"Oneness" as it pertains to "Oneness Theology" has to do with the Oneness of God..not a Unity of God and someone else.
God is One (Person). One in Number.

I know what "Oneness Theology" states. I'm talking about what we see in the Bible. I'm talking about how Jesus describes His oneness with the Father... in His own words.
John 10:30
30 I and my Father are one. (KJV)
John 10:38
38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. (KJV)
John 12:45
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. (KJV)
John 14:7-10
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. (KJV)
If we can't trust the words of Jesus to mean and imply what they clearly mean and imply... what can we trust? The only way to see "Oneness" as classical "Oneness Theology" presents it is... to impose Oneness Theology upon the text and argue that Christ's words and use of language can't be trusted... just as Rev. Blume admitted.
