Mormons Teach That We Can Become Gods

[Rescued One]

OTOH, the Bible says:
Isaiah 43:10
“You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.

Sadly most Mormons don't care. Unless the Bible verses don't challenge Mormonism, they will be ignored.

Wasn't it Lorenzo Snow who affirmed, "As man is, God once was; as God is, man may become"?

Yes, and Joseph Smith gave a funeral sermon called The King Follett Discourse and their Doctrine and Covenants scripture 132 talks about those who gain eternal life are gods/Gods.

Latter-day Saints see all people as children of God in a full and complete sense; they consider every person divine in origin, nature, and potential. Each has an eternal core and is “a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents.” Each possesses seeds of divinity and must choose whether to live in harmony or tension with that divinity. Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, all people may “progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny.” Just as a child can develop the attributes of his or her parents over time, the divine nature that humans inherit can be developed to become like their Heavenly Father’s.

I heard that John Denver believed he was becoming, or would become, a God. Most references I have seen on the question, though, say he was pantheistic.
