lol no. at this point in life I am closest to weak agnostic. Mormons believe they will become God. I would assert that one cannot become God, However, one can become like God in the ways he wants us to;RickD wrote:Are you a Mormon?
Ephesians 4:24 You were also taught to become a new person created to be like God, truly righteous and holy.
Luke 6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
1 Peter 2:21 For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps
for me this reads quite elegantly that we should follow the example provided by Christ so that we too can share in his sonship;
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God...
I simply read the bible and relate what my understanding is Christ and the prophets all say that we can become sons of God just as Christ is his son;
Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
I have no desire to be God the father but I would like to be as a son reflecting his father in all things.
Mormonism to me appears to have the same goal as satan does which is not just to be like the most high but to actually be the most high over their own creations.
I am quite open to hear other POV's or logic and reason that would invalidate my understanding
