From Mormon Scripture and writings. This is why I don’t even like discussing stuff with Mormons, they are either deluded about their own teachings, ignorant of them, or lying. It’s a constant pattern and battle to just get simple, informed, honesty out of a Mormon:

In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it.(April 1844, Teachings of The Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 349)

I will preach on the plurality of Gods. I have selected this text for that express purpose. I wish to declare I have always and in all congregations when I have preached on the subject of the Deity, it has been the plurality of Gods. It has been preached by the Elders for fifteen years.(June 16, 1844, ibid, p. 370)

If Abraham reasoned thus If Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and John discovered that God the Father of Jesus Christ had a Father, you may suppose that He had a Father also. Where was there ever a son without a FATHER? And where was there ever a FATHER without first being a son? Whenever did a tree or anything spring into existence without a progenitor? And everything comes in this way. Paul says that which is earthly is in the likeness of that which is heavenly, Hence if Jesus had a Father, can we not believe that He had a Father also?...(June 16, 1844, ibid, p. 373)

...they, that is the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth.(Abraham 4:1; also see 4:2-29)

President Joseph F. Smith taught: “I know that God is a being with body, parts and passions....Man was born of woman; Christ, the Savior, was born of woman; and God, the Father was born of woman” (Church News, 19 Sept, 1936, p.2).

We can become Gods like our Heavenly Father. This is exaltation...They [people] will become gods....and will be able to have spirit children also. These spirit children will have the same relationship to them as we do to our Heavenly Father. They will be an eternal family....They will have everything that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have, all power, glory, dominion, and knowledge.(Gospel Principles, page 290, 1986 edition or older; copyright 1978 by Corporation of The President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
