Linguistically two persons are in union here.
For example, if I said, "I and my father are in a boat." How many persons are in a boat? Two.
Christ is stressing His coinherent perichoresis with the Father. THEY are one.
One thing alone isn't "one" with anything, it's alone, single. However, two things can be "one" in a categorical sense and thereby establish a "oneness".
Note, Jesus didn't say, "I, the Father, am one."  |
I give up, no matter how many times God out of his mouth insists that he is one, you trinitarians will insist that he is three.
It is hopeless to quote any scripture, for no scripture is safe from being manipulated and twisted to say the opposite of what it says.
