A lot of things can line up to the Bible, putting ideas onto the text rather than drawing them from the text is something that the Recovery is very good at. They cherry pick verses that support a bullet point on an outline. Witness Lee selected verses that supported his ideas. Is the Bible telling you that man is becoming god in life&nature but not in the godhead, or is that an idea you can cast over the book & find support for?

There is irony here is that your proposed consequence is in itself the result of a personal interpretation of the Bible.
