To be more charitable, it is speculation. Scripture doesn't say it, but your logic, desires, and imagination paint the picture nonetheless. And you convince yourself that the picture is compelling.

And I do it too, perhaps more than many. I dream, imagine, and see visions. But I don't presume my visions are objective reality. I allow the consensus of the flock to prune them away, even to grind them back to dust. It's okay.

So I hope the LC'ers, they of the "Affirmation and Critique" school, aren't too disappointed if others critique their ideas. Certainly "man becoming God", along with the corollary "God but NOT in the God-head" are ideas worth critical examining. And if my examination has lacked decorum, or respect, I apologize.
