***In the Old Testament, the term “Father” is used for God 15 times. In the New Testament, it is used 165 times in the Gospels alone, and 40 times in the Pauline Epistles.***
Certainly our perception of God changed with the New Testament. But God the Father is not our biological father; we are not gods nor will we become gods. Or God.
I have not claimed in any way that we become gods. I have said that God has invited us to be family - so we pray to God as our Dad, and we can approach Jesus as our brother...which suggests we don’t have any reason to go to Him thru Mary, or to fear His judgment.
