The verse in my first post was probably everything you wanted but these may be helpful also :
interconnection of God with his Creation
Since you stated to have to work with his christianity, I want to point out that there are quite many different christian ideologies and so he probably falls into one group. Maybe you can expand his sight with christian ideologies that are closer to the LOO like panteism and panentheism, which unite God with its Creation.
Also I'd say the bible contains quite the many influences and so it is not hard to use a bit of whatever to justify opposites. Many read the bible and find to see God as One with All, and others don't and see instead much like a monarch of power. Some find to see inspiration to forgive and love in the example of Jesus, while others find sentences to justify rejecting and to hold spiritual elitism.

everything visible and everything invisible.... Before anything was created, he existed, and he holds all things in unity.
