The concept that Jesus and God “are One”was introduced into the in the 3rd century. Then in 325AD this concept was approved by Roman Emperor Constantine in order to unify the Roman Empire.

I think there are two or three possible explanations for what Thomas said. A caveat would be, unless we could ask Thomas himself, we can't know for sure. That being said, I can see one possibility being that Thomas addresses Jesus as “my Lord” and then acknowledges God working through him (“and my God”), much like Jesus earlier said, “He who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). This seems sort of related to what you said, but without reading too much into it that would flip what we know about Thomas and what he knew on its head. It seems to make the most sense to me if it were an exclamation of astonishment in the form of doxology (like Hallelujah). When we consider the context, the narrative emphasis is not that Thomas doubted Jesus’ divine identity, but that he doubted the resurrection (John 20:25: “Unless I see… I will not believe”). Jesus’ reply in verse 29, “Because you have seen me, you have believed”, confirms that what Thomas now believed was Jesus’ resurrection. Nowhere in the passage does John say, “And from that day forward Thomas believed Jesus was God.” If Thomas is literally calling Jesus “my God” here in any fashion, it would appear to clash with what Jesus had just said to Mary in verse 17 which she was to tell the disciples about having his own God whom he was going to be ascening to. Unless you interpret Thomas’s words differently, there’s tension. Also, consider what John says right after this in verse 31: “These things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.” If John’s whole point was that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, then Thomas’s confession is most naturally read as aligning with that, not as overturning it by suddenly declaring Jesus to be God.

This is right- The Father who is God dwells inside Jesus Christ. Making the invisible God visible. John concludes three verses down in 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. What did Peter say? But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven

So how do you explain Jesus claiming pre existence and sharing the same glory as God

There's a problem with mutual in dwelling applying to the disciples as the divinity may logically be applied to them which is not acceptable.

I am in human, human is in me. If you have seen me you have seen himan biblical nature for Jesus is meme organism. YHWH is breath in, breath out. . John 1:1 In beginning was the Logos .... Logos from greek: thought, word, speech and reasoning. ... the Logos became flesh. John 1:14. not the "God position",. Logos is ecosystem or environment for meme organism to grow, mutate, evolve speciate, reproduce. John 3:6. flesh gives birth to flesh, meme organism gives birth to meme organism.

Is the Word the Holy Spirit? Or would that be a separate entity and the Word is not an entity but a medium?

The English word for this is atonement. Jesus is atoned to the Father, and invites everyone to be reborn in the spirit to render ourselves atoned (mutual indwelling) to the Father as Jesus is.

Good analises. I agree with this. One in "essence" or "wil" not as being exactly the same Person.

It’s like saying “you have your mother’s eyes”. You don’t literally have her eyes (unless they were transplanted). The memory of her is in you.

Hey Doc. If the account in John is accurate. Then Then the account in Luke is false. In Luke Jesus appeared to all the 11 including Thomas then ascended. In John is not. No?

In Exodus god declares who they are. Justice, Jealously, Salvation, Mercy. These things can also be human.
