"You Will Be Like God:" Satan's Lie from the Garden to Utah

Abstract

Satan’s lies have corrupted mankind since the fall into sin. In recent years, his corruption has begun influencing people to use the Bible as the basis of their Scripture, but downplay its reliability. One such corruption has come in the form of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Their core belief is that one day they could become gods. Throughout their lives, they need to be good Mormons so that they might receive this exaltation, becoming gods. They have to be absolutely perfect every step of the way. This causes major stress for them which gives us the perfect opportunity to preach the truth of God’s Word to them and save them from the grip of Satan. This paper aims to show how we can know that Mormons do believe that they are able to become gods and how we can preach God’s truth to them.
