Yeah, I also read you plainly deny the divinity of Jesus. That was all I needed to read; if you are not a Christian, what's the point of debating Christian theology with you?

>> Are husband and wife literally one? But they are to be 'one flesh' right? <<

One what? One FLESH. Their flesh becomes one when they have sex. Literally.

>> Jesus simply stated that he and God his father were unified and he asked that just as he and God were unified, that his disciples would be one, too. <<

One what? One CHURCH. The Son and the Father are one what?

>> Clearly Jesus is saying the believers would do greater works than he did. If Jesus was God, then he promised that believers would do greater works than God. However, if Jesus is not God but the son of God, then that prayer could come true. <<

They shall do greater works than Jesus did in the flesh, because they shall become the body of Christ.

You'd better read Romans 10:9,10.

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

There is nothing there that says one has to believe that Jesus is God in order to be saved. In fact it states that you have to confess (mind and heart as one) the LORD (not God) Jesus and to believe that God (not Jesus) raised him from the dead. (Do you really believe that God died? If you believe that Jesus is God you have to also believe that God died.)

One what? One FLESH. Their flesh becomes one when they have sex. Literally.

Literally they are separate entities, separate bodies, one penetrating the other. the use of "one" is to indicate unity not being identical.

They shall do greater works than Jesus did in the flesh, because they shall become the body of Christ.

So you're ok promulgating the doctrine that NT believers do greater works than God, is that right?
