    Is that Harold Camping posting as Me4Him, or has Origen come back from the grave? And, no, I don't care if you consider Origen as having been dead or asleep.

    I have debated Muslims in the past. Some of them are able to quote Scripture. Do you align yourself with them because of their ability to quote Scripture? Quoting Scripture is not a distinctive of being a Baptist.

    Your thinking and logic is warped. It is the same thinking as Satan.

    Isaiah 14:12-14 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
    13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

    From some time near Satan's inception his one main goal has been to attain godhood. Of course he will never succeed. There is only one God. But Satan has put in the minds of people from Eve, to Mormons, to WOF people like Benny Hinn and others, that they will be gods. This is absolute heresy.

    Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

    Isaiah 43:10-11 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

    Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

    Isaiah 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

    1 Timothy 6:15-16 Jesus Christ Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

    There is only one God! To say otherwise is blasphemy.
    He gave them "dominion" that is to be good stewards over the earth. It was satan who told them that they were gods. Thus you believe in a Satanic doctrine.
    Says who? Is this another message from Satan?
    This privilege is given to them that are heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Those that are born again are part of the family of God, but that doesn't make them god. To even suggest such is blasphemy.
    And so the believers will. But that doesn't make them gods.
    That is not how Adam began. Are you a Mormon?
    Adam never had a throne. He was created by God on the sixth day, and in the same day put in the Garden of Eden. Don't you bother to read your Bible?
    God sits on His throne. In the millennial Kingdom, though we may rule with him, to suggest that we will rule as gods, is blasphemous. There is only one God. You are committing the same sin as Satan continues to do.
    No it won't. Do you understand English and its literary devices. The expression "AS the waters cover the sea," is a similie, a comparison. It does not say that any water will cover the earth as you suggested. It does say that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the earth, and that is all.

    That's rich, coming from a person who believes that you can't understand scripture unless you add your own allegorical layer on top of it.

    Having God work in us and being conformed to the image of God does not mean there is no longer a distinction between God and us. These quotes do not mean that we as believers attain divinity or have a divine nature.

    When Jesus speaks in Jn. 10.34 (which was also posted by you but I left it out to keep this brief), it is a quote from Ps. 82.6 and it was a rebuke: "you are like gods but you will die like men." This was a reference to the judges that were supposed to dispense God's justice but had failed. Judges were were supposed to be God's representatives of His justice on earth. Jesus is saying if even these unjust judges can be called gods, then he certainly can be the Son of God. Jesus is in no way saying that men actually have a nature like God's.

    I think this thread has run 2-3 courses and now is into areas verging on heresy and certainly not baptistic theology.

    Will cut this short. If someone would like to question the deity of Christ over in the Other religions forum, I think even the folks there would shame you.
