Does your religion teach that you are transformed into little gods?

There is a verse in Psalms and John that says You are like gods. That doesn't mean that we will be "gods". We will be like Christ but that doesn't make us gods. It also doesn't mean we'll look like Him ;)

Both verses, in John and in the Psalms, say: "Ye are gods..."

The Psalmic verse is historic [past tense]...

Do you know when it occurred?

Absolutely not. Jesus said that those who attain to the resurrection of the dead will be like angels in Heaven, neither marrying or being given in marriage ( Luke 20: 35- 36).

I do. I was arguing against what I've heard others argue on other sites about being transformed into gods or like God himself.

Arsenios’ comment in Post #5 reminds me of an agnostic, dyslexic insomniac, I once heard about.

He used to lie awake at night, wondering if there was a dog.
