The LDS Creation Model The God of this world (Elohim) was once a man who worked his way to godhead -
“The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s…” (D&C 130:22) -
“This is the way our Heavenly Father became God. 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, pp. 345-46).” (Gospel Principles, 1997. Chapter 47 “EXALTATION”). | |
