Where is the Scripture for that belief which Christians would label as outright heresy?
If you believe God was once a man like you and me, you must agree with your churches teaching of the following, right?

Even if you refuse to see or take the word of Jesus he does indicate-

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
