Your verse support is weak. Can you point me to where Jesus teaches theosis? Seems if it's such an important doctrine Jesus would have taught it.

Some other verses that speak of this mystery would be in John 17, right? The Lord has much praying to the Father about our oneness with the Triune God and God's glory being given to believers.
Verse 21:"That they all may be one, even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us . . ."
Verse 22: "And the glory you have given Me I have given to them . . ."
One might also look to Romans 8 verses 9-11. Seems like lots of blending of God & man there (dare I say "mingling"?).
And as Paul says in Colossians 1:27 about this great mystery" "Christ in you, the hope of glory."
I still think the bottom-line is that this subject is (sorta like my dad would say - like trying to corner jello) a mystery. As is written,
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, what God has prepared for those that love Him."
Yes, it probably is too far to say we become God, but then God is the ultimate giver!
"Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. But we know that, when He is revealed, we will be like Him; for we will see him just as He is." My my - what is this!!??
I think what He is doing is and will be an entirely new creation and critter (as a brother I know likes to say) - God's masterpiece!
