The divinization of man is being married to GOD through the body of Christ. Just as man and woman become one flesh, so do man and GOD become one spirit. But men do not become gods; they are still men who become one with GOD who became a man. Divinity has been brought down to men; man does not ascend to become like GOD. It is becoming one with GOD through covenant and marriage, not becoming gods through method and process.

Here i can conclude some contradictions in your post.

Let we see this:
I said, “You are gods,
And all of you are children of the Most High.” (Psalm 82:6)

What on earth does it mean—“you are gods”? Doesn’t our faith teach that there is only one God, in three Persons? How can human beings be gods?

Created beings can become one with GOD through his spirit, but to say that a created being can become an uncreated being is a monumental contradiction.

Where did i said this?

Theosis is the understanding that human beings can have real union with God, and so become like God to such a degree that we participate in the divine nature.

I didn't say that you said that; I was just making a comment. We do participate in the divine nature; it is a great mystery.

U on west understand it as a moment.

Actualization is immediate; realization is a process.

So you will pray to the saints?
The process of santification is pointed to throughout the new testament.
- (Sanctification is a work of the Holy Spirit, not of the saints.)

Human beings will never become Like God.

We can relate to him yes, But because he made us in his image to relate to him. The thing which separated us was sin, He redeemed us of this thing, and thus restored the relationship. He created adam to relate to him as he was. Not as god.

It is indeed a great mystery how they can hear us,but they can,and 2000years of Church experience confirm that,and that is Gods grace,how departed in Christ can see and hear everything what can see and hear Lord Jesus Christ.Yes,they indeed became gods as Psalm say that."You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High." Or u have something against this Psalm?

No they can not, stop listening to men and listen to God.

Unless they are omnipresent, they can not hear you. Only God is that.

and that is Gods grace,how departed in Christ can see and hear everything what can see and hear Lord Jesus Christ.Yes,they indeed became gods as Psalm say that."You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High." Or u have something against this Psalm?
