The Doctrine of Godhood for Man: a Christian doctrine denied by most of the Christian world

By RE CASTEL

Numerous biblical passages clearly affirm the Christian doctrine of godhood for man, the doctrine of man being of the race of the gods, and the commandment to seek godhood.

Deuteronomy 14: 1—

YE are the children of the LORD your God...

Psalms 82: 1, 6-7—

GOD standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods...

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are the children of the Most High.

But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

St. John 10: 34-36—

Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

Acts 17: 28-30—

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.

Hebrews 12: 9—

Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits and live?

Romans 8: 16-17—

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Galatians 4: 6-7—

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying Abba, Father.

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

1 John 3: 1-3—

BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because we knew it not.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Revelation 3: 20-21—

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Leviticus 20: 7—

Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.

St. Matthew 5: 48—

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

These biblical passages, and other scriptures not included here, are just too many and too clear in their meanings.But people deny the doctrine because of their obstinate folly or their willful pride or their utter rebelliousness to the divine word.

It is disturbing that, in spite of the clarity of the doctrine presented by the Holy Bible, people in the apostate Christian churches and groups hold on to their foolish creeds, beliefs, and traditions that are clearly contrary to the holy scriptures, and they persist in their aversion from and ignorance of the idea that God has paved the way and has enjoined mankind to become gods as He, our God, is.

The apostate Christian churches and groups do not preach the profound doctrine of godhood for man. The absence of the doctrine of godhood for man in these apostate Christian churches and groups indicates that all these are not of God.


Evidently, God has paved the way and has enjoined us to become gods as He, our God, is.

God, our Father, has provided the way whereby we may be cleansed of the imperfections in the which we have come short of the glory of God.

The Lord, our Savior, has obtained the way whereby we may be justified unto godhood. And so, all we need to do is to enter into the holy covenants with God and obey His will in all the things that He requires of us.


God is good. Therefore, He will not give us false hopes; He will not torture us with the thought that we can become like Him if such is not possible; He commands us to be holy and to be perfect as He is because it is possible for us to be holy and to be perfect as He is.

But it appears that only a very few know the 'how and what to do' in order to be holy and perfect as God is.

Now, simply put, God says that we can be good like Him. And thus, if anybody delivers the idea that we can't be good like God, we would know that that idea is not from God.

Better that we embrace the words of Paul (Philippians 2: 5-6)—

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God...

The doctrine of godhood for man is relevant here because it upholds the idea of gods begetting gods that reconciles with the idea of continuous creation of worlds (i.e., the idea of universes spawning universes, which is affirmed by the continuous cosmic mass formation process that is advocated in the new theory of kinematic relativity).
