I don't buy that.
If you have to "clarify" such a statement, it shouldn't be said at all.
There is no possible way to "clarify" the heresy out of it. It's heretical. It doesn't just "sound heretical". It IS heretical. First glance, second glance...whatever.
Shortly after this heresy was first spoken, when the printing presses were still active in Irving, I went to the office to buy a book. In a brief conversation with one of the workers, he made the statement "we are baby-Gods". I was shocked. From "God became man to make man God" to "We are baby Gods." Rather than "clarified" the heresy was spreading.
