In my opinion, humanity is not inherently godly, however i believe that apotheosis, or the transformation of man into god is entirely possible, if only in a figurative way. There are many examples throughout history where people have been deified because of their actions. In my opinion, it is the actions of these people that makes them into Gods, their potential and often success in creation and destruction makes them as much deities, if not more tangible ones, than any God that has been brought forth in religion to date
No, because for humans to be Gods we would have to be immortal. I think we were designed to be Gods, but then after the whole Adam and Eve fiasco we lost that priviledge.
I Belive it means we were made in his image, litterly, so we god looks like a human man, and with that we look like god, but we dont have godly traits, we are simple mortals, with the appearance of our god
Personally, I believe it means that we were given the morals, etc. of God. We aren't made to look like Him due to John 4 "God is a Spirit:...". As to humans to be gods, that is entirely unsupported in the Bible. We were to be superior to ourselves at this moment, but we will still be inferior to angels.
If we look like God than why is he always portrayed as things such as a flaming bush?

and if we lost the privilege of Godliness, do you think that it is able to be recovered?
I think we were never to be gods, as seen with the angles, they were up there, nice and everything, but they never had powers. And god was portrayed as such because god was showing him his power, and if he was just a dude, that could very well be the devil. Plus, the church didnt want anyone worshiping pictures of god, so they never portrayed him as something or somebody the antichrist/devil could pretend to be.

There is no Biblical proof whatsoever that we could become equal to God, as you say.

Ok, we refer to God as God. If we became "gods," then we'd have to have the powers of God. Therefore, we would have to be able to create and instantaneously transport as well. Designed to be gods? To me, that's blasphemy.

Exactly. God is nonphysical, and uses objects to contain himself at times.

Do you even have any proof that God is physical? There is none in the entire Bible.
in the trinity god the father and son would be physical and god the holy ghost/spirit would not. And what you call blasphemey used to be called heresy and today is called science, we as a human race are undergoing apotheosis as we argue, we are becoming more and more the gods that organized religion was founded upon, the perception of god has changed with time but undeniably we are becoming more and more godlike. Also, where in the bible does it describe all the powers of God such as his ability to instantly transport things? I don't think i've read that part

Then the trinity is incorrect. God the Father is not physical. There is no proof whatsoever. Are you a Mormon then?

Blasphemy, heresy, they're the same. "Science" has nothing to do with God whatsoever. In fact, it tends to attempt to disprove God. As for your apotheiosis idea, that is blasphemy. Blasphemy is the crime of assuming to oneself the rights or qualities of God. Might I add, the Bible gave the death sentence for that.

It is inferrable. Due to the fact that God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, He is capable of any feat.
Mmm...if only. It tends to explain many things that people considered "miracles" or "supernatural events" and is based on observable things...of which God has not yet been observed. So Science isn't really "against" God, it just by nature contradicts a lot of what religion teaches.
I don't know...if there is a God, it certainly is not like what is described in any holy text. God too would have to conform to the physical world, as he would have created that and is subject to his own power. If there's a god, he would just act through the physical, and would actually be all of the "self" completing things like the Big Bang, evolution, abiogenesis, etc. I think that man just imparted his own ideals/beliefs onto this "god" and thus personafied him, and has since then attributed anything they couldn't understand at the time to him.

Well, it depends on the event. If there was a prophecy about it, it doesn't really matter how the event was fulfilled, so much as that it was fulfilled.

How would God be subject to laws? God is omnipotent; what restrictions could he possible have? He isn't even a material entity.
to answer, no i'm not mormon, and please, entertain this from a hypothetical point of view. also dude, telling me that i'm blaspheming 1. does nothing to move the conversation along and 2 is the paramount of not respecting opinions. If you went back a few thousand years right now with lots of modern technology, do you honestly believe that the humans of the age would think of you as just another man?
I think it means that we are made to look like God somewhat, due to the fact that Jesus is in the Trinity; therefore, since Jesus was in the likeness of man, we all look somewhat like Him (we're all people). Also, inwardly, this means that we have a spirit somewhat like God's (although far less grand, far less powerful, and broken) in the sense that we have emotions and can contemplate deeper meanings. Of course, just because we're MADE in God's image, doesn't mean we STAY that way, some people have really messed up their lives. Humans aren't gods, nor will we ever be. Some people could say that eventually we'll make amazing scientific advances and become gods, but that's not valid because if you take away the technology (which is technically just a manipulated environment), then we become just people. Sure, I can talk to people halfway across the planet, but I need a phone and a connection and electricity. Without that, I can't talk to someone unless we're face-to-face. That's what I think, if you want to correct me please provide evidence.
