Theosis

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.
