Contradiction with John 8:58
John 1:34 declares Jesus as the Son of God, while John 8:58 suggests Jesus equates himself with God by using the phrase "I am," which is associated with God's self-identification in Exodus 3:14.
John 8:58: Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Contradiction with John 14:28
John 1:34 identifies Jesus as the Son of God, implying divinity, while John 14:28 states, "my Father is greater than I," which some interpret as indicating a hierarchy or distinction between Jesus and God.
John 14:28: Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
Contradiction with John 10:30
John 1:34 implies relational status as Son, whereas John 10:30, "I and my Father are one," suggests unity or sameness in essence, which may seem contradictory to the concept of separate personhood.
John 10:30: I and [my] Father are one.
