Is not Jesus an exalted man?

1 Tim 3
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory

When one receives their glory from God the Father they become exalted!

2 Peter 1
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Jesus did not start out as a man and then later become an exalted man/god. Jesus was God (from all eternity) and he lowered himself and took on human flesh.

The Mormon god is a man who (through hard work and obedience to the laws and ordinances of the council of the Gods on the planet Kolob) ultmately was given the opportunity to become one of the legion of gods in the universe.

The Mormon god is not God Almighty who became Man.

Don't confuse the two.
