>>If Evangelicals want to target the Mormons for deviating from Christian teaching, then Evangelicals deserve to have the same scrutiny delved against their own teachings.<<

If we target Mormons for believing they would become gods should we also target Catholics because they think they will become gods? After all, I’ve seen Catholics target Mormons for believing that yet the CC teaches that they will become gods also. Wouldn’t that be the pot calling the kettle black?

I would recommend that you ignore this charge. It is addressing Athanasius' Doctrine of Divinization or Theosis and has been hashed out ad naseum on these threads. These dufii can't seem to realize that when the persistently ram the Church with their ignorance it is not the Church that incurs the damage.

Ignorance. Maybe 2 Peter should be dropped from the Evangelicals’ New Testament.

2 Peter 1:3-4
“ 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.”
