Since you've told me that higher gods are more powerful than lower gods, and because Gods can have multiple sons.

Mormons think God has a father and a grandfather, etc. Gods can have more than one child. So the god you worship can have an uncle. Your fellow Mormons have said that Higher level gods are more powerful. If the uncle goes bad and if more powerful than the god you worship, can he not control him? Can he not influence him to do bad things just like Satan?

So tell me where I went wrong then!!!

The people who say I know nothing about Mormonism sure seem to have a problem with explaining it, especially since they were verified by other Mormons on this site. See my earlier questions.

Alas, the gods are wroth more often than not, but a god always has the choice whether or not to stick to his principles! (if he has any, or happens to be "the god of principles.") This is why Zeus and Hera are always at odds with their children... Never mind that they basically wiped out or enslaved their parents, the Titans.
So uncle god cannot "make" a subordinate nephew-god become evil, he may destroy or imprison or condemn them to eternal torture... But in the end, the gods must choose to stand, or submit...

Wait, if absolute power corrupts absolutely, then... Oh dear...

God has created, is running, and will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin and Destination of the Universe. God was, is, will be everywhere, God was never Created and will never die / be destroyed. God is beyond Life and Death. All religions of world teach human way to get close to God. You give your Best, God will give thy Best. Ask God for help and forgive, God will help and forgive you. Pray; Worship and Thank God for everything. Remember wherever there is Happiness in Life, there will be Sorrow. To get Happiness, you must master Sorrow. For Success in Life; Believe in Self and God, Learn from Past, Concentrate in Present, Plan for Future. Have control on, be the master of, not the slave of your body, senses, and mind. Purpose of this Life is to Gain and Share utmost Knowledge and Experience to differentiate and choose Right, Good, God against Wrong, Bad, Devil. Set your Desire level perfect or OK to be brave, no low to be coward, no high to be cruel. You have rights of Survival, Self Defence, and Freedom.

IF IF God, our Heavenly Father, has uncles or cousins or grandfathers, or whatever, IF this is so (and we don't know, God never told us) then none of them will "go bad", if they are as our Heavenly Father is.

Jesus told us that, in His Father's kingdom, the first shall be last and the last shall be first. This was in response to the mother o one of His disciples asking, as she beleived that HER son should receive more of a Heavenly reward than anyone else.

God seeks those with humility, with perfect love, to be His heirs. Those with a desire for power will never make it to the Celestial Kingdom.

Those that are with God are those that crave happiness, crave peace, crave joy. No one is in POWER. No one will ever be evil again, in the presence of our heavenly Father.

Im not Mormon, but i think i can tackle this. The spiritual hierarchy is not the same as a human one. Its not like the Uncle God can beat his Nephew God's ***, that would be a little off right? In a spiritual hierarchy nobody is complaining about their place except for that one, what was his name..Lucipher I belive?

I don't believe a god CAN turn evil. That is just not possible. They are perfected or they would not be a 'god'.
So, your question can't really be answered, or I guess the answer would be no.
Think about it - a god is a perfected person (that's what we believe) so if they are perfect, how can they ever sin or do evil? They can't.

A God cannot turn evil for starters for they are perfect. Second God the father has all the Glory, there are none other equal to him even if he has shared his glory with others.

somebody shoot me now! pay attention to those idiots: The question exchange into: Can god turn evil? individuals are replying with: "god is the main merciful, maximum Gracious" "God is love" "no because of the fact he's ideal" "no hes organic good" " he's organic." " he's the main ideal being..." And the trash keeps coming. study the previous testomony. God tells human beings to kill and that they kill. He destroyers entire cities for disobeying him. Turns a woman into salt for looking back. Kills each and every residing element in the international with a flood, and so on... organic as canines crap. As merciful and gracious as Hitler. PLEASE! besides the shown fact that, to respond to your question greater at as quickly as, technically speaking, god can not exchange into evil for the precise same reason historic kings ought to not destroy the regulation, their be conscious exchange into regulation and god's will is regulation. SO! If god says, "Joe Smith, or Abraham in case you want, bypass kill your son to coach your loyalty to me." Then Joe smith, or Abraham, had greater useful bypass kill his boy. it is not evil if god tells you to do it. So IF god did exchange into what human beings might think of of as evil, then he nonetheless couldn’t be evil because of the fact evil = sin and sin is the disobeying of gods will. Translation, something god does, kill, maim, destroy, homicide, torture, and so on... is nice because of the fact god pronounced so. to not do exchange into god wills, so, to not kill your son if asked, that's disobeying gods will and is hence a sin and their for evil. Get it? besides, this is all beside the point for the reason that god is a fantasy and doesn’t exist. he's purely one thing made by making use of guy to fill the voice of lack of awareness till they locate something greater useful. ~~

Why is it that you only want Mormons to answer this question? I was raised mormon and this question does not make sense.
