Apostolic But Not Believing Jesus is The Father?

One with the Father is not the same as BEING the Father.

If a man were one with God... would he just be himself... or would he also be God? Hmmm.

It depends upon in what sense we're considering.

One with God indicates unity-- a unity that implies a certain sense of individuality, that is given up, surrendered, for the sake of the relationship.

One cannot be with himself. One can be alone. One can be united with someone else, but one cannot be with himself.

So I ask do you believe Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, is the Father?

Michael the Disciple believes Jesus Christ is the Father, citing the KJV translation of Isaiah 9:6.

Is Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, the FATHER?

If Jesus Christ the Son of God is the Father, of what or of whom is He the Father?

Excellent point. I believe that the man Jesus Christ, the Son of God isn't the Father as it relates to the fact that He is an authentic human being like you and me. However, Jesus might be said to also be the Father, only by virtue of the Oneness He shares with the Father.
