I mean no disrespect.
It's just that what you're telling me goes directly against what our Bible state.
We are creation of God and only God is God. We're not nor will we ever be.
I hope you'll understand when I say that, based on what you've told me, I understand why I've found so many websites written by Christians about your religion. What you're telling me here is very different from the message of Christian pastors, teachers, theologians, etc. Very different.

Your reaction is common. The thing you have to see past, is being a literal spirit child of our Father in Heaven, rather than just a creation. We have a potential to be just like our Father in Heaven, just as Romans 8:16, 17 states.
Our teachings do not go against what the Bible says, it just goes counter to how you read and interpret the Bible.
As your mortal father is your father, and will always be your father, even tho you grow up and become a father yourself, so will G_d be our G_d, and will always be our G_d.
We will be the first to state that our teachings are different from mainstream Christianity, but we will also tell you they are restored truths.
