All mankind are children of God and therefore heirs to His kingdom. For this reason we are exhorted to become perfect, even as our Father in Heaven is perfect.
Matthew 5:48

Psalm 82 speaks of human judges. Not deified men. The judges died like men, after all.
Does "becoming perfect" mean achieving the ability to have children after we die and that those children will go on to become Gods?
I've never heard that from any Christian teacher.
As I read Matt 5 I see that the text is about love, not about becoming eligible to become a God.
Do you also believe in the LDS idea that you'll have children after you die and that they'll become Gods too?
I also read that Mormons believe that God is a man of flesh and bone and that he became "exalted" and that Mormons think they're following that same path.
I hope you'll forgive me for saying that Christians won't accept this line of thinking as representative of Christian theology. (But what am I thinking? You're probably plenty aware of that.)
