So, I can find cults that are even more homogeneous than Mormons. Are you sure you don't have any inkling that Mormons might be more right because of this homogeneity?

The concept of being anointed to be God is very foreign to most of us. Any Scriptural justification for this, either Biblical or non-Biblical?

I understand how he is my elder brother because of the incarnation, but not in how we had the same roots prior to any mortal existence. I see our roots as very different.

It is very simple from my theological perspective too. Problem is that not everyone sees it as simply as I do. :-) DaveH wrote: > What is so hard about literally believing Jesus is literally > the firstborn of our Heavenly Father? Because I don't see where Scripture refers to him as the firstborn of our Heavenly Father. Firstborn refers to his humanity, his relationship with man, and his being placed far above all other men.
