2. Believing that God was once a man.
3. Believing that you can become God. does not complement the Bible. These beliefs are blasphemous.

It would sure seem this way unless you talk to a Mormon and they explain it to you. To them God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Ghost are separate entities with a single purpose. Reading the Hebrew book of Genesis would prove their point as accurate if you believe in that book. So to me number one is a non-issue.
Believing that God was once a man? While I admit that is a tough one, my little brain has a tough time with understanding “no beginning”. Having no end is easy but it just seems that it all had to start somewhere. So while I may not be exactly in their camp on this issue it doesn't bother me.
Believing that you can become God. This one is a no brainer. That is why we all worship God in the first place. If you don't believe this then I don't think you can be Christian. Christ says that He will inherit ALL that His Father has, He tells us that if we follow Him that we will be joint heirs with Him and also inherit ALL that His Father has. Does His Father have godhood?
So, after all I find your accusation of blasphemy to be greatly in error.
Mormons believe in thousands of gods. They believe the 3 Gods are for Earth, not the universe. The Father gave birth to Jesus, and to Satan, so they are brothers.
Sorry - NOT Christian!
Also, no Christian teaches we become gods of our own little worlds, nor become God at all.
Wow. Well, anyway, I like Mormons. I hope things turn out well for you and yours.
Thank you for your honest response and to a Christian what you stated IS blasphemy and shows an amazing lack of Biblical understanding.
Using your logic on #3, which I know is a standard LDS defense of this belief, then evidently Leona Helmsley’s cats became human hotel owners upon her death, since they were provided for in her will.
You can leave an inheritance to anything or anyone. It doesn’t make them you. Your own statement finishes up with the word “has.” That’s very different than “is.”
No, those are not plausible explanations..
You cannot make excuses for heresy and say its OK, its Christianity anyway...
These tenets of mormonism are blasphemy...
1. Believing there are multiple gods.
2. Believing that God was once a man.
3. Believing that you can become God. does not complement the Bible. These beliefs are blasphemous.
Just on these pagan beliefs...
Mormonism is not Christianity...
Jesus said to JAKraig, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man or woman comes to the Father except by ME.”
