With full respect to all what was said here.

I heard recently good example of this kind problematic discussion.
" I have accent wall in my room. This wall is red like tomato. In my refrigerator is tomato. So, supposedly this wall is also tomato?"

Main problem with brother Witness Lee, (who has put together many things in very good teachings) was, that he wanted to find new words to describe spiritual reality.
We should be faithful and use only biblical verses and don't go too far in mind and philosophy, which WL did.
We can find many verses about likeness, sanctification, being perfected, Transformed into his image, etc.
But!!! When he used this expression it sounds like heresy.
I know all those verses he used to confirm it. And so what?
We can just have those verses and enjoy them.
As children of God we can grow, we can be similar to Him.
I can even buy all his explanations about gaining this similarity, life , etc. But
When it comes to banners or those statements- Big NO!

BTW, banners is another topic.
