Who is this guy? Is he a priest like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are Reverend?

The premise of man becoming God is false. Christians hope that they are worthy to attain Heaven; NOT to become God.

Your not understanding it.. you do not become God in his power and authority... you change you heart to become like minded in your spirit and thinking

The premise of man becoming God is false.

Who said that?

The writer addresses that. For the convenience of those who will not read the OP, here is what the writer wrote...

But the right understanding of this “divinization” is not a transformation into a pagan deity, nor a rivaling of the One God. Indeed, the Fathers, with later theological precision, are careful to say that we become “by grace” what God is “by nature.”
