Re: God became man that man might become God
I would say that "becoming God" teaching manifests the "escapist" tendency not uncommon among all the Christians. Christians dream of going to heaven, neglecting the fact that God wants man to possess the earth. Christians dream of pre-trib rapture to avoid manifesting the resurrection life amid the tribulations and being martyrs unto the ends of the earth. Christians dream of becoming God to escape the responsibilities of being proper humans. However, we have to face the fact that our humanity is damaged and trust that God values us as we are and wants to restore us.
