Now if this is all John could offer on such an important subject, certainly no one else knows any better. And unfortunately many things that come from WL need to be reconsidered. I believe that he was too extreme and imaginative. There is no need to "add" anything to scripture. The Lord's word is already complete.
Yes, we will be like Him. Aspiration enough for this sinner, today. Lord, make me like You.

My dogs are like my cat. All are furry household pets. All come running when I call for dinner (well, my cat, not always). All have the "domesticated mammalian" life and nature.

But my cat is not my dog. (And actually, my three dogs are not identical. Spike is different from Youdy is different from Ralph. Even though two of them are litter-mates.)
