"...We must accept the fact that there was a time when Deity was much
less powerful than He is today. Then how did He become glorified and
exalted and attain His present status of Godhood? In the first place, aeons
ago God undoubtedly took advantage of every opportunity to learn the laws of
truth and as He became acquainted with each new verity He righteously obeyed
it. From day to day He exerted His will vigorously, and as a result became
thoroughly acquainted with the forces lying about Him. As He gained more
knowledge through persistent effort and continuous industry, as well as
through absolute obedience, His understanding of the universal laws continued
to become more complete. Thus He grew in experience and continued to grow
until He attained the status of Godhood. In other words, He became God
by absolute obedience to all the truth, and thereby became the author of
eternal truth. Therefore, the road that the Eternal Father followed to Godhood
was on! e of living at all times a dynamic, industrious, and completely
righteous life. There is no other way to
exaltation."
APOSTLE Milton R. Hunter, The Gospel
Through the Ages, pp. 114-115
Who was running things while he was advancing in
power?
Blaine: His Father in Heaven, most
likely. (:>) The universe is a big place. Every
time they fix the Hubble telescope and are able to see farther, they discover
more galaxies. Is there an end to these creations? Is there
an end to Gods? Probably not.
Jesus is the creator of the heavens and the earth,
right? But why did he choose this earth of all earths to atone
for the sins of mankind Kevin? You like asking questions, let's see
if you can answer one.

Other gods? When the plural is used by Mormons, it means God the

Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Ghost. These are the same

"And God
said, let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness . . ."
