Men who deny this, or who think that it degrades our Father, have no true conception of the sacredness of the most marvelous power with which God has endowed mortal men---the power of creation. Even though that power may be abused and may become a mere harp of pleasure to the wicked, nevertheless it is the most sacred and holy and divine function with which God has endowed man. Made holy, it is retained by the Father of us all, and in his exercise of that great and marvelous creative power and function, he did not debase himself, degrade himself, nor debauch his daughter. Thus Christ became the literal Son of a divine Father, and no one else was worthy to be his father." (Sermons and Missionary Services of Melvin J. Ballard, p. 167)
 
 
We were created in his likeness and come with all sorts of incredible flaws.  But we possess absolutely nothing on par with God who has the powers of omniscience and omnipresence.  Does man possess those qualities?
 
Can man make anything out of nothingness? (girlfriends can but man cannot)
 
Can man create heavens and earth?
 
Can man work for 6 days and rest on the 7th (Nope!  Man always has a honey-do list and never gets a day off)
 
Can man create rain where there was none before?
 
Can man create woman? (Nope again.  We would have if we had God's eye for beauty but, we are only good for fixin' stuff)
 
Can man keep the 10 commandments?  (Man's doesn't want to and man would have never set those restrictions on his life.  So God must have know something we don't)
 
There has been one perfect being that ever walked the earth and he was Jesus, Son of God, in spirit and flesh.
 
Except that really cute girl I saw yesterday, who must be an Angel and even they don't have God's powers or perfect wisdom, no one can ever hope to be God or possess all of God's powers.
 
Besides, he is a pretty busy guy and who wants to work the hard anyway?.....  GOD

A certain man should get a grammar checker and a spell checker. What a doofus.
