Man will become like God, say Mormons and transhumanists in Salt Lake City

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), aka Mormon Church, has a concept of boundless elevation and exaltation of Man, through all means including science and technology, until he becomes like God.

Conversely, God was once like Man before attaining an exalted status. “[Mormonism] allows for humans to ascend to a higher, more godlike level,” writes Max More in his introduction to The Transhumanist Reader, “rather than sharply dividing God from Man.”

Great subject,

there is so much here from the original lie to the tower of Babel and its foreshadow of the anti Christ’s end time kingdom to understanding the base urges of sin and the reception of grace..

LOL. subject has been on my mind lately, too many thoughts to even lay out a coherent post

It’s amazing how basically the short description of the fall and Gods promise of salvation in genesis remains the base of all other subjects for life and biblical study.

Transhumanism is just plain old gross - but its just the extreme end of all human efforts apart from Jesus.
