BTW my point in said Post was that those Gods are only Gods over their creations, not our God which is in complete agreement with the commandment that we have no other Gods before our creator.

DU, please point me to the LDS scriptural source for that statement, please? I have not seen it put in that way (Gods over their creations) before, and I'm pretty sure I never HEARD it either. Enosh has asked for Biblical reference, but I'm curious about the LDS reference.

CC have you heard that before?

Without going back and reading the context of DU’s quote, I will say that yes I have heard that the gods of Mormonism rule over worlds (universes) of their own creation.

When I was LDS I had briefly heard of the string theory and parallel universes, so I assumed that some of the humans that had become exalted to godhood were now ruling over parallel universes in a different space continuum or time continuum.

It's a logical construct, with Scripture that supports it, I can go look up scriptures, but the logic goes like this.
God is our God because:

He is our creator.
He is our Father (spiritually)
He authored our salvation
He has all power over us
He has created all that we can see, and has all power over it, he even created time for us.

When we become Gods it will be by emulating him exactly, so we will Create, Father spirits, author salvation for our children, have all power over our creations, and be their God.

To me this was self evident logic, I can find scriptures, for one in the Doctrine and Covenants says that all truth is independent in the sphere in which God has placed it, we will likewise be independent in the sphere which God will give us.

If you want more, gimme a break, FM me while I catch up here and I will reply later, man this thread is like a runaway locomotive - - tough to catch up with!
