Amen, lupie.

As the Holy Spirit indwells us, we become Christ-like.

We do not become another Christ.

To read Joseph Smith and the teaching of the Mormons is to understand just how far that church is from Biblical truth.

"God himself, the Father of us all was once a man like us." (History of the Church, Vol 6, Joseph Smith p 305).

"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!" (Teachings of the Prophet, J. F. Smith p 345).

"The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man's" (Doctrines and Covenants 130:22).

"There is an infinite number of holy personages, drawn from worlds without number, who have passed on to exaltation and are thus Gods." (Mormon Doctrine, McConkie pp 576-577)

But what do the Scriptures say?

"A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." -- Matthew 12:35-37

You are mixing apples an oranges some is doctrine some of your stuff is from a sermon which is not doctrine!

This one is the only Doctrine

“The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s” (Doctrines and Covenants 130:22).

The rest is discourse or opinion!
