How is it possible that both the bible and Mormon teaching are right. it is NOT. It seems that some do not even read the question.
LDS
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
http://scriptures.lds.org/dc/contents
93:29 Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be.
33 For man is spirit. The elements are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy;
It seems that the mormon god did NOT CREAT MAN
Question if the elements are eternal and God was once a man like us, then how can the LDS god be the creator. it seems that the LDS god is not all powerfull if he was a man like us at one time. where did he come from then, who created your LDS god if he was a man like us. Before the LDS god was a god who was his god. it had to have a beginning.

you're right. the mormon God did not create man. The bible teaching is the one and only true teaching of God and the creation of man. email me sometime at swordhonestyriver@yahoo.com. i would like to talk to you more on this subject.

there is not any "Christian faith". there are various distinctive Christian church homes, with distinctive ideals on the subject of the character of God the daddy, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Ghost. there is not any unmarried Christian faith or perception, there is not any solidarity in Christianity. because of this, you could no longer learn one church's ideals of Jesus to Christianity usually. As for the quote you cite (without references), it is so bizarre it incredibly much does not deserve fact. the place did you get it from? enable me wager - it got here from some 0.33 hand checklist of what some Mormon mentioned one hundred years or so in the past, and you will look ahead to all the Mormons right here to declare that it does not reflect Mormon ideals, after which you will say, see, a Mormon mentioned this and you do no longer know what you think. Am I precise? the place did this quote come from?

Created is another way of saying organized. The elements (matter) is eternal. God took that matter that was in the form of intelligences and organized them into spirits. Then took elements and man physical bodies and then combined the two.

You're right, it had it have a beginning somewhere, but our minds cannot grasp the expanse of time there has been.
He is our creator, He created our spirits and bodies. He is an exalted man, which we can also become. Why is that so hard to fathom? His God was His Father, and so on and so on. We cannot comprehend it and do not need to. We need to know that HE is our Heavenly Father, His SON Jesus Christ died for us on the cross and atonned for our sins.
Did you read that whole chapter - section 93? Read the WHOLE thing, not just parts and you will understand we believe God created us...

Don't make this harder than it is. The atoms or spiritual energy or essence of what things are created out of have always existed. God created man. Under the direction of God the Father, Jesus Christ organized and created the earth. Have a happy day.

As man is now, god once was. As god is now man may become. Its not a new theory it. It was first put forth around the time of the reformation. By the way it was also one of the premesis of Battlestar Gallactica

CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?????? WHO really cares? live and let live.
Organized religions do nothing but seperate and trivialize others. If you have a relationship with a higher power that satisfies you then BE F#$KING HAPPY and respect that others may have their own beliefs. JUST BECAUSE THEY DIFFER FROM YOUR BELIEFS DOESN"T MEAN THEY ARE WRONG

Man created god not the other way around. ;) So the Mormons, while still pretty out there, are more intelligent than you.
