Mormons, do you believe that God was once a man?

Question

"In spite of the opposition of the sects, in the face of direct charges of blasphemy, the Church proclaims the eternal truth: 'AS MAN IS, GOD ONCE WAS: AS GOD IS, MAN MAY BE." (Apostle James Talmage, The Articles of Faith, p. 430)

"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man,.,. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345)

"God himself, the Father of us all, is a glorified, exalted, immortal, resurrected Man! (Apostle Bruce McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 1979 edition, p. 643)

"... you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done before you,..." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 346

"If we should take a million of worlds like this and number their particles, we should find that there are more Gods than there are particles of matter in those worlds." (Apostle Orson Pratt, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 2, p. 345)

Answer 1

Proud to be LDS- that is blasphemy. He is the I AM. He was in the beginning and has always been God. Read John chapter 1. It will explain that to you. In the meantime be careful during thunderstorms, you are close to being struck by lightening!

"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." John 1:1

Answer 2

my answer to this question is this,no one in the world see how things firs began.no one see GOD.no one can explain what GOD is like,a man or a woman.without the Bible people can think nonsense about GOD,so l do not believe that God is once a man.no one can compare, what GOD is like.GOD creates man,and everything.no one created GOD.
