Are Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit one? Of course:)
But, Jesus is not the Father, and the Father is not the Holy Spirit and so on and so one and so one....yet....they are one.
It is not the intent of this author to propose that we become God in the sense in which you think here.
I am not the right person to explain the theology behind it, and I don’t expect you to find and read the entire writing from which this quote comes.
I can only assure you that the church most emphatically does not teach that we can become God.
Think in terms of the psalmist and the poetry, metaphors and such that are used in the psalms.
This author? That is from the Catholic Catechism for crying out loud.
LOL I read it.
>>I can only assure you that the church most emphatically does not teach that we can become God.<<
Don’t you recognize the CCC as in Catholic Church Catechism?
So you’re basically saying it’s going to be Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Jvette, etc, etc, etc,? Wow! You just said that men will become God.
I believe it was Irenaeus, in Against Heresies, who put it something like: Christ became like us that we may become like Him. And he, like Paul I believe, used the parallel of Jesus/Adam, and that we are made in His image. Cf: Peter and “partakers of the divine nature..”
Basic Christian theology.
The Nicene Creed makes clear our fundamental belief in One God. I think those that pervert the Christian faith either in ignorance or to justify their own modernist views should be ignored or at most sympathized with for attempting scurrilous attacks on this point.
