So the Father of the Father was running the whole universe.
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.
That is EASY, because that is where mankind lives!
Blaine: Oh. You are saying that this
is the only planet upon which men can live? I might remind you that
before the continent of Africa was discovered, men thought the animals they
knew of in Europe and Asia were the only possible animals that God had
created. Then they went to Africa and discovered new ones--the same with
when Australia was discovered. Also, nw races of me were
discovered--like the aborigines of Australia, and the midget natives of
Africa. Don't you think there might be a few other planets out
there where men can live and prosper? In the milky Way Galaxy alone
there are Billions of stars, many almost identical to our own sun. There
are also billions of galaxies. Get my drift, Kevin? Need I say
more, or shall I continue to spell it all out for you?

"...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

Other gods? When the plural is used by Mormons, it means God
the
Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Ghost. These are the

plurality being referred to in the Bible in Genesis 1: 26 which
states:
"And God said, let US make man in OUR image, after OUR
likeness . . ."
