How does the above scriptures you cited as 'proof' of our divinity line up with this scripture?
Do you think this statement will magically become null and void once we are 'transformed'? Scripture gives no indication that it will, nor has it ever been the case today or 'in the beginning' in heaven or earth. If the creation was ever as divine as God, then God wouldn't have had anything to be concerned about to begin with and he wouldn't need to send his son to atone for our sins. The transformation is not a mystery. Its all about transforming this current body into that similar to an angel, making us immortal. It will not nor will it ever make you sinless. What makes the creation sinless is Jesus Christ and him alone. Your spirit allegedly being "divine" now or in the future will have jack spit to do with it. The 'transformation' will have jack spit to do with it.
Dcopymope: who said your scripture passage you quoted becomes null an void, now or in the future. I never said it or even thought it. What I have said here in congruent with this scripture.
It concisely says that God Almighty chose his elect/servants. He is the one and only God (He is, His spirit is, the only source of divinity if you will) and is the foundation of our Salvation. So, what is your point again...what does make creation sinless mean? Jesus Christ worked with his Father 'as' one spirit to make Salvation possible for us.
Bless you,
