Me:
He was speaking of His Father and Himself as the Divine "We".
You:
Prove it?
"We" in
John 14:23 refers to the speaker Jesus and His Father.
"If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him ..."
Up to this point you have "anyone" and "he" and
"Me" and
"My Father"
The
"We" to come is Jesus who is loved and His Father. The "anyone" and "he" is the destination to which the
"We" of Jesus and His Father will come.
" ... and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make an abode with him."
The abode is "he" or "anyone" or "him". The Dweller/s who will come TO "him" is the Father and Jesus -
"We".
It doesn't matter if a thousand angels appear in the Bible. In
John 14:23 the
"We" refers to Jesus' Father and Jesus Himself. That is the Father and the Son will come to
"him" and make an abode with
"him".
Angels are not spoken of anywhere in the whole chapter of 31 verses.
Also, where's the Holy Spirit {third person of God) in all this?
The Holy Spirit is mentioned as coming to dwell in the believers in verses 16 through 17.
"And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you forever, Even the Spirit of reality, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him, because He abides with you and shall be in you.
I will not leave you as orphans, I am coming to you." (vs. 16-18 )
If you read carefully you will see that this
"Another Comforter" is actually Jesus in another form. Jesus was abiding WITH them. Jesus in the form of the Spirit will be IN them.
" ... you know Him, because He abides with you and shall be in you."
In the very next breath, this one coming to be IN them is Jesus Himself coming to be in them (as the Spirit).
"I will not leave you as orphans, I am coming to you."
It is through the coming of the Spirit of reality, the another Comforter, that the
"We" of Jesus and His Father can come to them and make an abode with them.
Furthermore, I never said just one of the angels, I'm saying all of the angels; and, Satan was angry.
The important point here is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all three coming to indwell the believers.
Not a single verse in all of the Gospel of John speaks of any angel coming to indwell the believers. Their number or their anger or whatever ELSE about them is irrelevant to the matter of God coming TO the believers to live in them.
I did not say the angels were not important. They are ministering spirits sent forth to serve those who inherit salvation
(Hebrews 1:14).
"Are they [angels]
not ministering spirits, sent forth for service for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?" (Heb. 1:14)
But the God coming to the believers, not leaving them as orphans, but coming to make a living abode within them, is the triune God.
