Caution: Food for thought! No offense to Christian believers or any Christian church intended.
The mistake: To make Christ/Jesus into a god or god's son. This mistake was all too human. Or how to make one religion stand out from others. This mistake is also known as anthropomorphism.
The two other Abrahamic religions did not make this mistake. The latecomer, Islam could have even opted to follow or copy the Christian example, but Islam did not.
Jesus famously said one of you will betray me. Actually, all Christians may have betrayed him ever since in my opinion.
One may speculate, had the humble prophet Jesus foreseen he would become a god after death, he might have chosen to disappear without a trace.
No human (or animal) can probably ever become a God who created the universe and all live in it. Or how many sons and daughters does God possibly have all over the universe?
Are we all made in the image of god (imago dei), hopefully not. E.g. I can not and will never believe that e.g. Hitler or Stalin and their henchmen were made in the image of god rather than in the image of the devil.
Does God even need sons and daughters? I don't thinks so.
P.S. I believe, I am myself a deeply religious person as probably my blog can attest to. I do respect all major religions. Can we all get along in peace and harmony please!
P.S. I am not and I do not claim to be an expert on religion or the history of religions.
