Two Hebrew bible scholars agree with the meaning that I have proposed.

The bible confirms what I say in many ways. It is okay if you don't accept it very few ever will, except in the dispensation of the fulness of times when it becomes utterly undeniable.

That is fine with me. I am drawn to the Mormons because of the fruits of the spirit that I see in them. Also many of the unique doctrines of the LDS have been confirmed to me by the Holy Spirit long before I also knew that they were Mormon doctrine.

Good, that is it too.

Isaiah 45:6 "I am the Lord, and there is none else" If you take everything that I said within the context of everything else that I said your analysis becomes incorrect. Your neighbor is yourself only in the sense that nothing is not God. God is the one (numerically singular) self of all.

It only by taking these words precisely that the truth is derived. This truth has been confirmed by direct revelation.

Isaiah 45:6 "I am the Lord, and there is none else" If the above verse is taken as a precise mathematical specification (no weasel wording allowed) then it literally states that God exactly equals the mathematical universal set. In other non mathematical terms this means that {God exists and nothing at all besides God exists}. Ultimately my understanding of the meaning of this verse does not come from Math, or English or even Hebrew. It comes from direct revelation by God himself.

The message that I am proposing is very difficult and few ever get it. I know the truth of this message in very many different ways. Ultimately the one way that carries the most weight is extensive confirmation by the Holy Spirit. Here is a very tiny little hint that carries almost no weight at all. If you very carefully study Galatians 5:14 you will see that it is not saying that one should love one's neighbor as one loves oneself. It is saying to love one's neighber as oneself. If you take this verse to say exactly and precisely what it means and mean exactly and precisely what it says then one can not insert any words that are not already there.

Isaiah 45:6 I am the Lord and there is none else. (Nothing besides God exists) John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. (One and the same as, numerical singularity) Galations 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (Your neighbor IS yourself) The Holy Spirit will confirm the above. Moroni 10:4 if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. Because I have directly experienced this singularity (mystical union with God) hundreds of times, I am pretty sure that my interpretation of the above verses can not be incorrect. By "union with God" I mean the case when one's will and God's will become one-and-the-same. It is in this sense that I refer to numerical singularity. I am not saying that human individuality will ever cease to be.

Numerical Singularity is the most literal truth, any understanding beyond this (such as the trinity of the Godhead, or the multiplicity of individual humans) is more figurative.

Yes. This is also confirmed in Isaiah 45:6 (kjv) I am the Lord, and there is none else. Only God exists, and nothing at all besides God exists. I have directly experienced this mystical "union with God" very many (at least hundreds of) times.

It is easy to weasel word one's understanding of any statement, scriptural or otherwise. It seems to me that the best way to avoid either intentional or unintentional misinterpretation might be to use literal meanings. The Holy Spirit has confirmed in my heart that the meaning of "one" cited in the above passage is numerical singularity. In other words one-and-the-same.
