For some reason the theologians elevated Yeshûa to the status of God, ignoring His own words which asserted quite clearly:
“Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”?
John 10:34 (KJV)
Not "I am god", only "You are gods." Plural, as in "gods." Is there anything not clear in this statement? No wonder Yeshûa disliked the sacerdotal, i.e.: priestly groups. And now, after 2000+ years, those same priestly classes, the experts with the Ph.D.s in theology, continue to lie, openly and publicly, that we are only sinners while Yeshûa was, or surely still is, God. With a capital G.
The funny thing is that they, the theologians so disliked by Yeshûa, were half-right. First of all, they were (are?) sinners. And I don't mean just the pedophiliacs, but all the others, e.g.: including those who judge others; judge and punish... ignoring Yeshûa's words:
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged”
(Matthew 7:1).
These are just two examples. The priesthood, preachers, and proselytizers love to impose judgements on their misguided followers. And the more one reads the Bible, the more nonsense one will find about their own misguided teaching.
That's only my opinion, of course.
Nevertheless, perhaps they ought to study my, or anybody else's DICTIONARY OF BIBLICAL SYMBOLISM. Mine is not much, written by an amateur, but it helps one to see the pathetic misinterpretations of the preachers. Most preachers? Probably. I'm sure there are some that are gods.
And adding to the "funny thing" above, there is a condition that qualifies us to be (at least apprentice) gods. To qualify we must act according to the Universal Laws. Einstein called them "Thoughts of God", which might be a little clearer to you if you care to read my booklet by that name. I repeat, I'm an amateur, but I've compiled my DICTIONARY mentioned above. (And don't forget, "amateur" means 'layman', but is also means "lover".)
It also helps if you unify your Ego with your High Self. It's all to do with one's state of Consciousness. In fact I consider it a prerequisite. Again, nothing to do with religion.
While Yeshûa obviously had much greater faith in human nature than I'm capable of, I'd suggest that we might add one word to the statement in King David's Psalm 82, which Yeshûa repeated about us being gods. The expression might be more understandable to us if we say "potential" gods. Or that we are "apprentice gods". Sort of "gods in waiting"?
After all, they... crucified Him, although the divine potential, or the potential of godhood, was already within them.
***
So, the problem is relatively simple. Learn the Universal Laws (Thoughts of God), stick to them, and the Divine Creative Potential within you will manifest in the Phenomenal Universe. You will be as gods.
And after you learn how to do it, please, let me know. I also would like to learn to the Thoughts of God. Or, as I like to call them, the Laws of the Omnipresent Indestructible Energy of Creative Consciousness that hides, deeply, in our unconscious.
But, trust me, it is there. Abundance of miracles performed by many people over the ages attest to that. People who could metamorphose the Original Creative Consciousness into phenomenal manifestations.
And if you don't trust me, trust Yeshûa. It took Him 18 years to learn the Thoughts of God, not counting the briefings from the Essenes. It might take us a little longer.
Only, PLEASE, do NOT trust those whom Yeshûa did not trust.
We should not crucify Him twice.
