So you and God started off as "intelligences" and he got the jump on you toward Godhood. Is that the way it works?

No, and I get the feeling you are purposefully missing the point here.

Who was the first God formed? Was it your Eternal Father, or was it some other "intelligence"'s eternal father?

Who knows, who cares, we haven’t been told, it’s none of our business, we could not understand the answer anyway, take your pick. I am becoming more certain you are missing the point on purpose.

If your Eternal Father is the Father of your spirit, then who is the Father of the Spirit your Eternal Father? Do you have an Eternal Grandfather? And does he have an Eternal Grandfather?

Now I know you are just being silly, but probably. So? They have no authority over us, we have a God. Then the early church was teaching heresy.

Well it is what Jesus was convicted for by the Sanhedrin, now wasn’t it.

Do you agree with this scripture:

Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. (Isaiah 43:10 KJV)

Yes.

Is that one of those scriptures that wasn't translated correctly?

No, but it is obviously one you do not look at from the proper perspective.

I know from Prior threads that you are not really here to learn, so I will not waste my time, trying to teach you.

I get the feeling that you are purposefully dodging the issue.

When I was an LDS I was explicitly taught that our Father in Heaven had a Father in Heaven and he had a Father in Heaven, etc. I was explicitly taught that God once walked an earth like this as a mortal and sinful man and that he obeyed the laws and ordinances of the Gospel and that ultimately he progressed to the point where he was exalted to the position of God and given the earth to rule over. I was taught that God was not always God and that if I was a good Mormon and tithed and went on a mission and got married in the Temple and did my duties as required by the Church that I would be entitled to go to the Celestial Kingdom, where someday I could become a God of my own planet somewhere in the universe and that someday people on some distant planet would call me "Eternal Father" or "Father in Heaven".

Now I don't know if that is still taught in Mormon Priesthood classes, but it was taught in the 1960's and the teaching materials were being sent to our ward from Salt Lake City.

Now is what I described above accurate? Is this something that is still taught? Do you believe it? Or has the LDS Church abandoned this doctrine?

Try teaching the lurkers. Answer my questions completely and honestly and let the light shine. What have you got to lose?
