John 14:12

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do ; because I go unto my Father.

Old Testament: man was made in god's image

many eastern religions believe that man has latent powers (I'll skip that, since I believe you wanted biblical items?)

Meegan may have some very interesting opinions also.

John,

I know nothing about the word latent except it's meaning. Biblically if one is saved God gives gifts to them, too use in his name. Mortal and non believing man does not have these powers of God, but they can be from Satan to the unsaved (interpretation mine). Satan wanted to be divine as God was divine and that was a sin (interpretation mine). According to the KJV bible, we are predestined to be saved by John 3:16. Satan's plus Adam and Eve sin condemned us to sin. We were created perfect before Adam and Eve and Satan sinned. I therefore submit we are (if saved) servants of God forgiven and perfect in his grace. Thoughts please? Paul

The quote from John 14:12 is one of the most famous ones.

That is why I mentioned it. Whether it means what it says, I do not know.

Jessica,

1x3=3 this is true. But how does that relate to how man can be divine? Paul

Paul.

IMHO, human's can be divine through loving themselves thus to pour forth their soul-energy unto others from what has been built up inside. Love is the energy of God.

1) love-self

2) send love to others

3) accept divine love
