1. read john 14-6-11 and you find jesus saying I'm in my Father.
2. we are in the father we are one with The father ok but how?
you need to understand your basic belief go against what you type.
you believe God is One person who playes modes while there is literal over 2.5 billion christians in this world.
so how are we One? well guess what the same way like scripture used but you reject it for The Godhead.
we are many people but One with Christ.
Well at least we agree on being One in Christ
God is One Person...Jesus who deals with His creation the same way we deal with family...close and extended...
I deal with my daughter as a Dad....I deal with my wife as a husband....I deal with my co-workers a as a partner....
3 different ways of interacting but ONE PERSON...
God is the same...HE is our creator,....He is our redeemer(in His flesh)...He is our Comfortor
3 different ways of interacting but ONE PERSON...Jesus
When Jesus tells His disciples they are looking at the Father....they aren't asking about His image...they are asking to see the Father toe which Jesus replies...."you now see Him" your looking at Him.
How can you prove that these "church fathers who studied under the disciples" ever did...prove they weren't the Nicolatians which also studied under the disciples and went after their own heresies...you can't so I take that with a grain of salt. Scripture is my guide and the Holy Ghost is my instructer.
As you say there are 3.5 billion or so believers in Christ but they won't all be going in the rapture...many are called(3.5 billion and counting) but few are chosen.
We are to make our election sure...which kind of kills that once saved always saved theory.
