More like, "Do you realize you are a god? If so, are you in the process
of deiforming?" [Actually, such questions are not that shocking from a
NT point of view--but the Gospel of John doesn't attribute any rational
statements to the Word. This is no doubt why it is the worst possible
gospel of mass-produce and hand out enmasse, as is relatively popular among
evangelicals/ultraconservative Christian culture.]
