I won’t discuss what “Mormons” believe, but I’d be happy to discuss what Mormonism teaches. It teaches that “God the Father” was once like us, and He himself has his own “God His Father”, who has his own, and so on.

It teaches that a man on this earth can aspire to the same “God the Father” status with future worlds.

So you decide if mormonism teaches that mormons can or will become “gods”.

Gee, how does that comport with the Bible’s very clear description of God as existing always?

Then you pretty well summarized it - mormonism teaches mormons can/will become gods. My question back is does the sources linsey cites actually SUPPORT is arguement or are they taken out of context, twisted and forced to support his 'model' or not.

I think you have left out a phrase: “If you are worthy” Only God the Father decides if we are worthy of anything.

Aspiring to be a God does one no good unless one is actively working towards that goal.
