They are not, though. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word WAS WITH God, and the Word WAS God.
How can something be there in the beginning and both be a thing and be with a thing while being that thing?
Your bible gets around this by falsely interpreting as “the Word was a God,” which is a false translation.
Jesus is the Son of God and said himself that he is one with the Father.
You as Mormon laity do not worship Satan, but the Church of LDS is a tool of Satan to deglorify Jesus Christ and reduce his sacrifice.
Anything that deglorifies Christ, and makes claims that are different than the claims He Himself made, serves only to glorify Satan. You yourself are not guilty of this because you can only know what you know and all you know us what you have been taught from of a deliberately falsified translation. But as someone who knows the Truth of baptism in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I have to at least try to pull the wool from your eyes.
I think you misunderstand our doctrine and our church, but that’s okay. I don’t think it’s a good use of our time debating something that scholars and politicians debated nearly two millennia ago, and did not unanimously agree on. Scholars get it wrong all the time (on all sides).
I glorify Christ and worship Him as one of three Gods in the Trinity. I know he redeemed mankind and is the Savior of all the world. He is the focus of all our worship.
I am familiar with the doctrine. There are multiple ways to be ‘one’ with someone, beyond physically. A husband and wife are called ‘one’, the Zion people are called ‘one’.
I just think our energies are better focused on the true enemy.

Best wishes fren.
Mormons always have to end the conversation with “agree to disagree,” because they don’t actually know their theology.
Jesus claimed to be one with the Father.
If you deny Jesus’ own claim, you are not worshipping Him, you are calling Him a liar and instead worshipping a version of Him that He Himself denies.
I am familiar with the doctrine. There are multiple ways to be ‘one’ with someone, beyond physically. A husband and wife are called ‘one’, the Zion people are called ‘one’.

Any doctrine which reduces the glory of Christ and calls Him less than he called Himself is one with the true enemy.
