Do you deny the doctrine of man becoming God and God being man? How do you live with the fact that many a prophet has affirmed this man becoming God? How do you defect from your own "praise to the man" Joseph, that made it clear that you would become a god?
please teach us. Has this doctrine change in Mormonism? Do you no longer think, by your works, that you can become a "god". Please show us how this has changed in the doctrine. I already know the answer. There is no answer.
