All supplied reference verses are purely speculative, regardless of what LSM says. No scripture says that we become God.
Rather we are "
made in His image." (Gen 1.26) "
We shall be like Him." (I John 3.2)
Here is a little known fact: WL started this teaching in the early 90's, calling it the "high peak truths of the recovery" as a distraction from the horrible scandal plaguing LSM at the time concerning his son Philip molesting the sisters and abusing the brothers while he was running LSM as the "Office Manager."
Here is the "foundational basis" for this teaching "to make man the same as He in life and nature" -- If I am a man, then my son is a man, hence God's own sons must also be "God in life." The "God in nature" is derived from 2 Peter 1.4 -- "you might become partakers of the divine nature."
Since WL has self-assumed deputy authority, akin to the so-called "vicar of Christ" at the Vatican, his eisegetical "stretch" thus becomes gospel truth within the confines of the recovery.
