How would you classify this?
I just noticed that some Christians refer to themselves as gods or goddesses. Is that considered "making yourself like God", "idolatry", "having other gods before Me", or what? It seems like an issue that could have already been addressed in the Bible.

Well, St Athanasius the Great in the 5th century (??) wrote that we are called to become "gods by grace", i.e. to grow in the likeness of God and participate in the life of God (cf. 2 Peter 1:4)... It does not mean we somehow become gods or that we are gods by nature, but we merely receive by grace what Jesus is by nature (Jesus is the Son of God by nature, we are sons of God by grace, by adoption). You can call it Christification or sanctification, if you feel more comfortable with that. HOWEVER, many Christians in our days are deceived by "New Age" preachers and other false teachers... When they say they are gods and goddesses, they really mean it. This is a heresy and it breaks the whole Law, and those people need to repent from their sins.

People try to make themselves 'like' god in order to reap rewards. Meanwhile it's impossible to be perfect alike him so it's a direct contradiction and temptation to sin. As humans we're humbled, and anything otherwise is an abomination according to the texts. Maybe you have misinterpreted and mistranslated versions of the teachings as it sounds like you're confusing the teachings for your own understanding, projection.

Man I fully beleive we can become like Jesus but til he comes back we won't be perfected as it says in Philipians 1:6. Man if one thinks themselves as a god or goddess, sheesh, repentance is deeply needed. You can exalt yourself above God but we shall become and attain atributes Like our homie Jesus(Yeshua for Jesus in Hebrew) the more you spend time with him. But what I think some people are trying to say is that they become like Christ but put a weird label on it. You become like Christ and a servent for the Lord not a god. God is God and he is our Holy God. You choose to follow him and not label yourself a god.

Trust the Lord
In my experience as well as experience of people I have seen. The way God changes us is through pain, but for that pain to have any meaning you have to trust against everything that he will help you (not something you can do without God gifting you that). The road is long and arduous, I am just at... read more

Jesus, cencus and Herod
In the Bible, Joseph and Mary came to Bethlehem to participate in the census, where they gave birth to Jesus. At the same time, Herod staged a massacre of infants in Judea. In reality, Herod died in 4-1 BC, and the census took place in 6 AD, 7-10 years after his death. (edited)

We are made of stardust
Disney's "Wish" claims that people are made from dust, and that's part of why we look up at the sky when we need answers. What do Christians think about this concept?
