| Sep 26, 2022 at 16:52 | comment | added | kutschkem | @MikeBorden The very, very short answer is YES, all spirit/intelligence (and matter) is self-existent, and the act of creation is forming them, not creating them out of nothing. For a longer answer, please ask a question, I don't think a comment chain is sufficient here and doing the question justice. | |
| Sep 16, 2022 at 12:37 | comment | added | Mike Borden | I doesn't really because it seems to disregard the difference between eternity (limitless in both directions)and immortality (undying in one direction) and does not really address self-existence vs. dependence. Is Elohim self-existent? Are "intelligences" self-existent? | |

| Sep 12, 2022 at 10:59 | comment | added | Mike Borden | Will men become self-existent (like God) or will they continue to derive their life and existence from God? After all, they will eat of the tree of life, season by season. I suggest this is an overwhelming barrier to achieving Godhood. | |
