To paraphrase Origins thoughts in the words of Church of Jesus Christ (LDS) Apostle, Bruce R. McConkie: "There is and can only be one who is supreme, who is the head and to whom all others are subject". Becoming like God is not saying we will ever be equal to Him, frankly we won't and can't He, and only He, will forever be worshipped by us.
the 4 Gospels, but was considered non-canonical by the Nicene Council) quotes the Savior: "He who will drink from my mouth will become as I am: I myself shall become he, and the things that are hidden will be revealed to him," (Gospel of Thomas 50, 28-30, Nag Hammadi Library in English, J.M.Robinson, 1st ed 1977; 3rd ed. 1988)
Origen in reference to 1 Corinthians 8:5-6 said "Now it is possible that some may dislike what we have said representing the Father as the one true God, but admitting other beings besides the true God, who have become gods by having a share of God . . As, then there are many gods, but to us there is but one God the Father, and many Lords, but to us there is one Lord, Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Thomas (which pre-dates
Justin Martyr in mid 2nd Century said: all men are deemed worthy of becoming gods, and of having power to become sons of the Highest Jerome wrote that God "made man for that purpose, that from men they may become gods." Clement of Alexandria said worthy men "are called by the appellation of gods, being destined to sit on thrones with the other gods that have been first put in their places by the Savior."
Divinization, narrowing the space between God and humans, was also part of Early Christian belief. St. Athanasius of Alexandria (Eastern Orthodox) wrote, regarding theosis, "The Son of God became man, that we might become God." Irenaeus wrote in the late 2nd Century: we have not been made gods from the beginning, but at first merely men, then at length gods
What's vague to you is clear to me. Binding ecumenical Christian council produced the Nicene Creed that everyone believes, so forgive me if I don't take your word for it, neo-Arian.
The relatively few scriptures in John that say that God and Jesus Christ are "one" refers to them being of one mind and purpose as explained in John 17. But these vauge metaphors are latched onto because it support the false doctrine of the Trinity and other scripture that cleary states Jesus and God are separate beings are ignored - it quite surprising that this belief is still the core belief of "mainstream christians" since it has no real foundation in scripture.
Few or not, they testify to jesus' non-aquired, as does Thomas: John 20:28 Thomas answered, and said to him: My Lord, and my God. And also Holy Spirit: Revelation of John 22:3 And there shall be no curse any more; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him.
If you can't accept John 1 which clearly says: Word was from the beginning and was God, and was made flesh, and is Jesus Christ, then you won't accept anything, so I'll stop.
