You’ve asked some questions regarding Heavenly Father’s origins, Heavenly Mother, and the Only Begotten. I recommend a few things for you to study, since you are Jewish. In Kaballah, learn a bit about Metatron. Then read the text of the Pearl of Great Price, the Book of Moses, and the Book of Abraham. That will give you some footing. You need to know that we Mormons know few details about Heavenly Father’s origins or whether there are other gods. The idea that God was at some point just like us was formulating in the mind of Joseph Smith just before his martyrdom, and he mentioned it, but it was never fully expounded upon. Our idea is that God is eternal. The Book of Abraham will give you an idea of our pre-mortal existence, where God was the Father of our spirits. His design is to make us beings like unto Himself, with godlike characteristics. To learn about that, click here. Hope this helps.
