Let me make it simple:
If God and Christ are in reality not of the same substance, then teaching that they are obscures the scriptures and keeps people from becoming like Jesus.
If God and Christ are in reality of the same substance, then teaching that they are not obscures the scriptures and keeps people from becoming like God.
If one is right, the other is abominable, which is why you think what we believe is abominable, and I'm OK with that, what you believe, I think is abominable, But, I still think you are a Christian, and I believe you are sincere in your misunderstanding of the scriptures. I wold be fine with you saying the same thing about me, but your side keeps trying to say i am not a "Christian" because I believe a doctrine you don't.
As I have told many:
"Reality Is. Our job is to get our perspective as close as we can to reality, thus we avoid pain, and come closer to God, who is the only one whose perspective and reality are the same thing. Like the Chinese, I shorten this to two words to express to people who know my philosophy. "Reality Is."
Elsie, Reality Is.
