Don't you desire to be united with 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.

He also taught us to call God Our Father. How sad it is that you will not contemplate the Incarnation, nor accept that God reached out to our humanity precisely to draw us into His Embrace.
