"God became Man so that Man may become gods" - true or not?

Question

God became Man through His Son Jesus Christ, so that in the end, we may participate as co-heirs with Christ in his divine inheritance, ultimately becoming children of God, co-heirs with Christ, and as gods ourselves. Notice the "g" and not a "G". Jesus Christ enabled us to share in His divinity. Can you also deny that Humanity, as created in the image and likeness of God the Creator, in effect are ultimately creators ouselves as well? Look at art, music, science, and everything that is beautiful created by man in this world.

Both St. Ignatius and St. Thomas Aquinas said this, and as a Catholic turned Gnostic Christian, I believe and know this to be true. This is a basic tenet of Catholic and Orthodox Christianity, which remember, was the original Christianity before the Reformation and Protestantism, which are later offshoot sects. Catholic and Orthodox Christians also make up 2 billion people around the world, and half the planet can't be wrong.

Yes this is theosis, or deification, of Man, again, always with small letters and not CAPS, since Caps refer to our Father, God, the Creator. We are like Him, but not Him.

Answer 1

False, how ironic that the question is identical to the one Satan posed Eve regarding eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Satan also promised Jesus three different things if Jesus would abandon God and worship Satan - Satan was rebuked 3 times.

Gnosticism was declared a heresy over 1800 years ago but Satan never gives up. St. Ignatius was no Gnostic and St. Thomas Aquinas existed 1200 years after Ignatius.

Answer 2

This is one of the foundations for theosis, yes. That orginal quote is from St Athanasios. Roman Catholicism holds to this concept in theory since they don't have a developed Pneumatology (if they did, it would eradicate the innovation of Papal Supremacy). But the Orthodox birthed this concept through our Holy Tradition. Even the Anglican Church and many protestants have usurped the concept of theosis, having distorted it from its Orthodox heritage to meet their own criteria. Please be careful how you mix and match Roman Catholicism with the Holy Orthodox Church. We have similar histories, yes, but our theologies vary greatly ever since Rome walked away from the Undivided Church. Gnosticism has less authority to speak on this since that cult distorted many doctrines (taking in diverse opinions and non-Christian beliefs) and was the cause for a load of heresies during the Ecumenical Councils.

Answer 3

False

Answer 6

False!

Few will be worthy!

Answer 7

We are not Gods, or gods or however you want to spell it. We are His servants. We are filthy rags compared to Him. We are not worthy of His grace, and yet He gives it. I love Him with all my heart, mind, soul and strength. TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Answer 8

False! False! False!
Or to answer your question:
Not! Not! Not!

Answer 9

Not in fact, but with high regard of St. Anselm I may say he has the best reply for this topic. It is at least in the top 10. Cur Deus Homo means "Why did God become man". It is lengthy without copyright please Google for more. I forgot where it came from. If you love theology you will not regret it. Enjoy:)

ANSELM'S CUR DEUS HOMO
PREFACE.
THE first part of this book was copied without my knowledge, before the work had been completed and revised. I have therefore been obliged to finish it as best I could, more hurriedly, and so more briefly, than I wished. For had an undisturbed and adequate period been allowed me for publishing it, I should have introduced and subjoined many things about which I have been silent. For it was while suffering under great anguish of heart, the origin and reason of which are known to God, that, at the entreaty of others, I began the book in England, and finished it when an exile in Capra. From the theme on which it was published I have called it Cur Deus Homo, and have divided it into two short books. The first contains the objections of infidels, who despise the Christian faith because they deem it contrary to reason; and also the reply of believers; and, in fine, leaving Christ out of view (as if nothing had ever been known of him), it proves, by absolute reasons, the impossibility that any man should be saved without him. Again, in the second book, likewise, as if nothing were known of Christ, it is moreover shown by plain reasoning and fact that human nature was ordained for this purpose, viz., that every man should enjoy a happy immortality, both in body and in soul; and that it was necessary that this design for which man was made should be fulfilled; but that it could not be fulfilled unless God became man, and unless all things were to take place which we hold with regard to Christ. I request all who may wish to copy this book to prefix this brief preface, with the heads of the whole work, at its commencement; so that, into whosesoever hands it may fall, as he looks on the face of it, there may be nothing in the whole body of the work which shall escape his notice.

BOOK FIRST
CHAPTER I.
The question on which the whole work rests.
I HAVE been often and most earnestly requested by many, both personally and by letter, that I would hand down in writing the proofs of a certain doctrine of our faith, which I am accustomed to give to inquirers; for they say that these proofs gratify them, and are considered sufficient. This they ask, not for the sake of attaining to faith by means of reason, but that they may be gladdened by understanding and meditating on those things which they believe; and that, as far as possible, they may be always ready to convince any one who demands of them a reason of that hope which is in us. And this question, both infidels are accustomed to bring up against us, ridiculing Christian simplicity as absurd; and many believers ponder it in their hearts; for what cause or necessity, in sooth, God became man, and by his own death, as we believe and affirm, restored life to the world; when he might have done this, by means of some other being, angelic or human, or merely by his will. Not only the learned, but also many unlearned persons interest themselves in this inquiry and seek for its solution. Therefore, since many desire to consider this subject, and, though it seem very difficult in the investigation, it is yet plain to all in the solution, and attractive for the value and beauty of the reasoning; although what ought to be sufficient has been said by the holy fathers and their successors, yet I will take pains to disclose to inquirers what God has seen fit to lay open to me. And since investigations, which are carried on by question and answer, are thus made more plain to many, and especially to less quick minds, and on that account are more gratifying, I will take to argue with me one of those persons who agitate this subject; one, who among the rest impels me more earnestly to it, so that in this way Boso may question and Anselm reply.

Answer 10

not true
