LDSaints("Mormons"),do you believe that some people will become all-knowing,omnipresent and omnipotent as God?

Question

Is it true that you believe in this?

Answer 1

Hi friend. Don't listen to Sasi. She doesn't understand Mormon doctrine as well as she thinks she does.

Mormons do not believe they will ever be greater than God. Like many other Christian denominations (specifically the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic branches of Christianity), Mormons do believe in "theosis," the idea that man can progress to become more like God. Historically, this concept was had among the earliest Christians.

Mormons believe in the Bible, which teaches: "To him that overcometh will I [Christ] grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." So we believe that we can become like God through the power of Christ, but not that we will ever be greater than God. We will always worship God the Father and Christ the Son. To use traditional Christian terminology (and not terminology that only Mormons understand), it would probably be more accurate to say that Mormons believe they can become angels in the next life (although that phrasing doesn't exactly capture Mormon belief either).

Answer 2

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

Then the white stone mentioned in Revelation 2:17, will become a Urim and Thummim to each individual who receives one, whereby things pertaining to a higher order of kingdoms will be made known;

Answer 3

I believe that we will continue to progress and become more like God; however, I do not believe that we will ever be equal to God. He will always be our God, and we will always worship Him. Will eternal progression one day lead to being able to create, perhaps, but I live my life to return my Heavenly Father and to live with my family again. That is my goal. Anything else that eternal life brings with it will added blessings given by God.

Answer 4

To understand our LDS concept of Godhood,
you can understand it by our earthlife.

Our earth parents gave us birth, and raise us up. When we grew up got married, we make the next generation.
So although we are parent our selves to our children, we are also children to our own parents.

Answer 5

Ah, we have a semantics problem here. The Mormon definition of God is a fluid thing. There are, you see, billions of gods in the Mormon hierarchy and all good Mormon males hope they will, one day, become a god with their own planet of worshipping inhabitants (sexually procreated by themselves).

Answer 6

I hope so. Wouldn't that be so great?
