Mormons, if you think we can become Gods, are the 12 apostles and Mary Gods by now with their own planets?

Not yet. The First resurrection has not happened yet. All deceased mortals are currently still waiting for the resurrection. That will come after Christ has visited the earth again.

You will find that if this question is accurate, and obviously very weird,

and not making any sense, then unlikely that any Mormon will

answer this one.

So, although the heart is good here, it won't help or reach them.

Sadly, they must be able to attack you/the question if they are

ever to think about anything.

We have to become vulnerable.

I am not Mormon but I believe we can be as holy as God and righteous, and I believe Gods holy spirit can be upon us just as strong as Jesus and he can use us just as Jesus was used. I do not think of myself as a God, just a tool of God. To be a God would mean you create life and have worship if Mormons believe that, they are more fools then their teaching of their marriage in heaven that will die with the rest of you Christians.

Now, I can accept the Mormon agreement on the philosophical conclusion that the greatest good that one can reach is to become as much like God as possible. I also agree that the Church fathers sometimes speak of the process of sanctification in terms of becoming like God or Gods. Their teaching differs from Mormon doctrine in that, Mormons teach that both man and God are the same in origin and through progression can also become a God in the same way as our heavenly Father who in Mormon doctrine is just one who has attained Godhood from another planet.

I have never read where any of the fathers taught that kind of progression from man to Godhood. Instead their teaching is just the opposite where God does not transfer by impartation godly attributes to the believer who has successfully run his race to eternal life. Without exception the Church fathers point out that God is unique in His attributes and that man can aspire but never attain such perfection or eternal presence. The understanding of theosis is entirely different from the Church fathers and Mormon doctrine. In Mormon doctrine theosis is becoming God and in the teaching of the Church fathers it is becoming like God. Such a difference is profound and not subtle.

Appealing to Scripture for clarification we can only find that it is impossible for man to reach godhood as the bible teaches only monotheism and in teaching monotheism it depicts the one true God as unique, possessing attributes that are not shared with His creation. While Mormon doctrine affirms that man's nature and God's nature are the same, the Scriptures reveal God the Father is singular and unique throughout all time. Here is the Word of God.....

Deu 4:35- That thou mightest know that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.

Isa 40:25- And to whom have ye likened me, or made me equal, saith the Holy One?

Isa 43:10- You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know, and believe me, and understand that I myself am. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there shall be none.

Isa 44:6- Thus saith the Lord the king of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last, and besides me there is no God

Isa 44:21-22- Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.

Be converted to me, and you shall be saved, all ye ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.

Isa 46:10- Remember the former age, for I am God, and there is no God beside, neither is there the like to me:

The Scriptures say that there is only one God who created all things. (Jer 10:11) The Scriptures further state that only He who is the one God has all the glory. (Isa 42:8) and is the only one worthy of worship (Mat 4:10 & Deu 6:13 &10:20)

The Bible teaches that God is the same through all eternity who has no creator or has progressed to godhood He says in the book of Malachi that He does not change. And in Isaiah that He is eternal, having no beginning nor an end. His eternal uniqueness without creation in Scriptures proves that there is no foundation in orthodoxy to a doctrine which states that God has progressed into His current godhood or that we can do the same. Therefore, this Mormon doctrine of godhood while aspiring to the philosophy of the “greatest good” falls short in view of the evidence in the Word of God where God is unique, eternal and revealed as monotheistic and in that sense the Mormon doctrine of godhood is heretical as well as how it is a perversion of the Gospel message. God bless!

The reason Mormons are taking a long time to answer is because they're checking with their superiors first. They don't have the courage to have their own opinions and beliefs. They need to be constantly told what to believe, what to speak and even what to think.

They won't admit it but they believe everyone becomes gods and that God was once a man. Catholics lift Mary up to the level of Goddess by bowing to her, praying to her and saying she is co-redemptrix with Jesus! That is all heresy.

You've been reading scientology stuff again, haven't you? Haven't you worked out by now that all of this stuff is like science fiction?

This the only thing @Pete writes.

Somehow I feel you already have your own biased answer to this question.
