It’s clear to me from what has been revealed that Christ was the Only Begotten Son of God from the beginning. He is the creator of all things — so certainly divine. However his work not completed until he had lived on earth, carried out the great atoning sacrifice and been resurrected.

Again, in your side-stepping, you continue to contradict the teaching and doctrines of mormon prophets and scriptures. You expressly contradict book of abraham where it states that the gods created. The bible expressly states Jesus created. Why is Jesus a "God" as a spirit child - an event that only can occur after being a human. Since spirit children are 'begotten', you further run into contradictions in lds theology - as satan was begotten as a spirit child too.

You probably know that Latter-day saints believe that Jesus was the creator of all things under direction of the Father. In Genesis we read that God states “let us make man in our image, after our likeness” indicating more than one was involved in the creation.

As I have mentioned previously, Jesus was unique — unlike any other of the creations of the Father. He was The Only Begotten Son of God in the bosom of the Father, the Firstborn of every creature, the Creator of all things in heaven and earth, foreordained before the foundation of the world to be the Savior.

Best regards,

Normandy
