“Living Gods (現人神 arahitogami) are humans who have become deities while still alive.”
Colossians 2:9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity.
The only Deity is Christ, who is the Word of God made flesh. So Arahitogami mixes up the order. Yes, God can become like the appearance of a human. But a human cannot fully become the appearance of God.
Christ is God -> Christ becomes flesh
Human becomes God -> Impossible! Only God is God. 1 Timothy 2:5
Arahitogami is also synonymous with Hitogami which means. “Man-God”. False doctrines are so tricky because they are disguise themselves with true doctrine.
True Doctrine = God became like man
False Doctrine = Man became like God.
Wow! It’s the exact same words, but because they got swapped, the entire meaning changed! Just like how swapping around the letters of LIVE becomes EVIL, so to can true doctrine be rearranged to be false!
What a lie! In fact, the same lie that Satan told Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Genesis 3:5 For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.
