Michael Heiser explains in his lectures that Jehovah / Yahweh is "species unique" (see the short videos here and here), meaning Jehovah is a different species from the lesser gods (holy ones) in the Divine Council. This means that Jesus, as the monogene / unique gene, is not one of the lesser gods but as Heiser explains, Jesus is Yahweh in human form.
What this means is, Jesus was not reproduced like a normal human couple having sex with human sperm and the female egg to produce Jesus. The New Testament writers saw reproduction as the male sperm entering into the female womb like a seed into a potted plant. In other words, the male seed does all the work and the womb is just an empty container for the male seed like an empty pot where the seed itself grows the plant in the potted plant. In other words, they thought that the seed of the male does all the work to produce the child. Therefore, the New Testament saying that Jesus was born of a woman and he was conceived through the Holy Spirit, means that Yahweh/Jehovah (as species unique) supernaturally implanted his unique gene into the womb of Mary. So that Jesus was not reproduced in a human way but in a miraculous way (which the New Testament does not explain how exactly); what is implied is that Jesus is somehow miraculously a direct copy (a similitude) of the DNA/Species of Jehovah while also being human, i.e. fully God and fully Man (as the New Adam). The Book of Mormon describes this in this way in Mosiah 15 1-5 (with my emphasis added):
... God himself shall come down among the children of men, and shall redeem his people. And because he dwelleth in flesh he shall be called the Son of God, and having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father, being the Father and the Son—The Father, because he was conceived by the power of God; and the Son, because of the flesh; thus becoming the Father and Son—And they are one God, yea, the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth. And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit [see Lecture 5], or the Son to the Father, being one God, ...
This is explained in more detail in D&C 93 and Lectures on Faith #5 and 7.
What this means for LDS Christians is that when the New Testament says that Christians partaker of (or share) the divine nature, this means that they are receiving a portion of the unique gene of Jehovah which is donated to them by Christ (the monogene of Jehovah). So that if Jehovah is species unique and Jesus is the unique gene of Jehovah, then what we have is Jesus as the monogene implanting his divine nature (divine nature/genome) into Christians making them what Paul calls a new creation/creature as divinized holy ones; so that they are not just saved in heaven but are exalted and elevated to a very high status with the unique genes of Jehovah through "Christ in them," so that they will even be above the other angels (or lesser gods, as Heiser puts it).
As other biblical scholars have explained, Paul believed that the divine holy ones (lesser gods) in the heavens were composed of nooma and thus were different from humans who were composed of the dust and flesh. But what makes humans who are in Christ unique and different from the other holy ones (lesser gods), is that they are not only composed of the noomatic substance that the holy ones (or angels in heaven) are also composed of, but Christians who are "born from above" have been implanted with the species unique gene of Jehovah through the monogene Christ. So that Christians, through Christ's divine genes, are not being adopted into a lower category of "lesser gods" but are actually joining the very unique species of Yahweh/Jehovah, (literally joining the Family of Jehovah) after the duplicated monogene Christ implanted his divine gene into them. This is why Paul says that Christians as holy ones will judge angels (the lesser gods), because Christians are partakers of the Divine Gene. This is not an offhanded remark by Paul about judging angels, but a carefully designed statement to encourage Christians to stop squabbling with each other and realize that they should be above the mundane issues of other humans because they have been invited into the elite divine family species of Jehovah through the grace-gift (donation) of the unique gene from Christ. So that they are able to cry out "Abba Father" (an intimate way of talking to God that Jesus uses), as now they are direct descendants, by divine donation, of the unique species of Jehovah after receiving the Divine Gene of Christ. In other words, they are able to refer to the Father more intimately because Christ was the firstborn among many brothers (Sons), so that Christians as Sons/Daughters of Christ the Monogene are thus literally born anew and literally have the same Father as Jesus after sharing the same nature/genome as Christ (through spiritual adoption and theosis).
In the video here we see that non-LDS biblical scholar James Tabor flat out says that Paul's theology is actually very similar to Mormonism in that what Paul is saying to Christians is that they will be Gods.
