“So the righteous will sit in God’s throne. Is that even more arrogant? Have you read the scriptures?”

It is incredibly arrogant to believe you will be equal to God. That’s why Mormons cannot be trusted in positions of power (e.g. Harry Reid). You knever know when they are going to flip and believe they got their planet early.

Well, are you gals watching the Utah Jazz Golden State game?

Harry Reid is a MINO (Mormon in Name Only). It’s so embarrassing.

The scriptures were from the Revelation of John. Do you believe in the Bible? Maybe not. Just asking. What church do yo go to?

I could be wrong about this. If I am, I will humbly accept corrective instruction.

In fairness to mormonism, I don't think its doctrine states that mormons will be equal to God, but that they will be rewarded for their mormon practice, marriage in temple, good works, etc. with becoming gods in their own right, creating life, populating and ruling over their own planetary dominions and so on.

I don't think mormon doctrine claims equality with God. From what I can gather so far, it appears they conceive of God as continually evolving in his power and perfection, so that he will always be ahead of them. Or something to that effect.

Again, any correction on this is welcomed and appreciated.

And I would agree with you that anybody who thinks he's going to become a god at any stage of his existence, is not somebody I want in charge of my country or me.

Then the Jews took up astones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath asanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

Wow! that sounds familiar.
