Becoming God?

TheSire

It is often the case that people butcher metaphors found within the Bible. They read either metaphors literal or they ignore the intended scope. I will be commentating on the hyper-literal Mormon usage. They ought to see what scholars like Cason say on Biblical sonship. https://youtu.be/gOFKQzjw_zU They take Acts 17:29 to mean we are literally the offspring of God.
