But He is: And the Lord God said: "Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for eve." (Genesis: 3:22)
In short, the difference between man and God is eternal life.... and if God grants eternal life to those humans he chooses, by whatever means, then it appears He created us in order to create more small-g gods to join whatever "us" God refers to.
But I believe that this does not make God less interesting, but man more so.
Revelation 221. Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
2. down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
3. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
