***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***
Jesus is not our brother. He is our Lord and Saviour. In order for him to be our brother we would have to be God. Jesus states that we are to become part of the Christian family and we can consider God as our Father - which is for our benefit in understanding the differences between Him and the pagan gods.
But for what you state, we must be equals to God and I for one do not even begin to start to consider thinking about acquiring a Godhood for myself.
"28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified." - Romans 8
" 19Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone." - Ephesians 2
Of course, we are also slaves of Christ, so one needs some perspective - but if you deny that God has chosen to make us family, then you deny the Word of God. No one is snatching at equality with God, but son, father, abba, brother - those are terms God has invited us to use.
