truth does not make us become "a part of God", he is
still him and we are still us, hopefully a sanctified and
purified us - before Jesus' return. The bride and the

Maybe this is what is wrong with using "person" when referencing God. I don't know. I am certainly, however, that John 17:21 makes it clear that we have a shared existence with the Godhead. I Cor 2:11 ff plainly teach that an understanding of the mind of God is not possible apart from possession of His Spirit. For us, God is not over there and we are over here.
