	The Watchman Expositor: The Mormon Promise of Godhood
		The Watchman Expositor: The Mormon Promise of Godhood
		The LDS book, Achieving a Celestial Marriage, exposes the heart of Mormon theology when it teaches, "Our Father in heaven was once a man as we are now, capable of physical death.
		They will then have achieved "godhood" and will become a Heavenly Father and a Heavenly Mother in the same way that our God "achieved" his Godhood.

	GODHOOD
		The path of removal of karma is the Jain path of purification or spiritual progress which ultimately leads to perfection or Godhood.
		Godhood is the perfected state of soul and supreme manifestation of human excellence.
		Godhood is latent in ordinary individuals (souls) who become God upon removal of karma by their own effort.

	Playing God The ultimate lucid dreaming OR what would Godhood be like anyway?
		Godhood it seems, is neither given or lost easily, even in your dreams.
		Godhood can only be given up lock, stock, and barrel-- not piecemeal, and not temporarily.
		By the time I realized the trap Godhood represented I was already desperate for an exit, and my care for anything else in the world (at least during my dream-state) completely extinguished.

	The Loving Heart - "The Godhood Of God" by A. W. Pink (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		When we speak of the Godhood of God we affirm that He is “King of kings and Lord of lords.” We affirm that God is something more than a disappointed, dissatisfied, defeated Being, who is filled with benevolent desires but lacking in power to carry them out.
		When we speak of the Godhood of God we affirm that He is “the Most High.” We affirm that God is something more than One who has endowed man with the power of choice, and because He has done this is therefore unable to compel man to do His bidding.
		When we speak of the Godhood of God we affirm that He is the Almighty.

	Can Man Progress To Godhood? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		If it can be shown that man logically progresses to godhood, as perhaps a child advances logically to adulthood, then my opponents could prove their point.
		It is impossible to show that man can progress to godhood on a historical basis, because we have no examples of a man who has done so.
		My conviction that progression to godhood is impossible for man is based partly on the biblical teaching concerning the nature of God.

		If godhood is a Universal state of being, then all humans have achieved godhood by recognizing they're own existence as more than ruled by instincts.
		The first version implies that all universal beings are in or of godhood, as universal state of being implies the type of being that applies to all beings, and the latter refers to a state of being that is selective and, moreover, individual.
		I wasn't saying that simply thinking you have godhood means you have godhood, I was saying that something that is a universal state of being means it is, firstly, universal, which means it involves everyone.

	The Godmakers
		In further correspondence with Chris I have come to the conclusion that my frustration in the use of the word godhood as a possibility for us comes from the fact that LDS have a different concept of what a GOD is than we do.
		If Elohim and Jesus received their promotion to Godhood from some other God (it would have to be...laws don't have energy to change a being from man to God)...then they were that God's CREATION...and Mormons are worshipping the creation, rather than "the" creator.
		And looking to the future...it is a hollow offer that Mormonism makes of godhood, not only because it isn't a Biblical option, but also because it is mission impossible to live the kind of life required to attain that goal.

	Latter Day Saint's Goal: Godhood as a Disputed Goal
		However, while it is easy to find clear and current Mormon doctrine on the subject of godhood; it is not something that is often talked about.
		It is equally important to understand that "gaining eternal life" and "having an eternal family" are synonymous with godhood.
		The reason it is important to remember that exaltation, gaining eternal life and having an eternal family all refer to becoming a god is that many Mormons dispute that their goal is to become gods.

	The Godhead of God
		When we speak of the Godhood of God we affirm that He is helplessly “King of kings and Lord of lords.” We affirm that God is something ore than a disappointed, dissatisfied, defeated Being, who is filled with benevolent desires but lacking in power to carry them out.
		To speak of the Godhood of God is to say that He is the Divine Despot doing “according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him what doest Thou?” (Dan.
		Therefore, to speak of the Godhood of God is to give the mighty Creator His rightful place; it is to recognize His exalted majesty; it is to own His universal scepter.

	The Watchman Expositor: A Rebuttal of Branch Davidian Theology
		Another unbiblical doctrine of the Branch Davidian theology is it's offer of Godhood, a doctrine commonly called "exaltation." Satan's original sin was in trying to exalt himself to Godhood (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:11-19).
		The pursuit of exaltation to Godhood is the very core doctrine of Satan's Babylonian system.
		It should be remembered that Koresh claimed to have "new light" and to have "the seventh angel's message," while the Scriptures forewarn that such an "other gospel" should not be accepted even if offered by an "angel of light" (Galatians 1:6-10; 1 Corinthians 11: 3-4, 13-14).

		Godhood is reached by attaining knowledge (Episteme and Gnosis).
		I'm not so sure that the "supreme goal" of the LHP is actually to attain Godhood per se, though I understand that this language is often employed so I am not challenging that.
		Godhood, by definition (or else by natural inference) is a Universal state of being.

		The doctrine of our potential for Godhood is literally plastered throughout the writings of the church fathers.
		It is even found in some patristic sources which date to after the middle of the fourth century, such as the writings of Jerome, for example.
		However, as we have seen, man's potential for Godhood was affirmed by Christ and his apostles, and by the earliest of the Christian fathers.

	Mormons and Their Temples by Mark Sell
		The road to godhood for the spirits from the pre-mortal world onward is the wise use of their "agency" (free will to choose right and wrong) in order to achieve a perfect and holy life as exemplified by "Heavenly Father" and "Jesus Christ" as they moved through their many existences.
		This helps us to understand why the LDS go even as far as to understand their children to be "gods in embryo form." It is on this earth (Mortal Existence) where the power and significance of the Temple and its ceremonies become the focal point of the LDS faith as we shall see.
		In Mormonism, the goal is to achieve godhood, the exaltation, in order to live eternally with your family who has been sealed to you in the temple.

	Accent on Mormon Beliefs - The Road to Godhood
		That's another one of the attributes of Godhood, and He has allowed all of us the opportunity to play the role of god here on earth.
		In the church, there is often the impression that attaining Godhood is something we get for just being members of the church and living a fairly decent life.
		Although we all have the capability of attaining Godhood, that doesn't mean we are all equally suited to achieve it.

	The Miracle Breath: Returning to Godhood
		The path of godhood is not an easy one, but it is a very simple one.
		It is not an easy one, because we must leave everything we have been and just stop and let everything be as it is so that we can come into the Now Moment.
		Godhood cannot be found in the little mind that is preoccupied with the idea of a past and future.

		Cadigan's character uses a fusion with musical instruments and computers to blur the distinctions between man, machine, and god, and by the end of the story one is not sure if the main character is a "sinner," a "synner" (a pun on the word "synthesizer"), or a god.

	The New Age Movement, CARM
		Man is presently considered separated from God not because of sin (Isaiah 59:2), but because of lack of understanding and knowledge concerning the true nature of God and reality.
		The New Age Movement is a religious system with two basic beliefs: Evolutionary Godhood and Global Unity.
		It should be noted that because the New Ager seeks to elevate himself to godhood, he must lower the majesty and personhood of the true God.

	DOES IT MATTER WHAT YOU BELIEVE ABOUT THE GODHOOD OF GOD?
		The Godhood of God is something that he repeatedly affirmed.
		From the many times that God asserts his Lordship and his Godhood, it must be important that we believe that.
		And, in view of the many things he says in connection with those the declaration of his Godhood and his Lordship that reveal his nature, work, and attributes, it is apparent that it is important what we believe about God, about his Godhood and Lordship.

	Mormonism Research Ministry - Articles - As God Is, Man May Become?
		Regardless of what Joseph Smith and other Mormon leaders have said about men passing on to Godhood, the fact remains that the God of the Bible, who is all knowing, says He knows of no other Gods (Isaiah 44:8).
		Even if Godhood was a biblical possibility, obtaining it according to Mormonism would be in and of itself an impossible feat.
		Because our good works on their own are like filthy rags in God's sight (Isaiah 64:6), it is imperative that we forsake any such hope of self-exaltation and Godhood and trust in Christ alone for the eternally true salvation that only He can give.
