God says in the Bible that there is only one creator of this universe and everything in it whom we call God and that having any extras gods is not permitted.
Mormonism says you can be your own god.
That right there is completely contradictory and is the beginning of what defines a cult.
I’ve studied Mormonism, along with many other cults (including Christianity). Mormons believe that one’s punishment or grace follows the degree of good or bad of the soul. If you’re good, you get good rewards. If you’re terribly bad, you get terrible punishment. If you’re the ultimate in bad, you get ultimately bad punishment. If you’re god-like, you will get god-like rewards.
So, this brings up questions.
a. Should a person’s punishment or rewards be directly related to their performance? (notice the liberal/conservative angle?)
b. What is the likelihood that somebody can be god-like?
c. While you’re dishing out judgments of others, what are your odds of receiving god-like rewards?
Interesting isn’t it? I have thought a lot about this stuff as I’ve aged. I personally believe it is not wise to attach our egos to our metaphysical beliefs-it hinders the learning process in the most important matters of life.
