Well said Doc. It is all about the person of Christ and the nature of God. It IS revealed on every page of scripture because He IS the Word and all of the Word is about revealing WHO God is (and who we are in comparison). He is God, we are not. He always was and always will be. There is none like Him. We are like grass that withers and fades. He is a triune God. We cannot fully understand that, but we must believe that by faith. And that is not of ourselves. Satan's fall was due to his pride in desiring to be like the Most High was that he wanted to be like God. (note it was not like all of the "most highs"). Why then should man be honored and exalted and be made "like a god" for doing the same thing?
It just doesn't make sense, does it? It makes God out to be a liar.
As the Holy Spirit indwells us, we become Christ-like.
We do not become another Christ.
To read Joseph Smith and the teaching of the Mormons is to understand just how far that church is from Biblical truth.
"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!" (Teachings of the Prophet, J. F. Smith p 345). "The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man's" (Doctrines and Covenants 130:22). "There is an infinite number of holy personages, drawn from worlds without number, who have passed on to exaltation and are thus Gods." (Mormon Doctrine, McConkie pp 576-577) "God himself, the Father of us all was once a man like us." (History of the Church, Vol 6, Joseph Smith p 305).
But what do the Scriptures say?
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." -- Matthew 12:35-37"A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
