Joseph Smith taught: “It is the first principle of the Gospel to know for a certainty the Character of God. … He was once a man like us; … God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, sel. Joseph Fielding Smith [1976], 345–46).

This is from Gospel Principles chapter 47 and can be found here:

The principle of God being a man like us and the possibility of us becoming gods is clearly taught in this chapter and is therefore clearly accepted as doctrine in the LDS church.

H Lions, I did not ask for reasoning but evidence that it was an accepted revelation and part of the doctrine of the Church. So far, you have not provided any evidence.

And now you have made another claim and I again ask for evidence to support your claim that the Journal of Dicourses is part of the “Standard Work”. You and your friends seem to be quite good at making claims but when asked for evidence to back up these claims, you are sadly lacking. I await your evidence.

Marvin, surely if a PROPHET of GOD, called by GOD to pass on revealed knowledge and continual revelation, speaks on the NATURE of GOD how this NOT BE REVELATION?
Especially when it recorded in the “Standard Work” Journal of Discourses 26:368

I would like to see your documentation on Pres. Snow’s couplet being revelation. As far as I know, it was something he said but it has never been presented to the Church as doctrine or scripture.

This should be very good.I think there will be a lot to learn here. Can’t wait.
