What is wrong in the word 'Trust'?
I wonder why no one mentioned it.
Two persons who doesn't trust each other can give themselves any title but 'real friends'.
A married couple can still live together even if one of them, if not both, doesn't trust the other.
Two real friends unified by mutual trust have no more two wills, but one will towards any outsider.
In the material world, two partners who found a company are also seen by outsiders (clients) as being one person. But, in this case, their union is not necessarily based on mutual trust. They need just to accept and sign a well-defined formal contract.
My point is simply to show that I personally wasn't surprised when Jesus says: "I and my Father are one". Even on earth two real friends look to any outsider as if they were one person with one will only (being unified perfectly by their mutual unlimited trust).
And, as I said earlier, explaining this fact to my students, 40 years ago, was considered as being a blasphemy by the men in charge of Catechism (Catholic Church).
