"He said (in the Bible) that we were "gods" and He is going to make good His words." ~ C.S. Lewis.

The scripture said, "You are gods, but you will die like men." (Psa 82:6,7) The gods were disobedient, and fell. They lost immortality. The Watchers partook of the fallen flesh, and ultimately they were consumed (the flood). Now their spirits fly around in waterless places, seeking rest. Not really the "gods" that I would seek to emulate, or become.

What is my point? Don't be so quick to assume means something that you think (hope?) it does. It may mean the opposite, or something radically different.
