you need to get your facts straight
No you need to get your facts straight, its not how we understand the bible today, its how it was understood 2000 years ago by the people it was written for
You're cherry picking again, read the whole chapter and verse and continue reading see below and see what it’s really talking about, what do you think being the “son of God means” to the Jews of that time, continue reading verse 37-39, this is why he was being stoned, Jesus made Himself as God the Jews evidently understood as the same as saying that he was equal with God. This expression he had often applied to himself. The meaning of this thus expressed: “You charge me with blasphemy
The works of his Father are those which God only can do. As Jesus did them, it shows that the name “Son of God,” implying equality with God, was properly applied to him. This shows conclusively that he meant to be understood as claiming to be equal with God. So the Jews naturally understood him John 10:39, and they were left with this impression on their minds.
Is very clear that the Jews were going to stone Jesus because He made Himself God
The answer of Jesus consists of two parts. The first John 10:34-36 shows that they ought not to object to his use of the word God, The second John 10:37-38 repeats substantially what he had before said, left the same impression, and in proof of it he appealed to his works.
The Jews again picked up rocks to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God.” 34 [o]Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’? 35 If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came, and scripture cannot be set aside, 36 can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37 If I do not perform my Father’s works, do not believe me; 38 but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize [and understand] that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” 39 [Then] they tried again to arrest him; but he escaped from their power.
