I cannot think of myself as a "god".
I am not a god.
I can, however, think of myself as a son of God
Adopted through the heir of Christ's divinity.
Yet, to make myself an equal
With Whom I certainly cannot be equal...
To me there is only one God
The Father, Spirit; Son Amen.
The Prince of this world says,
"I am a god; I am God."
I thought clearly, this doctrine was a warning
Against such heresy...
And I do not believe it is what the Catholic Doctrines preach.
It has never occurred to me,
That this was canonical Christianity
Until I had heard St. Athanasius cited it;
The most authoritative Creed in my faith.
If I must become a god
Then so shall it be...
But, I wish to eat, drink, read, and partake of the Otherworldly pleasures
As a hedonist, rather than partake the duties of a Divine Creator.
This doctrine that I become a "god"
I understand it only as "Judge".
That I will judge, I have become a god of sort.
That I hand down divine sentences;
Yes, I will be like a Monarch
And Christ my Emperor.
I see it clearly now,
As I always have.
Yet, God, if I were made equal to Thee
I shall fail.
Every man ought to say this,
Lest they come close to blasphemy.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
