LDS Part II

The Mormon’s Road to Godhood

What do Mormons believe about creation, soul, spirit and elements?

The natural or earthly substances of which the earth in all its parts is composed and which make up the physical or temporal bodies of all created things are called elements.

The elements are eternal, the Lord says; and when they are organized into a mortal body, those elements become the tabernacle of the eternal spirit that comes from pre-existence.

26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

3. Did Lucifer desire to be the Savior & was he the brother of Jesus?

Mormon’s believe “one of the other sons of God” contested Jesus as Savior.

“Haughty, ambitious, and covetous of powers and glory, this spirit-brother of Jesus desperately tried to become the Savior of mankind.”

Biblical Answer:
