Well, yes and no, DH. I am included in that circle of love
in the way that Christ's humanity is included in that relationship. But as
the humanity of Christ is not divine, neither am I divine. What I am is
included in the humanity of the divine Christ and thus included in the eternal
fellowship and community of the Son with the Father in the Holy Spirit.
And because of the inseparable union of the person of Christ, his
humanity with his divinity, I will forever be included in the loving union of
the Trinity, the oneness of God.
Good question, though,
Bill

Moreover, John, if God is love and God is also
a singularity, like many people think of "one" in the statement "God is
one," then the greatest human _expression_ of that love would be narcissism:
extreme self love; for that would be to exemplify the love of God. Instead,
God is "one" -- and has been from eternity -- precisely because of the
other-centered love which exists between the Father for the Son and the
Son for the Father in the Holy Spirit. The oneness of God is
therefore not a number nearly so much as it is a unity:
the unifying
love of God in koinonia -- Father, Son, and

Good insight, Dude, I mean Bish; you're on a
roll.
