If he didn't, then he was not teaching deification, but merely used a word which could be misinterpreted.

However in actuality deification does have two meanings, as testallthings has rightly pointed out.

OK, getting clearer now. So according to you "the true sense of the word [deification]" is that men are to be worshipped.

So then you agree with me that he chose a word which could be misinterpreted and he used it, not in its true sense.

So I think I am almost clear.

But what do we call that when a person uses a word, not in its true sense, a word that is likely to be misinterpreted?

Tell me what we call that person and then I can answer your question.

PS -- I have responded to Tesltallthings post.
