I am arguing that we have to take the very usage of the language of Jesus seriously to draw theological conclusions. You're arguing that we shouldn't because it could mean anything, because God can do anything.

No that is not the case. I've thought long about this, brother. It is God being God and described in a way that uses language created from the basis of humanity interacting with humanity. So we are going to get a tainted description due to that use of language. When you use a language used for human beings that implies more than one person and the language is used between more than one person, and then apply that to God who is not a human when God speaks with HIS OWN MANIFESTATION you are not going to get a perfect picture.
