Some years ago, I worked with a Ward president. I would really press him about their belief that they could become gods. The “God Makers” film was popular at the time. His response was to bring me his copy of Elaine Pagel’s book, “The Gnostic Gospels,” to read.

Ever since then I have been pursuing that connection. I do see a definite Mormon connection with certain Gnostic beliefs. The lead article, though not mentioning Gnosticism by name, had quite a lot to say along these lines.

You seem to think this is irrelevant, the experience I related tells me otherwise.

I think it is NOT going to be mentioned at ALL by MORMON missionaries or ANYONE trying to lure someone INTO MORMONism.

Especially if they are leaning on the 'restored' mantra.
