I am with you lightbearer. I don't think we now know just what our makeup will be. I believe our lives will reside in spirit form but able to take on bodies just like the Lord, and a couple of angels, did on the plains of Mamre. We are told the real power in the universe resides in the spirit realm. If we need flesh to live could not an IED destroy us? I was looking forward to flying like angels do. But what do I know?
Heb. 11:3 "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."
Heb. 11:27 "By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing Him who is invisible."
Col. 1:15,16 "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:"
1Tim. 1:17 "Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen."
We know we are going to be higher than the invisible angels. We are going to be called "sons" not pets. Maybe we will be Gods? Are not sons, Gods?

People will not become a God like the Father and Son for God is an omnipresent Spirit which the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain God so where would the people who became Gods fit in.
Will they all overlap each other as an omnipresent Spirit for to be like the Father you would have to be an omnipresent Spirit.
Also the Bible says there is one God the Father who is above all so how will they be equal to the Father.
And the Father does not give His glory or His attributes in the fulness to anyone so how can they be like the Father.
Also God said that He is the LORD, and beside Him there is no other God, and there was no God formed before Him, and there will be no God formed after Him, so how can they become a God.
Also to use the term we will be a god with a small g as a demi-god that does not mean anything.
For it does not matter if God created you with the power to smack a planet and it travels 1 trillion miles, or God made you as weak as an ant when compared to God you are just as weak either way.
And there is no enemy to fight to have to be made powerful to combat against them.
We can consider ourselves gods but the term really means eternal life for we will not rule for only God rules, and we will never be equal to God.
Do we consider angels gods and if not then we will not be regarded as gods, and Jesus said the saints will be like unto the angels which they will have no gender and eternal life, but the angels are not considered gods.
When people say gods it seems like they are thinking that they will be greater and receive more and rule that the Bible did not talk about.
You are a mere human with a spiritual body so be happy with that, and your soul did not get any greater, and all we did was switch bodies to a glorified body.

Hey there Deade. A lot to consider for sure. For one I don't think for the most part we caught up with all that is available to us now in Christ.
2Cor 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
2Cor 3:4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
2Cor 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
2Cor 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
2Cor 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
2Cor 3:8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
2Cor 3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
2Cor 3:10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
2Cor 3:11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
2Cor 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2Cor 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2Cor 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2Cor 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2Cor 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
1Pet 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Most translations translate Rom 8:29 with "to be" in Italicized letters. As you know they do that to show that it is added and is not in the original autograph nor is it implied by the grammar.
"Because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters."
2Pet 1:4 Through these things he has bestowed on us his precious and most magnificent promises, so that by means of what was promised you may become partakers of the Divinity, after escaping the worldly corruption that is produced by evil desire.
