The other curses of the fall should drop away too, should they not? Also the miracle working power that Jesus and the apostles had. Maybe some Shekinah Glory that was evident on the face of Moses and others might be evident on their faces too? Observable to those in their presence?
Anyway, maybe LC has a provision to account for the limitations of 'becoming God in life and nature but not the Godhead' but I haven't heard of them. Or maybe they just haven't developed their theory further enough to wonder about these logical potential outworkings?

I'm not siding with WL here, but this doesn't appear to be a good argument! That is, there are many things of Christ in us that are not manifested yet (in this current life). That is why we need faith, right? If all the promises were apparent and seen, then there would be no need for faith and hope.
