Do Mormons believe God is from another planet?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, yeah, like technically, some Mormons believe that God resides near a star called Kolob, which is apparently in another galaxy or something. So, like, you could say they believe God is from another planet, but it's not like they're planning a family vacation there or anything. It's all part of their unique beliefs, man.

Answer 2

Oh, what a delightful question! Mormons believe that God is the creator of all things and that He resides in heaven. While they do believe in the concept of multiple heavenly realms, they do not specifically teach that God is from another planet. It's all about finding peace and love in your heart, just like painting happy little clouds in the sky.

Answer 3

Mormons believe in the concept of exaltation, which includes the belief that faithful followers can become gods themselves in the afterlife. This belief is sometimes misinterpreted as Mormons believing that God is from another planet. In reality, Mormons believe that God is the creator of all things and resides in a celestial kingdom, not on another planet. This belief stems from the Mormon doctrine of eternal progression and the potential for humans to become like God through obedience and righteousness.

Answer 4

Mormons have no particular notion of where God came from; however, unlike traditional Christians, Mormons do not believe that God has always been God. In June of 1840, President Snow declared, "As man is, God once was; as God is, man may become" (known as The Snow Couplet). From this one may infer that God somehow became God. That at one time He was less than He is now. Just as Christ grew and progressed during his lifetime on earth, the Father also passed through some manner of progression until He became our Father and our Creator.

Some members of the Church believe that God is an exalted man, meaning that he once was a mortal man living on an earth like this one, but others think this is reading too much into the Snow Couplet.

Still others go so far as to believe that our Heavenly Father and his wife live on a planet called Kolob. They have sex and produce spirit children. These spirits are sent to earth to give life to human babies. Some even believe that there are many, many gods with their own planets who produce spirit children, and the Our Heavenly Father is just one of many who progressed from mortal man to divine god. Some even believe that if they keep the commandments, they can become gods and goddesses, create worlds, and produce spirit children to send to their own earth, but this is REALLY reading A LOT into the Snow Couplet.

Answer 5

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe the same things as most other people do about the other planets. They believe that God created the other planets just as He created earth, and that God rules over the other planets just as He rules over the earth. They also believe that the other planets are organized in the way that modern science explains.

Some uniquely Mormon scripture verses about planets are:

D&C 88: 42-43 "…He hath given a law unto all things, by which they move in their times and their seasons; And their courses are fixed, even the courses of the heavens and the earth, which comprehend the earth and all the planets."

D&C 130: 6-7 "The angels do not reside on a planet like this earth; but they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord."

Abraham 3:9 "And thus there shall be the reckoning of the time of one planet above another, until thou come nigh unto Kolob, which Kolob is after the reckoning of the Lord's time; which Kolob is set nigh unto the throne of God, to govern all those plents which belong to the same order as that upon which thou standest."
