BlaineRB: I THINK we agree here, but MAYBE NOT No authoritative Mormon ever taught THAT we intend to be equal with God, or the trinity, or whatever you choose to call it. We believe that Jesus Christ as the SON is subordinate to the FATHER, and that we are and always will be subordinate to Both. Things earthly are like things heavenly--sons are subordinate to their fathers on earth, and we are the sons of God, so to speak, as we look to Him and his perfect model Son as our ideal models. We believe we will be Gods in the sense that we will have access to all power that is God's, to continue in eternity--as the parable of the prodigal son suggests, the faithful son was given access to all that his father possessed. ACCESS is the key word, here--no LDS authority ever taught that we would USURP God, as Satan wanted to do. Again, you are setting up little straw men to knock over. This is the lie MANY antiMormons perpetrate. Talk about lies!!
