Malachi,
I personally cannot imagine how a christian can deny that Stephen literally saw Jesus sitting at God's right hand in Acts 7:55. Any objective person who does not know of a co-equal Trinity can clearly see here that Jesus and God are 2 completely separate entities.

What exists outside of God is not God. Bottom line.

What's most ironic is that they will argue that theophanies were literally seen, but that Acts 7:55 does not speak of a literal viewing.
