Acts 10:26 But Peter made him get up. "Stand up," he said, "I am only a man myself."

Acts 14:15 "Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human, like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and everything in them."

Interesting that when Peter and Paul had the 'golden opportunity' to declare that they were becoming 'baby gods' they didn't take advantage of it. Lee could also have used such reticence, but circumspection wasn't really his strong suit.
