Spartan117 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 I can definitely see parallels there. What I have been taught, and my own personal belief and understanding is that Moses is a "god" right now. Exulted. At no point would we EVER worship Moses. Same thing with most of the prophets who have passed on, I would imagine. My understanding is that God the Father is X amount of ... degrees I think might be the right word ... above us. For ever grace we move to, He is glorified, our glory adds to his. That continues until we reach whatever "level" of exultation he do. But at no point will we EVER be on the "level" as our Heavenly Father. The farther we grow, the glory be His forever. I don't see the LDS doctrine of exultation meaning there would be a point one day where I should shake hands with God instead of falling down to kiss his sandal. I guess it has to do with context and definition?
Guest mysticmorini Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 There are none like G_d, in the sense that we are all unique. I could say there are none like me that doesn't mean there are not other humans or middle aged white males just that there are none like me in a different sense.

I was referring to a hierarchal order. It is said in the scriptures that God the Father is God to Jesus Christ. I've tried to wrap my head around what that relationship must be life. Reminds me of why I used to drink.
Guest mysticmorini Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 In my experience 99% of LDS-non LDS scriptural misunderstandings arise from people misunderstanding the frame of reference a statement was made. Another classic example is when it says God is one.

Isaiah 45:5I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God.If I may be sold bold to answer your question with a question, what answer would satisfy you that your belief about this verse is a context oversight and is 100% in harmony with LDS teachings and doctrine?

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, 1852I 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.
