How exactly do you think we're supposed to ascend...by NOT becoming more God-like? What do you think John 14:12 is about? Following Christ doesn't mean "being a follower". It means doing what Christ did: seeking truth wherever it could be found, whether that was with the Druids, Egyptians, Hindus, Buddhists, Nagas, Essenes, or somewhere else entirely. Trailblazers are followers of Christ, not lemmings.

You’re asserting that truth can be found “wherever”without accounting for how you distinguish truth from error. By what standard do you evaluate the Druids against the Egyptians against Christ? You’ve made yourself the ultimate authority while claiming to reject authority. That’s incoherent. Every claim you make about seeking truth presupposes logical absolutes, moral standards, and the reliability of revelation, none of which your eclectic syncretism can ground. You’re standing on Christian assumptions to deny Christianity. John 14:12 doesn’t teach self deification. It teaches that believers would do greater works in extent through the power of the risen Christ and the Spirit He sent.
