Your content with a simple follow my forefathers rather than see what truth is.
You read but do not see. Tradition has made you blind to the words you do not wish to see.
Like when Jesus said only his Father is the true God. I assume you do understand the word ONLY, right?
You aren't reading what was written. Jesus is including Himself in that "only true God"....can't you see?
If you weren't so anxious to ignore the rest of the text, you'd understand what He is saying.
John 17:1-5
These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

Do you understand that John the Baptist was sent to prepare the way for OUR GOD?
You need to take the whole of what is written or you'll find that you miss the forest for the trees.
