You are not creating; procreating is not creation, but close. That is why your authority is not absolute.

Hold it, hold it. Would you "enlighten" me, please, if you hold positions counter to LDS theology?

(1)Do not LDS believe that God's means of creation is indeed literal procreation? Does not Father-God and Mother-God have literal spiritual children up there who are simply waiting to inhabit bodies down here?

In other words, more than in any other faith, isn't procreation and creation linked in LDS theology to as high of a degree as you can get?

I mean, this theology is so set that McConkie said that the Father-god's paternity of Christ was literal. Brigham basically said the same thing, as did other LDS prophets.

Excuse me Cofian!

Common sense we were spirits before we join with our body here on earth!

What goes on in your mind Cofian?

And yes Heavenly Father did BEGAT His ONLY BEGOTTEN Son Jesus Christ!

How many times need you say the same thing over and over let along in the same thread!

Sorry to be unclear, our procreation is not absolute creation, because we are not self sufficient, Gods is creation because he is self sufficient. (He also creates planets’ but not though procreation although that would be a sight to see. :-)
