This is the crux of the matter, all right. If you are right, then everything else follows. If we are literally the off-spring of God, spirit-children, of the same essence, then, imho, of course we will become Gods. However, such is not the understanding of Protestants and Catholics. We believe we are God's highest creation--his opus, his masterpieces. We are the children of our Artist-King...but we are not begotten of Him. Therefore, yes, we are his subjects.
