I've been reading some of your comments which I perceive as being towards someone who appears to think we are also gods. I hope you are not including me in this because I don't think I've said as such. Without searching back to my previous posts, I've stated or strongly suggested and purposely meant we are created in God's likeness, which agrees with scripture in Genesis. And of course you cannot deny it when the Bible says "God is Spirit." and, "God is Love." Therefore anything in God's likeness must be spirit and love, not a god nor even flesh. Thus in God's likeness we must have His attributes.
I'm intrigued why Spencer mentioned at one point some of God's loving attributes in which we are to strive in developing as ours, yet he never mentioned along with them the negative attributes you both obviously believe are also of God, i.e. fear, wrath, vengeance, punishment, condemnation, separation, rejection, etc. Surely then, should we not pursue those also? Or is it possible you realize we've mastered those characteristics already? And you would be correct. What attributes are left then for Satan? You must have faith that the "devil" has something in common with God. Very illogical and impossible.
We know, don't we, it is biblical that creatures and plants produce in their likeness? It is highly unlikely a frog produces a snake or a reptile produces a mammal. Or as in James, a fig tree makes olives? No.
One can project via the ego the fearful negative characteristics belonging to your OWN thinking mind onto a Holy God, but can never make them true. I admit though it would be convenient for the ego to believe this, for now the ego can justify its attacks on our brothers and consider it as righteousness through damnation.
