I believe I understand what you're asking and can answer your question; however, it's late here and I need to sleep so I'll lay some background now and later actually answer the question.
First, I'll introduce some biblical terms that you're well acquainted with. In scripture, humans have an inner (immaterial) dimension and an outer (material) dimension. The former is often called soul (or spirit) and the latter is usually called body.
In Geisler's (and many other evangelical theologian's) 'systematic theology' series, he explains that the term soul basically means "life" and refers to the principle of life in a human being, or to that which animates the body. The primary meaning of soul can most often be captured best by translating it as the person, which usually is embodied but is sometimes disembodied.
The term spirit almost always refers to "the immaterial dimension of a human being." It is often used interchangeably with the word soul, as is indicated by many verses (Luke 1:46). The body without the soul is dead (James 2:26); at death, Jesus "bowed his head and gave up his spirit" (John 19:30). Spirit is immaterial (Luke 24:38-39). Indeed, the invisible God "is spirit" and must be worshiped "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24).
The term heart has a broader meaning than is commonly thought, sometimes even including the mind. In short, for better or for worse, the heart reflects the whole inner being.
The term mind refers to the immaterial dimension of a human being by which he or she thinks and imagines.
The spiritual dimension of human beings is also called the inward man: "Though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day" (2 Cor. 4:16 KJV). The inward man is related to the "things which are not seen," the things that are "eternal" and never pass away (v. 18).
Ok, that's just an quick introduction of those terms but it should suffice for now. Moving on...
Human beings are reducible neither to pure matter nor to pure spirit. We have two dimensions: body and soul. Nevertheless, these two aspects form one nature composed of form and matter (as a form/body unity not an identity). The soul survives the dissolution of the body and is conscious, albeit incompletely (apart from the body), between death and resurrection.
In addition to being one in nature (soul/body) and two in dimension (inner and outer), human beings are three in direction: They have self consciousness, world consciousness, and God consciousness. Only one of these dimensions-world consciousness is lost in the intermediate state between death and resurrection.
The resurrection will restore the wholeness and completeness of a human being as created by God-in unity. The human person embodied in flesh possesses intellect, emotion, will, and conscience.

My opinion on the deification of man has nothing to do with the Mormon theology of a bunch of little gods roaming the universe. The fact remains, according to the scripture that I posted (many more I didn't post) that Gods desire is to bring man into God. What I would like to see here instead of expression of "feelings", is a verse by verse rebuttal of my position. So far, I have not seen one reply to this post that has done that. For example, just what do you and others receive from the scriptures that show us we are "born of God", .."partakers of the divine nature"...."members of His body"..."many grains that were produced from One grain"..."created in His image and Likeness"...."Joined to Him in the oneness of a divine marriage". I would be curious to know how you can receive that word from the bible and not deduce that we are becoming divine and yes, even God...(although not "gods" and not elevated to the Godhead).
