The rules don’t change for attaining Godhood, and God doesn’t break his own laws. Also he doesn’t alter the rules and laws, for God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Why, in the histories have people been commanded to slay other people, men, women, and children? Notice I stray from using the words “Kill,” and “Murder” because I think that those have distinctly different meanings but I’m not going to go into that right now. Right now I want to talk about attaining Godhood and the precise way in which we can do that. For my own purposes I’m going to refer to “God” as Heavenly Father because for me it makes God more of a real person. When I think of the word “God” I am immediately directed in my thoughts to the spanning, infinite laws of the Universe and not my more personal, individual Heavenly Father. Now, the reason it seems as though Heavenly Father is altering the rules for salvation by causing us to do one thing one moment in time and another distinctly different thing in a different moment isn’t because He is a differing God, but rather He is a perfect God. Let me share an example but before I do I want to clearly make a statement that is true. I am not going to attain Godhood by following the seemingly random mood shifts of a God who only lives to change the rules up on us to try our faith. I am going to attain Godhood by abiding by the same eternal, unchanging truths and principles that My Heavenly Father abided by perfectly, that were already in place and never changing or ending through all of the cosmos and every cosmo in-between the cosmos that ever were and are or ever will be. Our Heavenly Father became God by following the rules of the Universe that already existed and the reason we call it Gods law is because it is Gods law, Heavenly Father became perfect at the Law and that is why He is God, and He has the ability and power to travel it unhindered and create never ending worlds because of it. He is perfect at it so He is the Law but He does not change it or he would cease to be God. The example I’ll share is one of a soccer match. This odd soccer match between Barbados and Grenada in the 1994 Shell Caribbean Cup came down to the wire with Barbados leading 2 to 1. Now, the turn of events in the way the rules were set up stated that if Barbados did not win by at least two points Grenada was going to advance to the next round and Barbados was going to be eliminated. Even though Barbados was in the lead they were only leading by one and so the Coach, being the skillfully understanding of the game man he was, realized that with only three minutes left his team was probably not going to score another goal to put them up 3 to 1 so they could advance, so what did he tell his team to do? He told them to turn around and score on their own goal! What would this accomplish, well it would cause the game to be tied 2-2 which would make the game go into overtime which any first goal in overtime would end the game and would count as an automatic two points. The other team quickly realized what was going on and it was a mad scramble for both teams to score on their own goals. It was very confusing but in the end Barbados put one in their own net causing a 2-2 overtime and then in the overtime period they won and advanced to the next round. Now, the example is, the rules of the game did not change but a very needed and distinct purpose did, score on ourselves for a larger purpose to play out in our benefit in the end. There is nothing in me that believes Heavenly Father simply wanted to see how much suffering he could inflict on the nations of those whom He commanded to be destroyed, (speaking of the old testament days). Like how the coach understood scoring on his own team would serve a larger purpose, Heavenly Father for a larger purpose told His people to do those things, yet He did not change the rules of the game or the Principles of the infinite universe. God is there to tell us what it is that we need to do to become like Him and that is to abide by the principles of the universe that he did not create, but rather became perfect at following in His body because they were already there. He was once like you and I and He is not God because He followed a completely different set of rules that His God made up once upon a time but because he listened to His God who told him to perfect himself in the Principles of the Universe that are the same, yesterday, today and forever. It might be a little confusing but to me there is a huge distinction between the two. So, when someone says, “Well, it’s just because God said so…” I say, it is because God said so, that is true, but it isn’t just a random thing that he switches up on us to simply try our faith, it’s what He says because He is reiterating truths from a book that is the Universe and which He can read and understand, which is what gives Him his ultimate power. We can even, on a smaller scale use our mortal scientists today as a great example, because I believe that even the smallest things denote that there is a God and not only that, but testify of how He is God, we simply need to learn to read the world and universe around us as He does so perfectly and see the symbolism in literally everything, in literally every way people and nature and the thought process and the way things and progression works in our everyday lives. Now, I know Thomas Edison worked greatly with others ideas of electricity and may not even himself been the sole inventor of the light bulb but let’s say he literally was for this purpose. When he discovered how to harness electricity so that it would give us an incandescent light source without the inefficient and unsafe open flame, what was it that he did? He told others about it, and look at where we are today. The earth is literally lit by this truth seemingly from one end to the other. He figured out this eternal truth of harnessing physical light into a bulb so that our nights might be brighter. Did he up and one day create this light source out of nowhere, from limbo for himself and told everyone else to obey him so we could partake in this ungraspably concocted idea? No, that is utter foolishness and nonsense and that is not how Heavenly Father functions because it is a flimsy, unenlightened, un-understood way of justifying why God seemingly goes against His own rules sometimes. He didn’t invent the truth, he understood the truth and then used his knowledge to invent the light bulb. The truth was already there but the bulb was not. He harnessed the eternal truth that is the same, yesterday, today and forever of this thing and learned from trial and error how to abide by its own precepts and principles to be able to refine it so that we might have a better life today. Heavenly Father is, like I’ve said before the master of the Universe, the God of science in our worldly terms. The human being learned to crawl, next he learned to walk, then he ran, then he rode the horse, then he drove a car, then he flew a plane, then he piloted a spaceship, then he navigated the quantum world, then he learned to travel at light speed and phased from one point to the other, then he learned how to do all of this with less physical technology, then he finally understood that he could go anywhere he wanted without his physical technologies because he finally understood that everything outside of us can be obtained by mastering ourselves on the inside, then he navigates all of space and time freely and perfectly, then he tries to get others to follow him because it is so incredible, then he cries because people don’t believe him, then he is thought not to exist, then he is God. All of this by gradually understating more and more of the laws of the way the universe naturally works already, the way it always will be and never will be different. Obviously there is more to becoming God then just that process, that was simply a straight forward example of my dedicated point that I’m trying to get across. We become Gods by following rules that never change, not by following rules by a random God that gives us things once and a while by obeying his orders. I believe in God and I believe in Heavenly Father, Heavenly Father is God and not the other way around. Obviously I could go into incredible depths into our Savior Jesus Christ and the Comforter, The Holy Ghost and how they make up the Godhead but that is for another time and day. My God, My Heavenly Father is true and perfect in the law and that is why He is God, or in other words, He is that He is,(I am that I am). I hope this has been of some interest to someone who might read this and I hope you can get something out of it because this is my testimony. It is my testimony that God lives and we are his children, and that we can fulfill the measure of our creation to become like our Divine Heavenly Parents, for, even though we might not understand it or feel like it now we desperately yearn to be back home and gain eternal life and become princes and princesses to our majestic, eternal, divine inheritance. What is an eternal truth? An eternal truth is what it is when we can lift an object into the air when the proper techniques have been applied, thus we have an airplane. An eternal truth is when we can travel through space and time unhindered and completely free when the proper techniques have been applied, thus you are God and a Heavenly Father or Mother. This is my testimony in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
