>>12412469>So theres no exaltation to godhoodThere IS exaltation, but that video has lead to a lot of people misinterpreting it. Essentially it is actually very similar to the idea of Theosis found in Eastern Orthodox Christianity
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosis_(Eastern_Christian_theology)Basically you don't become "God" (uppercase G) or "a god" (lowercase g) but you become increasingly LIKE God in a process called Eternal Progression. Like in Mark 10:17-18: "And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God." None of us is good compared to God, even Jesus Christ who was certainly much much more good than you or I or any other person on the Earth. We are all God's children, created in God's image, and God gave us commandments in order to lead us to become more LIKE Him, as a Father wants his Son to grow up to be a strong, intelligent, responsible, creative, wise, etc, person who is capable of raising his own family.
The Father's position is NEVER in question, which is why I think it is wrong to say that people "become gods." People can attain higher and higher levels of achievement and become more and more LIKE God, like a son becomes like his father, and then eventually becomes a father himself. So, we are God's spiritual children (though intelligence itself is uncreated and coexistent with God, see the logos in John 1:1-5), God gave us forms and personality and so on and gave us the existence we know today. As we grow up from being like children, eventually we will, through the process of the union of Holy Marriage, have children of our own. Like Abraham was promised by God in Genesis 22:17 "That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore"
