Yes, there is a better part in you - that is your perfect form, but your perfect form is not God. Somenone who seems to be a human being may be a potential deity, but not God.
Every human being has a perfect form. That means every human being is deffinitely better than he or she experiences to be and showes to be now. It is to that form that they bow down and pay respect when saying ''Namaste''. Some people's perfect form reaches the deity level and other's the level of saints, prophets or maha-aatmas. So actually, each one's perfect form is different : each one is higher then the other one. Everyone is numberwise and the highest in this is only One soul - known as God. That means the highest-on-high perfect form is that of God. That is all there is about human beings. They may be very elevated in their perfect form, yet they cannot ever be God. Yes, it is possible that they become deityes numberwise. If even once you have experienced sorrow, it means you are not God. We are different than God, and God different than us. To say or believe that I or you or any other soul is God is actually defaimation for God, because He is higher than you or me or anyone else and He is ALWAYS perfect - whereas we are sometimes ok and sometimes not ok. Just the fact that you are not perfect now it means that you are not God. If you are not God then it means God is not everyone and if He is not everyone it means that He is only ONE - because either He is everyone or He is only One. Also to say that He is everyone it is the same as saying that God does not exist. However, God exists - He is an incorporeal soul (that is why you don't see Him and you assume so many things about Him) and He is ever perfect, ever blissful....

I think not. The God of the universe is much bigger then us and far more intelligent. Are we made in his image? Yes that is true but we will never be an equal nor anything close to it.
Some have God like potential as they learn to use their abilities in God like ways.
Made in his image does not mean equal just likeness in some aspects. At photo of me is like me but it is a picture likeness it can't do any of the things I do. We are holograms of the real thing.
We are merely reflections of His Godness and even then only if we choose to be.

Hello there Anil.
Your question today might make some think that you are asking something this is unscriptural but its actually not.
As far as a human being God in potential it is true. In Life and Nature we are God's Kind. All the other creatures were made according to " their kind" but God in the beginning created man not according to man's kind but according to His Kind. Man is made in God's image and His likeness as a vessel with the potential to contain God as Spirit and be an expression of this Wonderful God on the earth.
There is a verse in Corinthians that speaks of this matter
IT speaks of us beholding and reflecting like a mirror ( image) the Glory of the Lord.. that we are being tranformed into the same image.. from glory to glory even as from the Lord Spirit.
This is no mere verse in the bible. It speaks of us being gradually conformed into the Image of Christ who is the image of the invisible God.
We are not in any way being tranformed for the position of worship. ONLY GOD IS WORSHIPPED. The Godhead is HIS EXCLUSIVELY. But we do bear His Attributes that become our human virtues.
The human being was created with one real purpose and that anil is to contain God in his spirit. God is Spirit in essence and can only be experienced by man as Spirit IN his regenerated human spirit. Our spirit is the key and the starting point in our being from where God works and wroughts Christ into us.
1 Thess 5:23
And the God of peace Himself sanctify you and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
WHen Christ comes back the most crucial thing for Him to see is His reflection in each and every one of us.. His very image shining gloriously.
Great Q

Yes a human being is a potential god but how many of us remember this fact when we kill for money, cheat for fun, hurt for pleasure?
We do all that we can to obtain more material things and less spiritual…where is our divinity into this?
We trust our faith in religions that teach angry and wrathful gods and we wage wars to impose our faith on others some of whom know the truth of our sacred nature…
The potential is within each and every one of us so is to remember it.
Always an issue of choice isn’t it?

Your question should be like this is human being omni-potent like God?
Answer is No!! we can never be all-powerfull like God, Omni-potent is word we use for either god or a powerfull ruler, But Power full ruler will be impotent personally as we know him closely.
If you imagine a small earth byuanting in a large space?? a 10 rest to 11 stars in one galaxy, and 10 rest to 11 galaxy in space, Your Brain goes to an unconscious condition that is arouse by nausea, a vomit like, spine tingling, brain offending feeling, We are not at all intelligent enough to solve this puzzle what is out side of Space????? The person or omnipresent potential who has made this thing how great he or she or it will be??? so greatest got is unachievable target forever ever and ever..... Until the end of humanity.

YES! every night when we go beyond the confines of the body we are made to realise our real nature. if only we could do so consciously during the waking state , like the Yogis do , we would have moved fast on the journey towards divinity , which is our birthright and " man's eternal quest."

Yes like a marble stone has the potential to turn into God's idol after skillful chiselling. Similarly our souls require to be chiselled to become one with 'GOD' we humans are all endowed with this potential but unfortunately we simply do not try because we are not aware of our true divine nature.

no because even though God has made us in His Image, we have all fallen short of perfection and could never be God. Satan has proved that there is no one in the universe that could ever take God's place

The Universe is the one supreme essence, the ocean. Each one of us is like a drop of that ocean. Only union is needed to make us one with The Absolute One. Being the regulator and governor of all, that Supreme Power inherent in all the creatures is called God. The same Supreme Power resides in the heart of all livind creatures and controls us. In other words, there is something in which we live, in which we are moved, in which we are. This something is rarefied as space, and all-pervasive, and is called God. We all have our existence in this one God. MAN IS GOD. There are thousands of centres of energies in various parts of our body and each one is controlled by Him. Man is already God, he just has to be aware of this and implement himself in order to reach his goal for which reason he is here: self-realization.

NO.. never.... just because an artist painted a picture resembling him that does not mean the painting can become the artist... it's just an IMAGE of the artist... a reflection.... not the ACTUAL.... A human can reflect God and is an image of God and cannot be God..
