DAVEH: KNOCK IT OFF, Izzy. You know I have not rejected the true Christ....so please do not say that again!Michael D: If you talking about the one that's the brother of satan, who was created by the father, who was god, became a man, then became a god again... Yep, that's the wrong one, not the true, Dave H. Especially since the only way he could have become a god in the first place (acc. to LDs) was by first being a man, as his father supposedly was before he himself becoming a god, and similarly, all of those god's who succeeded his father did in their turn.
The interesting thing about all of this is that your jesus seemed to be the only one who started off as a god and became a man, or did he start as a man (as his father did), become a god (exalted is the LDS-described process), become a man again, died on the cross etc., then became a god again?
I would (and I'm sure other TTers would also) truly appreciate you clearing up that one for me, Dave H.
