The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy

The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy

Brigham Young
Son, Men, Exaltation
Brigham Young (1867). “Journal of Discourses”, p.269

The Lord created you and me for the purpose of becoming Gods like Himself; when we have been proved in our present capacity, and been faithful with all things He puts into our possession. We are created, we are born for the express purpose of growing up from the low estate of manhood, to become Gods like unto our Father in heaven. That is the truth about it, just as it is. The Lord has organized mankind for the express purpose of increasing in that intelligence and truth, which is with God, until he is capable of creating worlds on worlds, and becoming Gods, even the sons of God

Brigham Young
Growing Up, Father, Son
Brigham Young (1992). “The Essential Brigham Young”

If the Son was begotten by the Holy Ghost, it would be very dangerous to baptize and confirm females, and give the Holy Ghost to them, lest he should beget children, to be palmed upon the Elders by the people, bringing the Elders into great difficulties

Brigham Young
Children, Son, Giving
Brigham Young (1855). “Journal of Discourses”, p.51

Angels are those beings who have been on an earth like this, and have passed through the same ordeals that we are now passing through. They have kept their first estate far enough to preserve themselves in the Priesthood. They did not so violate the law of the Priesthood and condemn themselves to the sin against the Holy Ghost as to be finally lost. They are not crowned with the celestial ones. They are persons who have lived upon an earth, but did not magnify the Priesthood in that high degree that many others have done who have become Gods, even the sons of God.

Brigham Young
Angel, Son, Law
"Journal of Discourses 9:102", January 5, 1860.

After men have got their exaltations and their crowns--have become Gods, even the sons of God--are made Kings of kings and Lords of lords, they have the power then of propagating their species in spirit; and that is the first of their operations with regard to organizing a world. Power is then given to them to organize the elements, and then commence the organization of tabernacles.

Brigham Young
Kings, Son, Men
Brigham Young (1858). “Journal of Discourses”

The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come into the presence of the Father and the Son; but they cannot reign as kings in glory, because they had blessing offered unto them, and they refused to accept them.

Brigham Young
Kings, Father, Son
Brigham Young (1867). “Journal of Discourses”, p.269

I expect, if I am faithful with yourselves, that I shall see the time with yourselves that we shall know how to prepare to organize an earth like this - know how to people that earth, how to redeem it, how to sanctify it, and how to glorify it, with those who live upon it who will hearken to our counsels. The Father and the Son have attained to this point already; I am on the way and so are you, and every faithful servant of God.

Brigham Young
Father, Son, Servant Of God

To be damned is to be banished from, or be deprived of living in the presence of the Father and the Son. Who will live with him? They [who] will come up and inherit the highest glory that is prepared for the faithful.

Brigham Young
Father, Son, Faithful
Brigham Young (1867). “Journal of Discourses”, p.271

Lord, here am I, send me, I will redeem every son and daughter of Adam and Eve that lives on the earth, or that ever goes on the earth.

Brigham Young
Daughter, Son, Goes On

Our faith is concentrated in the Son of God, and through him in the Father; and the Holy Ghost is their minister to bring truths to our remembrance, to reveal new truths to us, and teach, guide, and direct the course of every mind, until we become perfected and prepared to go home, where we can see and converse with our Father in Heaven.

Brigham Young
Father, Home, Son
Brigham Young (1858). “Journal of Discourses”

It is true that the blood of the Son of God was shed for sins through the fall and those committed by men, yet men can commit sins which it can never remit.

Brigham Young
Fall, Son, Men
A Discourse delivered in the Bowery, Great Salt Lake City, 4:53, September. 21, 1856.
