    "You will be as gods"

    Bible writers consistently described groups of individuals as “one” figuratively in the sense of their being “united in will and purpose.” Here’s how one respected trinitarian reference book states it: “‘One’ also expresses the unity between Christ and the Father (Jn 10:30), the union between...
