Truth Month - July 2024
Day 24 - God became a human. Humans cannot ever become gods.
One truth that seems obvious is that men are not gods, nor are they angels. We certainly don't act like it is even a remote possibility most of the time. Philosophically, God is uncaused, necessary, and who is the greatest conceivable being. He is all powerful, all knowing, all good, omnipresent, immaterial, self-existent, and eternal. God is the creator of everything that has ever come into existence, including all intelligent beings.
A consequence of this is that there cannot be multiple gods, since there can be only a single greatest being. One cannot rightly be called "God" by being a lesser version of the one true God. Yes, human beings have a lot of pride and ambition, but any religion that claims to allow men to ascend to godhood is mistaken, at best, or leading people to worship false gods, at worst.
However, we have an offer on the table. We can accept His invitation to become children of God by being grafted into His family through Jesus Christ, who was the embodiment of God as a man.
