I believe that we are to worship God. I believe that the only person ever on earth that has been fit to worship is Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God.
I want to be 'Christ-like' and strive for perfection even though I know as a sinner, I will never be perfect like Christ.
So...I feel in heaven that even though we are created in God's image and will be able to inheret the kingdom of God, etc, he is still our one and only God, and we are not worthy to be deemed gods and godesses, even with a little 'g'.
I find the idea that my husband or I will one day be worshipped to be a sick idea.
I vaguely remember hearing that saying about...as man now is, God once was, etc....
so that means God was once a man? Not our God? I thought He has always existed as God?
This whole thing still makes me squirm.
I have a testimony of the church, and even when I 'tried' to go to other churches I could not deny this church...and I mean, all you have to do is look at our church and know it is from God.
Which is why this bothers me so much.
Thanks everyone. I'm going to keep praying about it and also focus on things I DO know to be true.
This high council speaker....spoke about God as if he were just a next door neighbor or something. There was no reverence to his words about 'Father', just ramblings about how we should be good so we can be gods and godesses like 'Father'. It was like he put us on equal footing or someting. He couldn't even call him 'Heavenly Father' or GOD.
I'm going to try to forget about this talk. Thanks for your insight, everyone!
PS. What is that madness about God landing on earth and his wife giving birth to Adam? Again, I'm ignoring it.....
