There are still further considerations that need to taken into account. Sometimes things of God that are supremely spiritual, deep, profound, and true are not to be uttered (2 Cor. 12:4; Rev. 10:4)
This is not an unimportant point. If there are any unrevealed truths that are "unlawful for man to utter," wouldn't the thought that "man is becoming God" be among them?

I mean, what could be more dangerous in the mouths of men than that?

I agree whole-heartedly.

John Myer's simple word here has answered so many questions and confirmed so many suspicions. It took me hours and months of difficult study to get into those "high peak" teachings, and this brief word from scripture has instantly severed all the lingering fetters.

1 Cor 10:23 is relevant here.

"All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify."

The book is about a seeker church which renovated itself. One of my pastors said he read it recently.
