Really? Chapter and verse?
Don't you desire to be united with God?
I sure do. It won't make me divine, but it's kind of the entire point of Jesus -- He is humanity and divinity united.
He bridges the gap. He is the Way. His Person makes it possible for we humans to be united to God.
I desire to be sanctified and someday completely rid of my sin.
To say that I desire to be united with God is akin to a Mormon's view of exaltation into godhood. That's blasphemy. I will never be 'a god' nor would I want to be. Nor will I ever be equal to Christ. He is my LORD, I am the servant. Quite a difference.
