ROT takes issue with the Latter-day Saint belief in the biblical doctrine of deification, or theosis.  The issue of deification is dealt with in more detail here.

Yet it is appropriate to explain that the Holy Bible, particularly the New Testament, points to faithful saints being Joint Heirs with Christ' of 'all that the Father hath.'

Saint Augustine agrees with the soteriological and eschatological doctrine of theosis, that is, of human participation in the divine so that humanity through the continuing grace of Christ continues to become as like God to the extent that God wills, not excluding theosis - also called "deification" - about which Augustine speaks of "life together in God."

The Early Christian Church had many battles with those who deny Jesus' divinity. Because they defended His divinity they meditated on what is involved for the Logos to become man.

Under this burden, Athanasius concluded that:   

"God became man so that man might become a god."

[cf. St. Athanasius, De Incarnatione or On the Incarnation 54:3, PG 25:192B]

The Church Fathers believed that the Logos became flesh meaning that the nature of God and the nature of man were thus united in one Person, and that this implies that man can be divinized [See. 2 Peter 1:4; 1 John 3:1-3].

This means that man can partake of the divine nature of God and has been a consistent teaching of the Fathers, and Aquinas holds that the Son is the Eternal Wisdom and that "man is perfected in wisdom -  his proper perfection, because man is rational - through his  participation in the Word of God" [ST III, q. 3. a. 8] and he held that the reason for the Incarnation was for "the full participation of the Divinity, which is the true bliss of man and end of human life; and this is bestowed upon us by Christ's humanity; for Augustine says in a sermon (xiii de Temp): 'God was made man, that man might be made God' " [ST III, q. 1 a. 2].
