It was Jesus who said, "I and the Father are one," but it was you who inserted the term "entity," Retorth. You are inserting into the text something not found in the text in order to create a contradiction that is not there otherwise. Jesus never claims to be the same entity as the Father. Modalism is an ancient heresy long ago refuted.
Alright I agree that I added the word "entity" and that the word "entity" isn't found in passages that describe the above.
By the way, I had a read on Modalism and I can see that what I questioned you is in fact that which you mentioned. It is all part of Theology which, while an interesting read, doesn't mean anything to me because I disbelieve in god anyway. The way which we interpret the bible may differ but the bottom line is this:
Where is this god that supposedly exists?
