BTW.. you claim you love Jesus...

The pejorative tone of your post is most off putting to Lurkers, you might want to tone it down a bit.

Please tells us what you know of the way He thinks of you...

Jesus Loves me so much that he was willing to suffer for all my sins, and then die for me. How Can I do anything but love him in return?

How does God feel towards you ???

God loves me so much that he allowed me to come down to earth and become more like him, then knowing I was weak, allowed his only begotten son to come and give his life for me. No man deserves the love that the Godhead has shown us, they united in their love for me, have planned to give me every opportunity to return to them and inherit their kingdom if I will just accept and obey their commandments. I would that I was a better Christian than the poor example I am now... This love has been extended to every man, which I believe does not lessen it's power one bit.

God loves me so much that he allowed me to come down to earth and become more like him, then knowing I was weak, allowed his only begotten son to come and give his life for me. [DU]

Alright, DU, I know this kind of statement just rolls off the tip of a typical Mormon, but you do comprehend how this sounds to a non-Mormon? Let's unpack this:

"God...allowed me to come down to earth" [do you realize, DU, that to a non-Mormon unfamiliar with Mormonism this sounds like you're comparing yourself to the incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ, coming down to earth to incarnate a body?]

You might answer, "So? Of course. He was my elder bro in the pre-exis...we hung out. He's a son of God from wayyy back; so am I. He came down & inhabited a body & so did I. What of it?"

Next phrase: ...become more like him.

Well, this sounds harmless enough. (I mean what Christian is anti-godliness or anti-Christlikeness?) I'll let you answer what you meant by this -- but usually Lds when they say something to this effect, actually mean becoming like Christ to the point of becoming a future god, or New Age-like, realize the embryo-god within them.

And when you catch the fuller drift of Joseph Smith statements (D&C 93 & otherwise), Smith was obsessed with making men eternity-to-eternity on par with God!

I mean not only does Smith claim contemporary people were present in in a "pre-existence" and saw Heavenly Father pick Jesus over Satan as the world's savior, but even before that Smith places the spirit-intelligences of men as equal with Heavenly Father & millions of other gods! Here's what I mean:

"The intelligence of spirits had no beginning, neither will it have an end. That is good logic...Intelligence is eternal and exists upon a self-existent principle...The first principles of man are self-existent with God." [Joseph Smith, Teachings of Presidents of the Church, p. 210]

What utter blasphemy! The very Personal Name of the Being who appeared to Moses in Exodus 3:14 identified His Name as I AM -- meaning the Self-Existent One. Yet in one fell swoop, Smith puts everybody on the same "self-existent with God" level from eternity past!
