I have a question for you.
First a little backround. Now you really seem not to want to explain how the Father and the Son are the Divine "We" in John 14. And you don't seem to want to explain the plural pronoun "Us" in John 17.
Have you considered also that Jesus strongly indicated that He and the Father were "two" as well as one?
First we see that He and His Father are one:
" I and the Father are one." (John 10:40)
But consider John 8:17,18
"And in your law also it has been written that the testimony of two men is true:
I am One who testifies concerning Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies concerning Me." (John 8:17,18)
Based on this passage am I justified to believe that the Father and the Son are "one" and the Father and the Son are also "two" ?

No.
if it was good enough for Jesus Christ to relate "two" to Him and His Father, why is it a not for me?
Jesus spoke of "We" and of "Us" and of "two" in relation to He and the Father.
Is there some strong dogma that dictates these passages should be erased from my Bible? Why "No" above ?

Christ and disciples are one and also many
God and Christ are one and also two.
All still separate and distinct entities
ONE does not mean one and the same. It means oneness.

God is one entity revealed in many manifestations and three, if you like, offices.
Manifestations:
Burning bush
Pillar of fire
Dove
Melchesideck
Tongues of fire
Etc
Offices
Father, son, spirit.
Same person reveallng himself in three official ways.
Only two eligible for worship, Father and son.
Only two offices post new creation Father and spirit
The (office of) son shall hand over all things to the father. No need for that office. There is no such thing as "the eternal son" anywhere in the bible.
There are the one single person, one god, revealing himself through the millennia. The son is the "veil of flesh", he is "the right arm laid bare" he is god himself wrapped in flesh and descended lower than the angels.
Hear oh Israel the Lord your God is ONE.

Originally posted by divegeesterAll the manifestations or offices are not and can not all be called God as well. The burning bush for example is not God. Same way Christ is not God but came with the power and authority of God. God is manifested in nature, but God retains His separatenes and distinctness

I didn't say they were, by the way.
