Default The Godhead being one in purpose.

There are various scriptural accounts of the Father and the Son seemingly not being in agreement. For example:

Quote:
Luke 13:6-9
He spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
Here, the Father wants to destroy a wicked person, wanting to rid the earth of his influence. But the Son pleads for mercy, wanting more time to work with this person.

Thus, the Father appears to be all about justice and the letter of the law, while the Son sees things differently, seeking mercy.

Are these concepts one and the same and I am just not seeing it?
