Well, I wasn’t looking for a book reading contest so much as reacting to your statement that the early christians believed they could become gods. It’s not true. I asked if you had read the church fathers which is probably the easiest way to learn about what the early Christians believed. The reason I asked is that you are telling other people what early Christians thought but if you haven’t read the church fathers you are not in a position to make a judgment, much less express it.

I gave you references replete with direct quotations.
Here is a typical one by Irenaeus:
“And how shall man pass into God if God had not been caused to pass into man . . . The Logos of God, Jesus Christ our Lord, . . . was made that which we are, in order that he might perfect us to be what he is.”
What I have told you is a fact about early Christians. If anyone mocks that idea today as unChristian, they do so in ignorance.
