We can become gods?

[Hemidakota]

It should be the goal of every saint to prepare oneself to receive the Savior [including the FATHER] in the flesh. This was Joseph desire for all those early saints to receive what he had witnessed.

Being born into this life here on earth is something that we agreed to in heaven. This life serves as a test and a means of obtaining exaltation one day to godhood.

One achieves exaltation by living a life of obedience to Mormon teaching and practices. Those exalted to godhood will inhabit a planet and procreate spirit children.

A supporting quote from Brigham Young would be this: "the Lord created you and me for the purpose of becoming Gods like himself...We are created to become Gods like unto our Father in heaven.” (Journal of Discourses, 3:93)


So, having that all being said (and if I'm wrong, please correct me), how does the Mormon Church interpret Isaiah 43:10?

Hi, Isaiah in this chapter is speaking of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Old Testament Jehovah and is different than our Father in Heaven who was the OT "Elohim." We believe that the Godhead consists of 3 distinct beings, God the Father, Jesus the Christ and the Holy Ghost. That scripture is referring to Jesus coming to earth. It can seem confusing....
