We find it hard to make this statement usually because of years of training by religions that we are lowly and and inferior. God is suppose to be some great being. To try to say we are part of that is just not appropriate to some. I happen to believe, I am God.....as are each and everyone and thing.

The Bible has an interesting spin on this subject. In Psalm 82:6 David plainly states, "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High." And in a commentary that can only be descriptive of our present condition he adds, sadly, "But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes."
And Jesus validates this opinion in John 10:34. "Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods." If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?"

Great posts everyone and great thoughts!

Is it the same to say I am God vs. I am a son of God?

Jesus says we are all Gods......yet he claims to be the son of God. Is there more than one God? Or are we as the sons of God "all"?

Are we maybe both? Everything being all/one? What do you think?

The 1970 editionof the New English Bible, Genesis 6:1-2 states,"When mankind began to increase and to spread all over the earth and daughters of men were born to them, the sons of the gods saw that the daughters of men were beautiful so they took to themselves such women as they chose."
Sons of the Gods!
A footnote to the text states that the probable Hebrew reading is "In those days and also afterwards,"
suggesting that the Sons of the Gods consorted with Earthwomen for centuries all over the world.
The earlier translation in the Authorized Version of James I was "Sons of God", which is a vague theological connotation which confounded learned commentators.

Looking through the collective stories of the ancients in the sacred scriptures of all cultures which have survived the censoring and the destruction our knowledge base has experienced it is seen that there are hundreds of references to beings which can only be viewed as "extraterrestrial" but to our technologically challenged ancestors such personages would be viewed as supernatural deities or gods.

So our definition of what do you mean by "God" needs to be defined clearly before we can go on to other things about such entities.
