Ignore her. The “scripture” she quoted was from an Egyptian Funeral papayri that joseph smith claimed to have translated, which has many times proven to be completely wrong. And yes, I DO read Egyptain Hieroglyphs (studied at UCLA). I learned them to prove the above text “correct”, and found out the opposite. And translation does mean translation, not storytelling.

Secondly, the lowercase gods in the first commandment refer to PAGAN deities that were common objects of worship. There God is commanding them not to just include Him in their household gods, they are to worship Him alone.

For us to believe that we can even come CLOSE to becoming a god, is BLASPHEMY.

From the Book of Abraham. Chapter 1 verse 1

I/1) [”Osiris, the god’s father], prophet of Amon-Re, King of the Gods, prophet of Min who slaughters his enemies, prophet of Khonsu, the [one who exercises] authority in Thebes, (I/2) [. . .] . . . Hor, the justified, son of the similarly titled overseer of secrets and purifier of the god, Osorwer, the justified, born by the [housewife and sistrum-player of ] (I/3) [Amon]-Re, Taikhibit, the justified! May your ba-spirit live among them, and may you be buried on the west [of Thebes].” (I/4) [”O Anubis(?),51 . . .] justification(?). (I/5) [May you give to him] a good and splendid burial on the west of Thebes as on the mountains of Ma[nu](?).”

Correct, only a fake prophet makes a fake translation of a real document.
