Further, it says in no uncertain terms that man is the offspring of God. And it clearly also teaches that God came to earth, was born of a woman, grew from childhood to manhood and endured the human condition in every way and died at Calvary and rose physically from the tomb on the third day to rise bodily to the Presence of the Father. This same process, of birth, life, death, resurrection, and exaltation is the process all men who are to be exalted in the Presence of God shall go through.

Now, we can call that whatever we want I guess. We can say that man won't become a god (whatever that means). But if we are in denial of any of the truths I've mentioned above, we are in denial of the Holy Bible.

We allow people to express themselves and their personal opinions or assumptions. People will be satisfied for what will be given in the end. We can only hope, through continuous learning, they will come to change that opinion and learned it was indeed HIS love for children to be like HIM and His beloved Son; being a body of voices in unison with the Godhead.
