THE issue that separates Mormonism from historic Christianity more than any other is the Doctrine of Exaltation. In my latest podcast episode I break down the issue and explain how it comes down to an misunderstanding about the word “elohim”. I offer a path forward for Mormonism to be accepted by orthodox Christianity and for Christians to grow in their own understanding of the nature of God. I’d love your listen and your feed back.

LDS & Evangelical Conversations 
Hi Tim, glad to see you posting again!
You make a couple of points in the podcast that are worth commenting on.
1. The Bible assumes and describes are extra-terrestrial beings that have power in this world, variously called angels, Elohim, gods, “princes”, spirtual beings, etc. The good among these beings form a council of gods described in Genesis 1 and Psalm 82.
2. Mormons believe that people, before they existed as people, were part of this council of the Gods described in Psalm 82, and are on earth to be proven whether they can advance to dwell in highest heaven among the gods (elohim) most favored and chosen people.
3. Mormons believe that they can become the same as God as referred to in the Bible, i.e. the source of all creation.
I don’t think the last point really holds. I don’t think it is correct to say that Mormons believe that they can become like the God of the Bible, or the logos of Christian Orthodoxy because they rarely discuss the God of the Bible, and cast Yahweh in their doctrine as a incorporated spiritual being, not as the universal, unknowable source of all creation. They limit their worship to the Chief of the Spiritual Being, not the uncreated source of all creatures.
Mormons are idolators not because they believe that they can become gods, they are idolators because they believe that God is simply one of the elohim/gods, he is just the most powerful, faithful, and accomplished of a multitude of beings.
