This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

It's heresy to say that man will "replace" God.

It would not be heresy to suggest that the purpose of divine grace is for
mankind to gradual become more like God.  In fact that is orthodoxy (there's
even a cool word for it, theosis, the process of becoming like God).  And
given infinite time and God's own infinitity, mankind will infinitely *divinize
*without reaching *divinity.*
