According to Milton R. Hunter(Quorum of the 70) and and so-called Apostle John Widtsoe, The LDS Church teaches(as received from Joseph Smith) the Law of Eternal Progression of Deity. Simply stated it is this: Deity is ever-progressing; God availed himself at every opportunity to obey the laws of eternal truth, in doing so he moved from less powerful to more; a progressive order to attain to the glorified and exalted deity that he now is.
There exists multiple problems both biblical/theological, and philosophical. I will briefly examine two of them.
1)The law of eternal progression presupposes an set of Eternal Truths from which our Deity learned and was able to attain to the state of "exalted Deity". How cant these truths be eternal without an equally eternal rational personal being that either is the truth and communicates it, the Christian belief, or at least an eternal rational being that arbitrarily created these "truths" by which the rational creature can progress to this invented state called "Deity". Any other position fails to account for the existence of the set of "eternal truths". The Mormon system assumes these "eternal truths" yet refuses to accept an eternal personal Deity from whom these "Eternal Truths" have come. Very problematic to say the least...
2)The other problem rests in the entire idea of a progression from one being to another in a rational progression or evolution, which is assumed in the Law of Eternal progression(LEP). The questions why and how are not even hinted at in the LDS writings on the LEP. The why question must be avoided because it would require an explanation outside of the Deity that assumes a plan of progression, or at least intelligence that left the truths that would lead one to the state of Deity. So while the first problem deals with the existence of an eternal rational being that is unaccounted for in the LDS system, the second deals with the evidence of this Truth even contained in their own system. If you were to be consistent in examining the LEP and all its principles by logical necessity, a Good Mormon would affirm an eternal personal Deity that created the Laws of Eternal progression, but the the LEP would no longer be a viable option anyways...
