It has always to be God plan to grant joint heirs to those who quality!

Those who qualify for eternal life are those who

(a) have been qualified by the substitute life & death of Jesus Christ; and

So you think all will be saved and received the same reward be they living a righteous life or rebellious one?

(b) trust in that substitute.

You believe all you go to do is believe and your safe!

I read the scripture and believe it mean what it says!

As for godhood, God doesn't share His throne with any of us. He shares heaven with us, which is what we inherit. But an heir doesn't work for anything left to him. It's given upon the death of the heir. In this case, we receive upon the death of Christ, and knowing Him as He is and for what He's done.

Romans 8
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

17 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.

Otherwise, you're telling me that if you have a great inheritance, and you leave a will for your pet dog, you're implying that just because "you've always planned this" that this somehow = your dog being converted into a human in the afterlife.

"Heir" does not = becoming divine.

Ps 82
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

John 10:
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

Ps 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

In John 10, Jesus is citing Ps. 82.

Who did LDS apostle James Talmage (author of Articles of Faith & other LDS books) say Ps. 82 was referencing, true gods?

No way! Talmage said that since Ps. 82:1-7 clearly references "unjust judges" as these gods, they couldn't be referring to true divine gods (unless you think gods are unjust).

Also, Jesus said they were gods already ("ye are gods"). Not "ye will become gods."

So unjust judges are already gods, eh? That's your theology?

I've always wondered about this one. Could you provide the verse from the law that says this?
