“You see, we have different interpretations.
No. YOU have “an interpretation”. I am reading what is actually there (and seeing what isn’t there!). It says nothing about becoming a god.

“And a joint-heir with Christ, mean that what Christ has, the joint heirs have also.”
You ASSUME this is what it means. You would be wrong.
