>> Tell me, CB, are you perfectly united to God as Jesus was?<<

Absolutely not. Jesus was God.

>> “That they may be one, as you and I are one.”<<

Are you your husband? When you got married were you “one flesh”? Did that make you your husband?

Making me one with God does not make me God.

Yet Jesus prayed that we would be one, as He and the Father are one. He prayed that we would abide in Him and He in us as the Father abides in Him.

It is silly beyond belief and I can’t say it enough to think that the church teaches that we become God in the sense in which you would like to think.

When Jesus confronts Paul, He says, “Saul, why do you persecute me?” but Saul had not persecuted Jesus. He was persecuting His followers.
