Mormonism attempts to rob God of His glory by exhalting man to the status of God.

Can a man rob God? I think not. Can a man underestimate God? I think it happens every day.

Mainstream Christianity underestimates God, and attempts to dictate to God as to how He may, or may not, reward the faithful.

Is anything too hard for the Lord?

If you want to rule out certain things as being outside the realm of the possible, you just go on ahead and do so. I, however will stick with the following, from Isaiah 64, verse 4:

For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

If you think that rules anything out, then I suggest you read it again and ponder it some more.

I said that Mormonism attempts to rob God of His glory. It cannot and all who go to their grave beilieving the lie will understand that they will Glorify God with their destruction. The rest of us will see this and fear and laugh him to scorn saying: "This is the man that did not make God his strength." (Psalm 52)

What if God, choosing to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction; and this, that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, whom He had prepared before unto glory, even us whom He hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Perhaps you should ponder these words of Isaiah:
Isaiah 43:10 "You are My witnesses," says the LORD, "And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.

Isaiah 44:8 Do not fear, nor be afraid; Have I not told you from that time, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one."'

Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else; there is no God besides Me.

Mormonism underestimates God in a eternally fatal way. God is infinitely jealous of His glory.
