I see so many devout members arguing against the doctrines surrounding this message. Believing we are gods in embryo? What do you think that means and how do you think you might be able to tell whether or not other members of the Church understand what that means? To me it simply means that is what people are. We are God, or the species of life which we call God, the same kind of being our Father in heaven is. The good as well as the bad. We are all God just as we are all people. The goal for most of us, I hope, is to become as good as we can possibly be, and I think most of us want to be that good because we would rather be good than to be bad, or evil. I think a lot of us just don't know how to be as good as we can be. We all have some ideas on how to become as good as we can possibly be, though. We are working on figuring it out. We're experimenting. We're taking a stab at it. Hopefully, eventually, most of us will figure out how to be the best we can be.

We may be the same species, but he has progressed (grown up?) more than we have. We the embryo, juvenile, version have a long way to go to become like him. But I believe it possible. Other Christian religions don't. And as I said I see many member making the same arguments as the other Christian religions do. 1

If we choose to take that journey, yes, if we choose to become like our Father in heaven. But even if we don't take that journey and choose to become like him we are still the same kind of being he is, as a species. Satan is correct when he says that he is God, too, because he is also the same kind of being as our Father in heaven. Satan is just a bad person who is God, or in other words, a bad version of God. The bad, evil kind of God that we can choose to be, too. So as God, or in other words as people, we can choose to be good or we can choose to be evil and either way we are still God, as a kind of being, though not yet at our full potential. 7 minutes ago, JLHPROF said: We may be the same species, but he has progressed (grown up?) more than we have.

We will either become more and more like our Father in heaven and more like our best brother or our most evil brother. And those who don't think they can may not ever reach their full potential. 1
