signs and wonders and uppity believers
It is worthy of special notice that our Lord had not said, in so many
words, that He was the Son of God, on this occasion. But He had said what beyond
doubt amounted to it—namely, that He gave His sheep eternal life, and none could
pluck them out of His hand; that He had got them from His Father, in whose
hands, though given to Him, they still remained, and out of whose hand none
could pluck them; and that they were the indefeasible property of both,
inasmuch as “He and His Father were one.” Our Lord considers all this as just
saying of Himself, “I am the Son of God”—one nature with Him, yet
mysteriously of Him.*http://www.angelfire.com/in/HisName/littlgods.html
When you become a born again Christian you grow to become more Christ-like, you DO NOT become like Christ or a Christ or anything Divine for that matter. However in Charismatic churches you do; you become a little god - ‘Faith’ becomes an actual force that you wield at your command as you speak things into existence. This is totally and utterly occult. The New Age religion believes in something similar . . . http://www.discerningtheworld.com/2011/01/17/the-bible-says-i-said-you-are-gods-but-is-this-entirely-true/
If you or I had come to earth as the Messiah, we would probably have been moving
about and taking every opportunity possible with people to verbally emphasize
who we really were: Elohim. But Jesus didn't do that. He chose rather to imply
His identity through the miracles, through the Parables, through His actions. probe.org
