Welcome to truthtalk. Are you new to the group, or have you been lurking for a while, or are you an old timer returned to TT? Do you have a name you would like to be called, or is Elextech what you prefer?
Anyway, I could not agree with you more on your response. But, according to Mormon lore, jesus was a spirit child born of a god (the one from Kolob) and one of his many wives, and then this god (the same one) had sex with Mary, a human, and produced a human body for this jesus spirit to enter. The LDS claim that this god (the one from Kolob) is the God of the bible, and that this jesus is the Jesus of the bible, and some here on TT disagree.
So, I was asking the LDS members of TT to clarify the LDS beliefs to help me resolve what to my non-LDS belief is a contradiction, i. e., that since a human man has to be married and sealed in the LDS temple to become an LDS god, then either their jesus was not married, thus, cannot become a god, or else he was married, which, of course, is not scripturally supported. This all ultimately points to the fact that I believe the Mormon jesus is not the biblical Jesus, nor is the Mormon god, the Biblical God, while the LDS maintain that they are the same.
I like to explore these apparent contradictions with the LDS members of TT. They are very good at explaining these things to the other members of TT.
Again, welcome. Perry

The first chapter of the gospel of John says Jesus is the Word, who
was with God, and was God in the beginning. He doesn't need to become
God. He already is / was God before His incarnation.
