Once again.

Read the part about the Celestial Kingdom. Now either you are playing here or trying to hide the fact that man can become gods. Which one is it? The link I gave you is right from LDS. Are they lying or has there been a new revelation since?

I have never really read any accounts of LDS belief, and so was interested in this discussion, just to get a little more information on the LDS church..I did go to the link you provided, and there I did find this....

"The following are the kinds of lives we can choose to live and the kingdoms our choices will obtain for us.

Celestial
"They are they who received the testimony of Jesus, and believed on his name and were baptized, . . . that by keeping the commandments they might be washed and cleansed from all their sins, and receive the Holy Spirit." These are they who overcome the world by their faith. They are just and true so that the Holy Ghost can seal their blessings upon them. (See D&C 76:51-53.) Those who inherit the highest degree of the celestial kingdom, who become gods, must also have been married for eternity in the temple (see D&C 131:1-4). All who inherit the celestial kingdom will live with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ forever (see D&C 76:62)."

In this short extract, it does mention that 'those who inherit the highest degree of the celestial kingdom, WHO HAVE BECOME GODS, must also have been married for eternity in the temple'...so it does appear, from this reading that the belief of the LDS church is that man can become a god...I did not know that was an LDS belief...
