If I am wrong about the creed, why are “Christians” telling me that I believe in a pagan god because I believe they are separate, and not the same personage?

Do you believe in two or three or many "gods," or in one God who is one divine nature in three divine persons?

And if you answer that you believe in two or three or many "gods," how many of those "gods" are really exalted men who started out as humans and achieved "godhood"?

I must confess though I have a high IQ, I cannot understand the question, are you asking if God is one in heart might mind and strength? Yes one in purpose, yes! One in personage, no.

I believe in a “Godhead” made up of there personages who together, or separately can be called God. I believe that to have seen God the Father, or Jesus Christ is to have seen both of them for Jesus Christ is the express image of the Father.

As man is God once was, as God is man can become. All Gods were once men, all men can become gods because we are the children of a god, and unless we grow up twisted, that will be our “Adult” state.

Think of it this way, Jesus Christ is supposed to be an example for us, he is supposed to be a type for us.

In the old testament Jesus Christ, before birth was a spirit in that he was “Pre Mortal” this Pre mortal Christ exemplifies our pre mortal state where as spirits we dwelled with God (which is why Jesus Christ could know us before he formed us in the belly, before Abraham, I am, and why the disciples clearly understanding this doctrine asked Jesus who sinned that this man was born blind him, or his parents?)

By being born, Jesus typified the perfect human life in complete obedience to God the Father’s will.

In death, resurrection, and exaltation, Jesus Christ showed the path we can follow if we will just believe on his name and keep his commandments. Thus becoming Gods as he is now.

Whether or not you believe it, you got to admit it’s a beautiful way to look at it.
