August 3 — God is God Because He Fathered Children. Matthew 10:38 “And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.”

Everyone calling themselves Christian has come to the place in life where it’s decided a trek to Jerusalem is necessary.
I’ve often wondered what the man Simon, who carried the cross for Jesus, must’ve been thinking on that fateful day. Matthew 27:32. The trek to Jerusalem, however, doesn’t end with our simple acceptance of Him.
It should also include our unbridled loyalty to follow Him all the way to Jerusalem. For many, this includes the loss of families, jobs, homes, and sometimes even life itself.
When I say that it’s tragic my people don’t think about these things, it’s a gross understatement.
The life of a Mormon is wrapped up in their duties necessary to becoming a god themselves. Unfortunately, they’ve also believe they know how God became God.
Be sure to share the truth with a Mormon you know by explaining the meaning of the word eternal, which is what God is!

Three Degrees of Glory, pp. 10-11 “…there are three degrees of glory in the Celestial Kingdom and only those who attain the highest degree of Celestial Glory will be candidates to become what God is, and graduate. … in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this Order of the Priesthood; (meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage) …
Those who are denied endless increase [spirit children] cannot be what God is, because that is what, in connection with other things, makes him God.
The eternity of the marriage covenant ought to be understood by Latter-day Saints clearly to be the sealing of at least one woman to one man for time and for all eternity.” — Melvin J. Ballard, Discourse Delivered in Ogden Tabernacle, September 22, 1922 [emp. added]
I just shake my head. Liars all….and the early church leaders were all about ‘collecting’ wives. Seems to me that God will spit them out of His mouth for eternity.
Yeah, I’m not sure how they justify the whole godhood thing considering that God said He wouldn’t share His glory…
Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Two thoughts;
What sort of god has eternal spiritual sex to propagate — except when he had physical sex with Mary to get Jesus a body?
Secondly, the need for more than one wife?!?!!?
Along those same lines…if their theory was true, how could someone even think about praying to a god like that?
