Did Jesus himself claims: "I am God, and worship me?"

[Peter1000]

That is right, LDS believe Jesus is god with a little "g".

LDS also believe that......

- Jesus is one of a whole string of gods with a little "g"
- His father, Heavenly Father, had to earn the right to become a God with big "G"
- Jesus had to earn the right to become A god
- Jesus has not always been A god, as this is something he achieved
- It is the goal of every Mormon man to someday achieve godhood the same as Jesus did, the same as Jesus’ father did.

What is more disconcerting to say the least is the LDS (Mormons) belief that Jesus is the spirit brother of Satan.

Several misstatements:

We do not believe Jesus is a god with a little 'g'.

We do not believe that Jesus is one of a whole string of gods with a little 'g'.

The rest is pretty close and there are many scriptures that attest to these truths.

What size "G" does Heavenly Mother get?

 

[Peter1000]

John 10:30 - I and the Father are one

It says in John 17:11 the following words:
John 17:11
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

How can the apostles of Jesus Christ be one as God the Father and Jesus are one?

If not as big as Heavenly Father, did Heavenly Father marry down? An unequal yoke?

Are you saying, contrary to Mormon theologians that Jesus the Son is God with a big G, just like God the Father who is also God with the big G.

@Anand Prabhu Antony my friend here is my detailed reply to you.

From the Mormon Hymnal: O My Father (verse 3)

I had learned to call thee Father,
Thru thy Spirit from on high,
But, until the key of knowledge
Was restored, I knew not why.
In the heav’ns are parents single?
No, the thought makes reason stare!
Truth is reason; truth eternal
Tells me I’ve a mother there.

LDS believe that there is both a Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. They do not discuss this much since they say it is sacred.

Do you worship her? Yes or no?

Of course he is. They are in a Godhead with equal power and majesty. But even though They are both big 'G', there is still a hierarchy in the Godhead. God the Father first, God the Son second, God the HS third.

Heavenly Mother is fourth?

Then that is a no, otherwise you worship Her hoping you are right.

Dear Brothers and Sisters... We Christians believe in One true Living God. I am posting this thread to improve our knowledge in bible. Every muslims, Jehovah witness community, and other people who says that Jesus should not be worshipped, or some saying that He is only son of God, but not that God Himself or says that He should not be claimed as a son for God, but just a prophet. Anyway they just conclude to one question asking: Did Jesus himself say, "I am God and worship me"?.

I have answers for their ignorance. But, kindly share your opinions. We need to be very serious about this. Whether individually you are strong or not, there are many innocent christians getting converted to the wrong paths, since many believers as christians not properly answering to that exact question. We need to battle the dark forces through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Did Jesus himself say: "I am God and worship me?".

Here's some verses I think apply.

John chapter 1 verse 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
verse14
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Revelation chapter 19 verse 13
13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

Heavenly Mother is a Gnostic belief that one of the seven Aeons called Sophia bore a heavenly child Yahweh and he earned God status, then Yahweh created a Godman child Jesus, against the wishes of the other Aeons. The Yahweh of the Old Testament according to Gnosticism is portrayed as a bad guy.

I suppose according Mormon teachings of Heavenly Mother or the Mother in Heaven as the mother of human spirits and the wife of God the Father, Yahweh, would explain why in the Old Testament there were Jews making images of her on cakes, in commemoration of her and it explains why the RCC use the same Queen of Heaven and Mother title alongside Sophia.

This means, that both the Mormons and the RCC unwittingly pay homage to Sophia Queen of Heaven. RCC may have a different doctrinal spin on this compared to Mormons, yet both use the same terms found in Gnostic Teachings.

In Jeremiah 7:18: The children gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough and make cakes of bread for the Queen of Heaven.

Of course he is. They are in a Godhead with equal power and majesty. But even though They are both big 'G', there is still a hierarchy in the Godhead. God the Father first, God the Son second, God the HS third.

A. Who Is the Holy Ghost?

According to the LDS Church, all heavenly spirits other than the Father and his celestial wife (our “heavenly mother”), including Jesus, are their spirit sons and daughters. This doctrinal view has led some Mormons naturally to the conclusion that the Holy Ghost is another of God’s spirit sons. “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that the Holy Ghost is a spirit man, a spirit son of God the Father” (Encyclopedia of Mormonism, 6:249). In other words, according to some Mormons, the Holy Ghost is one of our spirit brothers in heaven—one who somehow became part of the Godhead. LDS leaders have officially neither endorsed nor denied this idea, and LDS theologians who advocate it have no explanation for how this might have happened.

The notion that the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit) is one of God’s many spirit sons or some other deity separate from God himself not only has no support whatsoever in the Bible, it is inconsistent with what the Bible teaches. As we saw in our study of Mormon doctrine and the Trinity, the Holy Spirit is one God with the Father and the Son, so that the Bible calls him the Spirit of the Father and the Spirit of the Son (Jesus Christ). This inseparable relationship between the Holy Spirit and the other two divine persons implies that as “the eternal Spirit” (Hebrews 9:14) he has always been this divine Spirit. In other words, the Holy Spirit is not a spiritual being who somehow advanced to the status of a member of the Godhead, but rather he is and always has been the Lord God (Acts 5:3-4, 9; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18). By the grace of God in redemption, believers are adopted to become “brothers” to God’s one and only divine Son, Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29; Hebrews 2:11-18). This means that we were not and are not brothers of the Holy Spirit; nor are we heavenly beings that the Holy Ghost helps to reach their divine potential. Rather, it is by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that we physical creatures are able to call God our Father (Romans 8:14-17; Galatians 4:4-6).

B. Does the Holy Spirit Dwell in the Hearts of Believers?

Earlier we quoted Joseph Smith’s statement in 1843, “The Holy Ghost is a personage and a person cannot have the personage of the H[oly] G[host] in his heart.” This is how the statement reads in the diary of Joseph Smith kept for him in 1843 by Willard Richards. Years after Joseph’s death, this statement appeared in the History of the Church (5:325) rewritten as follows: “…the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us.” This is also how the statement appears in D&C 130, which was added to Doctrine and Covenants in 1876 (see D&C 130:22). There is an apparent discrepancy between these two versions of Joseph Smith’s statement:

Joseph Smith’s sermon at Ramus, IL
(diary, April 1843)

“The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s. The Son also, but the Holy Ghost is a personage and a person cannot have the personage of the H[oly] G[host] in his heart.”

History of the Church 5:325
D&C 130:22

“The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit.Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us.”
