I addressed that proof text in detail up thread.

Are husband and wife literally one? But they are to be 'one flesh' right?

Jesus simply stated that he and God his father were unified and he asked that just as he and God were unified, that his disciples would be one, too.

Jesus stated

Jhn 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Clearly Jesus is saying the believers would do greater works than he did.

If Jesus was God, then he promised that believers would do greater works than God.

Howver, if Jesus is not God but the son of God, then that prayer could come true.

Yeah, I also read you plainly deny the divinity of Jesus. That was all I needed to read; if you are not a Christian, what's the point of debating Christian theology with you?

One what? One FLESH. Their flesh becomes one when they have sex. Literally.

>> Jesus simply stated that he and God his father were unified and he asked that just as he and God were unified, that his disciples would be one, too. <<

One what? One CHURCH. The Son and the Father are one what?

They shall do greater works than Jesus did in the flesh, because they shall become the body of Christ.
