Obviously God is not "God of false gods," so you can't just say that every reference to "gods" in the scriptures is referring to false gods. The "gods" mentioned in the scriptures are, in my opinion, beings who have certain divine qualities. God (our God) is the mightiest of all of them. They are all subject to Him, just as we are. I think the biggest issue here is what the scriptures really mean by the word "gods."

Post #347 I noted how I understand "gods".

It contradicts nothing.

I'm in the process of clearing this up with other LDS members. Read previous post.
