You said I used the term "mere" a bit too loosely in conjunction with creation. Well you use the term "creation" a bit too loosely above. Joseph Smith taught that matter was eternal--opposing Hebrews 11:3. Joseph also clearly taught that this eternal matter was "organized."
In case you haven't noticed, there's a big difference if I tell you to "organize" your house versus "building it from nothing."

Eternal is one of god’s names. Eternal damnation (God has damned X) Eternal Punishment (God’s punishment), Eternal Life (God’s way of Living in heaven) Yep, Jesus organized God’s matter when commanded to by his father who is also our father.
What? Too Convenient for you? That’s what Mormon’s believe and it all works out, no contradictions. The Trinity stuff works, the creation works Stephen’s vision does not have Christ bending over to stand upon his right hand, etc.

If I make the boards, then organize those boards into a house, haven’t I done both? (We believe both, create and organize)
