The Hebrew term for gods, “eilim,” which also means mighty ones, has some contextual uses to indicate entities that are not literally God. Angels are among them, as are people in certain roles. I believe Mormons have taken this way beyond the intended meaning but that’s neither here nor there.

I spent 45 years as a Mormon. Indeed they have taken this too far. They believe they will be gods of worlds of their own making.
