His love.
I pray others can see Him in me.
He loves me all dirty faced.

GOD the Father, GOD the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT are ONE. In the John 17: 21-23 Jesus Christ saying that they may be brought together in the same spiritual life. Also that they may united in the common belief of the truth in the word of GOD.

John 10:28-30 is Jesus and his father but that is only one God because Jesus was God that came from heaven to earth so he is the same God that made earth. Jesus deciples were not Gods they were helping Jesus to spread the doctrine around

God and Jesus are one. Jesus is the living word. In John 1:1 it speaks of this concept.
The Word Became Flesh
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Meaning Jesus was there in the beginning, he was not yet flesh until God sent him to Earth.

BIG misreading of John 17. Jesus was asking the Father that the apostles be in unity, not that they would be gods.

Jesus is not a god. And to think that is idolatry.. The disciples are also not gods, again that constitutes idolatry.
The all believe the same thing that God is God and that Jesus is his son..

One God, there is also a section that says wisdom of this world is foolish 1Co 3:19 God and Christ are one, Jesus is the son of man God in the flesh. We are all a part of God as His children there is only one God in the Bible and no we are not pagan, just as you are not as wise as you seem to believe.
