Jesus became a God. He was not always God. L.D.S.-God, as a resurrected physical man, is literal father of Jesus. The Father came and had sexual relations with Mary for Jesus to be conceived on earth. They believe Matthew 1:18 is in error.
"Jesus became a God and reached His great state of understanding through consistent effort and continuous obedience to all the Gospel truth and universal laws."

NOTE: The Jesus of the Mormon Church is not the Jesus of the Bible. There is only one God, according to the Bible. Within the nature of the one eternal God are three distinct persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. The Mormon Jesus, is one God of many Gods, begotten by the Father, and the spirit brother of Satan. |
