So one of the reasons that the Pharisees gave for killing Jesus Christ per the Bible was, ~"He made himself a god."
I don't believe that Jesus could have made himself a god anymore than a Downs Syndrome person made themselves a Down's Syndrome person.
But one thing the Catholic Church has not gotten right is the following. The Romans offered Jesus Christ a concoction containing Myrrh before he died. Ostensibly to ease the pain of death? Why did Jesus Christ refuse it?
I think it is real simple.
He didn't want his soul to leave him before he died!
He didn't want his soul to in any way leave him before he died!
So we often hear the term, "The Devil gets your soul?" And we might ask ourselves where our soul goes when it leaves us? If you consciousness is diminished has not your soul left you in some way? Has the drug user not discarded their own soul?
Can it be said to be true that you can tell who Satan is in the world because Satan will be motivated that a human beings soul leaves them before they die!
And perhaps if I assert that, I would also assert that those who are in hospice care (deaths door) should not be allowed to have injections of opiates?
Your soul might not make it to heaven if it leaves you before you die?
And perhaps those who want your soul to leave you before you die are very nervous and do not have any degree of confidence in the validity of their own human soul? To the point that they desperately need to believe some form of the idea that a true human soul will be among them if it leaves the human before they die?
But back to Jesus, If I am true in asserting that he didn't want his soul to leave him before he died. Would it be because it would be somehow changed if possessed by those who God didn't give one too, for lack of better terminology as to soul origin. What evidence do we have with regard to soul integrity? The words Jesus told us that if two people gather who believe in him he (his soul) will be with them! Not the soul of someone who is under the influence of Myrrh.
So lets say that Jesus took the Myrrh. And he started to babble on the Cross because of it? It would indeed lessen the strength of his everlasting word? Perhaps he could have even been possessed to say things he didn't believe in at that point.
And another motivation listed for the death of Christ is this, Pontius Pilate asked his wife what he should do to Jesus Christ. And she said he should be killed because he gave her a terrible dream?
What is a terrible dream to someone that is soulless? Is a prevailing human soul a terrible dream for the soulless? I would assert it is. A prevailing human soul is like a terrible dream for the soulless.

Off topic:
Do homosexuals believe in some form of incremental soul improvement or the experience of temporary incremental soul improvement when they have sex with one another?
A construct to consider: In trying to become something you are not you lessen the validity of what you are?
Another philosophical note, a persons jealousy defines their own known personal limitations?
If a person with Downs Syndrome made themselves into a god and the Pharisees declared they should be stoned, how would the public have perceived that? But how could that have happened? Perhaps they became the role of tax collector and extorted (physically or mentally abused) people to collect taxes to the point whereby they had so much money they could call all the shots?
