Mormonism has no clear handle on that. One doctrine is the doctrine of eternal progression which says that men become gods through progressing in knowledge, wisdom, and power. That the god of this planet, Elohim, was himself born to another older god, who was in turn born to another, still older, god. Neither of these theories remotely approaches the biblical minimum understanding that in all the universe there is but one God. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.
All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass. A Christian must understand that he is powerless to save himself. Nothing can be more repugnant to God than to encounter fallen men who suggest to Him that they are able to bootstrap themselves into righteousness. I am not suggesting this isn't possible.
