Mormons!! Do you really believe that once you died, you will become a God yourself and make your own planet?

Answer 1

No. We become "gods" because we will have no end.


15 Therefore, if a man marry him a wife in the world, and he marry her not by me nor by my word, and he covenant with her so long as he is in the world and she with him, their covenant and marriage are not of force when they are dead, and when they are out of the world; therefore, they are not bound by any law when they are out of the world.
16 Therefore, when they are out of the world they neither marry nor are given in marriage; but are appointed angels in heaven, which angels are ministering servants, to minister for those who are worthy of a far more, and an exceeding, and an eternal weight of glory.
17 For these angels did not abide my law; therefore, they cannot be enlarged, but remain separately and singly, without exaltation, in their saved condition, to all eternity; and from henceforth are not gods, but are angels of God forever and ever.
18 And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife, and make a covenant with her for time and for all eternity, if that acovenant is not by me or by my word, which is my law, and is not sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, through him whom I have anointed and appointed unto this power, then it is not valid neither of force when they are out of the world, because they are not joined by me, saith the Lord, neither by my word; when they are out of the world it cannot be received there, because the angels and the gods are appointed there, by whom they cannot pass; they cannot, therefore, inherit my glory; for my house is a house of order, saith the Lord God.
19 And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the new and everlasting covenant, and it is sealed unto them by the Holy Spirit of promise, by him who is anointed, unto whom I have appointed this power and the keys of this priesthood; and it shall be said unto them—Ye shall come forth in the first resurrection; and if it be after the first resurrection, in the next resurrection; and shall inherit fthrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and depths—then shall it be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, that he shall commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, and if ye abide in my covenant, and commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, it shall be done unto them in all things whatsoever my servant hath put upon them, in time, and through all eternity; and shall be of full force when they are out of the world; and they shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to their exaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the kseeds forever and ever.
20 Then shall they be gods, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from aeverlasting to everlasting, because they continue; then shall they be above all, because all things are subject unto them. Then shall they be bgods, because they have call power, and the angels are subject unto them.

Answer 2

That's not quite how it works. I don't know where people came up with the whole planet thing. Actually, most people probably got that from Ed Decker.

If we are righteous and keep our covenants we do indeed have the ability to become Gods and Goddesses. But there is no doctrine on whether or not we will have our own planet. Not all Mormons will become Gods. Likewise, some people who are not LDS in this life, will have the same opportunities in the next life.

Also, whoever said Mormon women do not receive the same things as men is incorrect.

Answer 3

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 4

Only the most obedient, worthy and faithful will receive the increase of lives. You have to obey every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God. You have to endure faithful to the end. Then, if you have entered into the new and everlasting covenant of marriage, you may be blessed to become like unto God to inherit all that the Father hath as a joint heir with Christ of the Father's Kingdom. Now, if we are to become recipients of all that the father hath, is not that like becoming as God is, becoming like God and enjoying the same blessings? That includes having worlds of our own and spirit offspring of our own, like unto God having us. Only a small portion will ever receive that fullness because only a few will merit it through their obedience and faithfulness.
Study the whole thing before making any rash conclusions.

Answer 5

Planet? I believe I will receive a white stone.

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 6

In answering your question, let me ask you one to ponder. What happens after we die? After going to heaven, do we all sit around and drink mint juleps and shoot cupid type arrows at each other? I am being facetious, but I think that we will have a purpose in heaven and will have important things to do. Just like here on earth there were things to do likewise, God's ministry will continue. Those souls who did not have a change to hear and learn about Christ will have an opportunity to do so in heaven. In other words, there will be missionary opportunities for the faithful to preach to the unlearned.

Addi tonally, we will have the eternities to grow and progress. Will be be stagnant there in heaven? No, I do not think so. As we grow and develop our potentials here on earth,. I think all of that progression does not come to a screeching halt in heaven. I believe (as do Mormons) that we will continuing to progress developmentally in heaven. We will have an eternity of growth and progression. And part of the progression, is to fulfill a divinely established pattern of doing what the Father did. We can have the opportunity to create and populate our own worlds. What a potential for human kind!! What a potential for each of us!! It is part of eternal progression. It is a natural continuation of our exhaltation and eternal potential.

Answer 7

Please remember that all Mormons also have their own viwes on things! we all have the same basic beliefs yes. You can have 5 different baptists in a room together and they can all believe if you believe jesus died on the cross you are going to heaven, but they may disagree on other topics. Its the same with Mormon. But we become GODS becase we are in a immortal life in heaven.

Answer 8

Yeah and I'm looking forward to it too!

Hello, are you listening to Ed Decker? He's going to tell you "as Mormons are, I once was." But what he's NOT going to tell you is how many times he's been bankrupt (more than 2 less than 100) and how most born-again Christian sects have discredited him...

There is more to the story, try getting it from the source. Then we'll talk.

Answer 9

I don't think so little, God is not God of this earth only but of the universe. Maybe we get more than a planet, maybe we won't only God can say.

Answer 10

Satan says:
Genesis 3:5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God..."

He's still saying it...

God says:
Isaiah 44:6 This is what Yahweh, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies, says: "I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.

The Book of Mormon even gets this one correct:
Alma 11 -
26 And Zeezrom said unto him: Thou sayest there is a true and living God?
27 And Amulek said: Yea, there is a true and living God.
28 Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God?
29 And he answered, No.

But Joseph Smith doesn't believe in the Book of Mormon?
Here, then, is eternal life - to know the only wise and true God; and 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, pps 346, 347)

"As man is, God once was,
As God is, man may become - Lorenzo Snow.

How many Gods there are, I do not know. But there never was a time when there were not Gods... (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, p. 333)

In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people in it (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 349).

Joseph Smith believes in multiple Gods.
I will preach on the plurality of Gods. I have selected this text for that express purpose. I wish to declare I have always and in all congregations when I have preached on the subject of the Deity, it has been the plurality of Gods. It has been preached by the Elders for fifteen years. I have always declared God to be a distinct personage, Jesus Christ a separate and distinct personage from God the Father, and that the Holy Ghost was a distinct personage and a Spirit; and these three constitute three distinct personages and three Gods. (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 370)

Joseph Smith believes in one God.
Which Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are one God, infinite and eternal, without end. Amen. (Doctrine and Covenants 20:28).

I'm so confused about what they believe...

Answer 11

(Read D&C 132:19) We will be joint-heirs with Christ and be as Gods. We will not create our own planets but will live with our families and God in the Celestial Kingdom.
