Are you a God in waiting, or have you stepped up to your destiny?
If one is created in God’s image, as you and I are, and can know good and evil, as most of us do, then if you believe the scriptures, you have reached Godhood.
Gen3;22 Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil;
Note the “Us”.
Those foolish Christians who believe in the one supernatural God can never live their true naturalistic religion.
Those Christians can never be “Us”, as they see some major immoral sins as good. Homophobia and misogyny.
Unfortunately, they will never gain a Jesus consciousness or be elected to Christ.
Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
I find more Jesus consciousness in non-believers, than in the right-wing believers.
This is not to say that the right are not mostly good.
Most are not quite the best good, as they have let supernatural belief have them forget their predestined legacy.
Their single eye is closed.
Religiously speaking, if Christians are fearful of becoming Jesus like, it is no wonder that the only Christian denomination that does live his and her Christian religion, are Gnostic Christian.
Christian who are unaware of how he is supposed to interpret and live Christianity, should ask a Gnostic Christian.
What the inquisitors wrote into history to justify themselves, are mostly lies.
We died because we were the good Christians, who recognized our religious due and destiny.
We also died for naming the supernatural god, evil.
Jesus died for Gnostic Christians, not Constantine’s Christians.
As Jesus asked in the bible, have you forgotten that you are a God?
Step up to your destiny and single your eye.
The supernatural is killing our eco system.
Natural might be a lesser evil than un-natural supernatural.

You propose that if you believe in the scriptures you have reached Godhood, but what happens to someone like me who doesn’t believe the scriptures?

You will have already matured away from foolish supernatural thinking.
You may already know that you are the only God you will ever really know.

The post title implies that you are not a god but could be. Yet the sentence you quoted implies that god is the creator.

So to clear up the definition of God is irrelevant to this thread. And the definition of a creator is unnecessary beyond to say that a creator is someone/thing that creates.
I’ll ask you emphatically, what happens to someone like me who doesn’t believe the writings? It may help you to know that I also don’t believe that we were created in God’s image. All this is to say that unless you can show otherwise, whether or not and when if I enter Godhood is mute. I offer you the chance to show me that this is applicable.

You’re correct about your first two points, however I am not a God in any respect.

Who creates the reality we perceive, if not our own minds.
We, due to our DNA and chemically controlled thinking, cannot help but create the reality, be it real to others or not.
That applies to the the brightest minds as well as the dimmest.
We, like God, create our reality, confirming again that we are all Gods.
The Bible agrees.

First. Misunderstandings on definitions should be cleared at some point.
Most define God as supernatural, while Gnostic Christianity, using quotes like I have used, show God and Jesus as human, which follows Chrestianity and not the later usurpers, Christianity.
I can show in a natural way that you should step up to Godhood.
The God, or best possible ideal of a tiger, is a tiger.
The God, or best possible ideal of an ant, is an ant.
The God, or best possible ideal of a person is a person.

Have you not heard of DNA?
I am of the image of my parents’ DNA. After the time when your ancestors’ DNA was the same as my parents’ ancestors’ DNA, there have been a whole bunch of DNA changes such that I know that it’s very unlikely that I look like you.
