GPH: The scripture makes no such claim, nor does it claim that human beings will ever share in the divine attributes. These claims are blasphemous. That’s the point.
While we are earth we are lower than the angels:
Heb 2:7 You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor,
After we die we will be higher than the angels, as we will sit in judgment of them: 1Co 6:3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!
BTW Livius did say that we will be divine, he said we can be higher. At least half of your problem is your insistence on misquoting. You should stop doing it.
“While we are earth we are lower than the angels:
Heb 2:7 You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor,”
That’s in reference to Jesus Christ, it says nothing about us. Nor are we going to sit in judgment of say, Gabriel or Michael. We will sit in judgment of the entire world, not just the fallen angels, but the wicked as well.
Though even this in a limited sense, as all judgment is ascribed to Christ, who performs it Himself.
You cannot conclude that the spirits of men will have the divine attributes, or will be superior in rank to the Holy angels in heaven.

At least half of the problem are Catholics making irrelevant comments that don’t apply. Why even bring it up then, if not to argue that the spirits of human beings will possess the divine attributes?
