So are you saying, that because we are born children of God, we can then become gods?...Just trying to understand here...

the Joy is knowing who we are small "g" we would never replace our Heavenly Father nor our Savior Jesus Christ but we could learn from now into the eons of eternity of all the wonderful things the Lord has to teach us!

i am sorry but I recent those who try to belittle this beautiful truth which the Holy Spirit can witness to your soul so much more than my words could it justic!

When I found out the Book of Mormon was true I jumped for JOY I was 38 years old and now I am 62 and still get chills think about it!

In a word, YES

Not that there isn't a lot more to it.

We will never become the GOD of this world. That place belongs to Jehova (Christ). Elohim (God) is the God of Jesus Christ and also of us. Perhaps Elohim God also had a God, but that is not entirely clear in Mormon doctrine as I understand it.

Mormons believe that we will become gods over our own worlds, of our own creation. We will start them from our family units (If we are married in the Temple). So the man will be a god, the woman the wife of god...or heavenly mother, and they will have children and continue bearing children into eternity. This is the "plan of salvation" and "eternal progress." You can look those terms up on either of the sites previously mentioned.

BTW, technically, I am still a Mormon because I have not been excommunicated and I haven't officially "quit" or had my membership revoked. So I am neither an ex-mormon or an anti-mormon. I am an unbelieving mormon.
