Thank you for your response; you appear to make sense but give me your take on the scripts below…and by the way; I was quoting St. John 10 v34…
You said
"The scriptures are not teaching that - also as far as GOD recreating himself.. I would disagree again."
In Genesis chapter 1 and 2 God created man and man was IMMORTAL until he disobeyed God, at that point death was brought into the picture, including the second death. God begins His recovery plan, or plan of salvation to continue to make this man completely like Him.
So please tell me how you would answer these scriptures
Psalm 82
1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
God stands in the congregation of the mighty and judges among the gods. If there is only one God, who is God judging? Now He goes on to show the characteristics of a certain species, like they judge unjustly, they accept wickedness and don't defend the poor and fatherless. God says they don't understand and walk in darkness. Now this is what Jesus quoted in verse 6; God said that man are gods and are all children of the Most High (but because of sin) we are dying like men and falling like one of the princes (Satan).
Psalm 8
4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
King David ask why God is even concerned with man being that He made us a little lower than the angels in statue because the angels live forever; but God has crowned man with glory and honour. But the answer is that God made man to have dominion over the works of His hands and has put all things under our feet (really Jesus but soon us if we do it right).
What are the works of God's hands, well His hands created the sun, the moon, the universe, the nations, man, animals, etc, and so on. So we, man, is suppose to have dominion over all of these things. We should be able to do like Jesus when He told the storm to be still. Can we do this? No, not now, not yet because we fail; but Jesus is our redemption and we will be like Him at His coming.
If the sun is beaming down to hard, we are suppose to have the power to turn it down like a man turns down the heat in his home. At the very least pull a cloud in the way of the sun. We are suppose to judge well because in the future we will judge even angels as mentioned in 1st Corinthians 6 (v1-3).
Paul told us in Romans chapter 8 (v28-29), "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." Jesus is the first born from the dead, but He will have man brothers (this includes women remember in the Kingdom there is no male or female) among Him. If we will be His brothers, and He is God, WHAT DO WE have to be? God! The question then is, will you be one?
When Jesus came out of the grave, He told His disciples that all power was given to Him in Heaven and in Earth (Matthew 28 v16-17). And I got to tell you we will have this same power if we eat of the Tree of Life, which is to follow His commandments, keep His statutes, obey His laws, and love Him and our fellow brother.
These are some scriptures to think about. Let me know what you think about them; the bible is very conclusive on this topic.
You said… "He gave us some similarities, however.. even in our perfect state - Adam - we were not YAHWEH - We created nothing".....
Wasn't that the sinful attempt? tempted to be GOD? know good and evil... we didn't know of evil meaning we weren't all-knowing."
While this is true, now we have the opportunity to eat from the Tree of Life and avoid the lie that we will be like God knowing good and evil and not die; but we will be able to have Holy Knowledge, and not tainted knowledge of good and evil that was given by Satan (a fallen angel).
-
Remember that they wanted to stone Jesus because He said He was the son of God. If He is the son of God that makes Him God, correct? Same thing today, if I say I'm a son of God, that makes me god, because I walk in the spirit of God, not that I have ALL POWER like God. Our day is coming…
I would love to rap with you about this via phone if you'd like, but I hope this edifies you my brother. Peace in Jesus name.
