If, then, the deification of man is to be found in Scripture, it will have to be on the basis of other biblical texts or themes, as Scripture gives men the title of "gods" only in a figurative or condemnatory sense."<

Let me just say one thing and some will understand this and some won't. The true test of which spiritual world you've tapped into is demonstrated by your behaviour and pursuits. The dark side will always put a plate in front of you to lure you away from God. When a human receives Divine Grace by faith, he immediatley falls in love with God. This is usually accomplished through the teachings of Jesus via the New Testament and is indeed a rebirth and re-growth experience.

In consideration of the signs of the times,
"chemtrails" should be the least of your worries.

What's funny is I could have substituted the word 'dark' or 'evil' for satan and would have gotten a different response from the mars seeking jason....

Deb,

>as Scripture gives men the title of "gods" only in a figurative or condemnatory sense."<

Absolutely, clearly an interpretive problem....the la vey book (satanic bible) gives a direction of kill or be killed, win at all cost, look out for number 1 mantra......which just happens to be mindset of today's people.

A 100 hundred years ago people in general could not truly interpret the Bible but respected the word...today people question the Bible and have the capacity to interpret it but don't take the time to do it, that's one of the 7.....

I do not believe in a "version" of God (thx 1138) comes to mind, simplified you could reduce down the reference to 'good and evil' or light and dark...but to call humans god's is an abomination.....you cannot be of the flesh and be a god....

Cy has been desperately attempting to label me and can't, so I will do it for him, there is NO in between, your either light or your dark.....in spirit...and in practice.......

That's pretty simple....

I am pursuing a course of light....

As deb said dark is always there to put a fresh plate of doubt in front of you....

Evil is evil and when you realize this, that is a sobering day....

I don't feel this philosophy is condescending.....

unless your dark....
