Re: Biblical evidence for becoming God in life & nature?
There are frankly many sections of scripture which gave ample context for the writer to introduce "we become God in life & nature". (For example, I John 3.1-3) Eventually I concluded that we must also be cognizant of what the Bible does not say.
WL, using his "recovery" and "MOTA" themes, really felt like he was completing scripture for the Apostles. Via his exaggerated sense of self-worth, bordering on megalomania, he convinced himself that his own esoteric teachings were scripture. He alone was charged by God as His oracle to expose the failures and condemn the errors of the rest of the body of Christ. God had deputized him, and would honor everything WL taught, whether it was scriptural or not.
WL used inference, like a run-on sentence, to develop his teaching "we become God in life & nature." Follow along with me: This infers that, and that infers the following, and thus it is perfectly clear that "we become God in life & nature," but not in the Godhead! There you have it!
