Calling Out Christianity

This thread is to see how many charges of "Blasphemy!!" will be leveled at me for expounding on my belief in the deification of the believers as a grand climax of God's full salvation.

Let representatives of Christianity come argue with the Bible about this. Or let them contemplate and reconsider what is plainly there in the Word of God about full salvation.

Ghost, the Forum's Bible tumping atheist, keeps bragging that the Christians have called me a blasphemer

Who disagress that if God wanted man NOT to be like God He would NOT have made man in His image and according to His likeness IN THE FIRST PLACE?

See Genesis 1:27,28.

Come on brothers and sisters in Jesus.
If God didn't want man to be LIKE Him in any way then why this ?

"And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness and let them have dominion . . . etc. etc.

And God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He reated them."

I am not saying this is man's deification.
I am saying that at this point isn't it obvious that God wants man to look like Himself and express Himself and reign over His creation as deputy authority like Himself.

Any blasphemy here yet brothers and sisters ??

Psssst! FMF, right about here, since I referred to myself, you're suppose to come in and charge "narcicism."

Let's start with the creation of man in the image of God and according to the likeness of God.

Doesn't that suggest that God wants all creation to look at man and see Himself made visible ? I think so.

Latter we are told that the image of the invisible God is Christ. So God man man . . . according to Christ. We see this from the beginning.

This is not deification of man.
But it is staging man for the purpose of expressing God and ruling on behalf of God over God's creation.

Any blasphemy here yet saints ?

While you all contemplate whether the blasphemy card should be whipped out here, here are a couple songs I wrote on these two themes.

1) God creating man in His own image.

2.) God making man according to Christ who is the image of the invisible God.

If any are puzzled why there is no response to Rajk999.
I don't read his posts anymore.
All that needs to be said by me to this person has already been said in the past..

So we agree up to now, that in creating of man God WANTED this creature to in some way LOOK like HIm, Express Him, and have deputy authority on His behalf.

Anyone disagree? (Rajk999 I ignore).


Think about Genesis 1:26,27. I'll be back.
And Ghost of a Duke is on the edge of his seat, the atheist hoping he can get Christians to anathemize me here.

So think carefully whose side you want to be on.

Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts; I am the First and I am the Last; besides me there is no God.

(Isaiah 44:6).

@Ghost-of-a-Duke

Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts; I am the First and I am the Last; besides me there is no God.

(Isaiah 44:6).

'The Bible says that God will grant everlasting life to those who believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. But this will not mean humans will become God. Each individual must depend upon God for everlasting life. Those who promise that humans can become God either do not understand the differences between the creature and the Creator or are deliberately perverting the truth of God.'

So far and up to this point NOTHING I have written in any way contradicts Isaiah 44:6.

It affirms it.

Okay then. We have in the beginning of the Bible God designing man to be according to His image and likeness.

No one has yet said this is a problem with blasphemy.

Now we have this man whom God created placed before something called "the tree of life".

Now I would say that JUST reading Genesis we probably would not know much about this "tree of life" . We may know something but not too much. We know that once man was joined to the evil lying one represented by the serpent, he was FORBIDDEN to eat of this "tree of life" .

I would wager that LATTER we realize that this "tree of life" represented not the created life but the eternal life of God Himself.

After all fallen man was "alienated from the life of God." (Eph. 4:18)

Any blasphemy here dar sisters and brothers in Christ? God wanted man to "eat" HImself or take in Himself as the uncreated and eternal life. That is why He placed the created man before "the tree of life" in Genesis chapter two.

God wanted man to take in God Himself as the divine and uncreated life.
Is there blasphemy in this thought Christianity ?
