  1. Yes. Whether the newly formed Gods will use their reproductive organs to produce spirit children is questionable. I haven't see any teachings of your church which say how Mother and Father interacted in their marriage to perform this. But if they did, one shouldn't be offended by the thought.
  2. The introduction notes to Doctrine and Covenants 132 says "Celestial marriage and a continuation of the family unit enable men to become gods".
  3. When do spirits of men and women become gods?
  4. What glory did Jesus have before he was born to his heavenly mother?
  5. When and how?
  6. Immortal men and women (as souls) are gods before being born to heavenly parents?
  7. This wouldn't explain why Joseph Smith retranslated John 1:1. "In the beginning was the gospel preached through the Son. And the gospel was the word, and the word was with the Son, and the Son was with God, and the Son was of God". "The gospel is the word and the word was with the Son" as opposed to Jesus being the Word in the KJV, and the Word (Jesus) became flesh. What was Joseph Smith trying to convey? If the word was with the Son and the gospel was the word, what became flesh? Jesus or the word? Was the word with Jesus before he is born to his heavenly mother?
  8. The "kind" of being God is ... is a deity. So no, I don't believe we are this "kind" of being. You may consider yourself an eternal (unformed) being but you will never be an eternal (unformed) God. By eternal being I assume you mean an eternal, uncreated intelligence. Your version of Christ was one of these before he was born to Heavenly Mother. Prior to that spiritual birth (maybe physical, a more purer form of matter?), he was not the Eternal God. I gather this from Abraham 3:21-24.
  9. Maybe not the way you understand them. But we know there is no scripture which teaches Jesus became the first spirit child of a heavenly mother who then became a God before taking on a mortal body.
  10. I'm not sure what else to add. The God of the Bible is the only true God. He has always existed as God. Jesus has always existed as God. He was never a spirit child of heavenly parents who became a God. The church created a pandora's box with its doctrine of Heavenly Mother. It cannot explain how she became a God, whether she married just a man or a God/man on the world she grew up on, or if some other Saviour provided an atonement for her sins and for the man who would become the God of our world. Maybe you know.
  11. You mean his spirit children with which he populated that world? Was Jesus even born to his heavenly mother when the Father created that other world?
  12. The kind of being that God is is a God. So I reject the idea that we are the same kind of being God is. The only being who is both God and man is Jesus Christ. Acts 17:28-29 does not imply a heavenly mother. Paul's argument is that God should not be viewed as the work of human hands. The Romans and Greeks even fashioned their Gods to appear as human (Zeus, Apollo, etc). Based on the Pearl of Great Price, your church would extend this backward in time, when spirit children, including Jesus and Lucifer, were not the same kind of being God is. Do you believe Jesus becomes the same kind of being God is when he is born to his heavenly mother?
  13. If getting power to create a world means being a God, then Heavenly Father is not God before creating his worlds.
  14. Did the Father work with others to create his world like Jesus did with Earth (who did what he saw the Father do)? Or was Jesus even born to his heavenly mother when the Father created a world for wife?
  15. God the Father is not an exalted human man from another world. Being created in the image of God does not make us underdeveloped Gods.
