Note 72 at Joh 15:23: This is one more verse in a growing list of scriptures where Jesus equated any form of rejection of Him or who He claimed to be as a rejection of God the Father (see note 8 at Joh 5:23 and note 3 at Joh 10:30). Any group who claims to have access to God the Father without exalting Jesus to an equal position is completely deceived.
