It's not 100% in harmony with LDS teachings though. Brigham Young taught 100% differently.JD 3:93, Brigham Young, August 8, 1852 "........................we shall be like Him; and again, we shall become Gods............................" JD 3:93, Brigham Young, August 8, 1852 I will continue the point I am now at. The Lord created you and me for the purpose of becoming Gods like Himself;................" God said that apart from Him there is no other god and that there is NONE like Him.

Please tell me what this verse means. Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God.

But God said that that will never happen. He said there is NONE LIKE Me.

YES he did. JD 6:4, Joseph Smith, April 6, 1844 "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,................." Brigham Young also taught that. JD 3:93, Brigham Young, August 8, 1852 "Man is made an agent to himself before his God; he is organized for the express purpose, that he may become like his master. You recollect one of the Apostle's sayings, that when we see Him, we shall be like Him; and again, we shall become Gods,..........." You said we can become LIKE Him, but God said in Isaiah 46:9 "..........I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is NONE LIKE me."

God would be the one to tell us what happens in the future, not Smith. Smith never said that God said that. Therefore it is a teaching from Smith and not God.

I love that movie too. :)I'm wanting to know why Mormons believe that when God says otherwise and I am definitely not here to bash anyone.

Yes, it is easy to take a verse out of context. You have just done that with Psalm 82:6. Psalm 82:6, which reads, "I have said, Ye are gods." Some Mormons have interpreted this to mean Jesus Himself said that men could one day attain the level of deity. The problem with such an interpretation is that Jesus does not say, "Ye CAN become Gods." The text reads, "Ye ARE Gods.” Mormons don’t believe they are gods NOW. Words have meanings relative to time and place. As time goes on, the meanings of words change. For example, one hundred years ago in San Francisco, the word “gay” meant “cheerful” or “jovial.” Today, in San Francisco, the primary meaning of the word “gay” is “homosexual.”.....Evil judges of Israel were called "gods", not because they were a deity, but because they made life and death decisions upon people. Therefore they were called "gods" in irony.

Isaiah 46:9 "..........I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is NONE LIKE me." Smith taught that men can become gods. God Himself never taught that though. In fact He said that that will never happen because He said there is NONE like Him. So why is that Smith said otherwise? Here's a quote from Smith in the Journal Of Discourses. JD 6:4, Joseph Smith, April 6, 1844 "Here, then, is eternal life − to know the only wise and true God; and you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves........................." Also Brigham Young said that. JD 3:93, Brigham Young, August 8, 1852 "Man is made an agent to himself before his God; he is organized for the express purpose, that he may become like his master. You recollect one of the Apostle's sayings, that when we see Him, we shall be like Him; and again, we shall become Gods.................." I come here as a friend. As someone who cares. If I didn't care I would not come here to share this with you.
