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.
[Is not Jesus an exalted man?

I’m not sure how anyone could remain UNCONFUSED given the inconsistencies.
And where does the Goddess Mother fit into all this? She must exist in this pantheon, yet she remains un-named. Why?
Please do not take my words and change them to fit your scenario.
I am not saying Jesus was not of the Godhead, I am saying his exaltation was not completed until he was tried in the flesh so that body and spirit could be united for all eternity.
There was more than one deed accomplished in his journey on earth.
He was to teach those who wanted to be joint heir with him the way!
Romans 8
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
He also came for the salvation of all mankind who would believe him and strive to keep His commandments!
I know these are hard things for you to understand and the urge to use your corporal tools to reason!
Jesus was born of God/woman manifested in the flesh to complete his mission.
Adam and Eve received bodies for their spirits that were created God.
Man was born of Adam and Eve (man/woman)
Man was created a little lower than angles but when he is resurrected he will above angels.
