One way to get the ball rolling is to tell another God became man so man could become God.
For the Son of God became man so that we might become God" was written by St. Athanasios the Great, Archbishop of Alexandria , in De inc., 54, 3: PG, 192B, in his refutation of Arius during the First Ecumenical Council.
