Just checking to see if you know your Book of Mormon. Apparently, you do not. Either that or the footnotes lead to an answer you don't want to acknowledge.
As excruciating as it is for me you force me to look into those insipid topically guided blind fiats to see how credible was its reference. For Mosiah 15:16 there is only one reference back to Mosiah 3:5. This is an error because that text does not mention that Christ is a father until verse 8. What sloppy blindness and shy casual diffidence, but still the reference to Christ being the father of heaven and earth is no more than him being the word of God's power as it says in the Gospel of John 1:3
The Sacrament prayer is address to God the Eternal Father. Mormons never address Christ or ever mention him as the Very Eternal Father. They all accept that this is a name title for God the Father. So it is proven sloppier still for not being relevant to the issue of how it is written that Christ is the Very Eternal Father. Fluff will do when fluff is all in all? Hmm?
It might interest your ignorance to know that references to Christ being the Eternal God, The Eternal Father were one of the most subtracted of all substantial items from the original text of the Book of Mormon.
Only my theology addresses competently and with relevant credibility how it is possible for Christ to be considered rightly the Very Eternal Father. It is a mystery LDS will not hear. They prefer to wallow in the slop of messy thinking and hapless feigned understandings that hold no substance at all.
You will not even consider the issue. You wave it off as a none issue with dismissive disregard. Like a real champion who loves the Lord........NOT!

You treat it as a a separate work, something to stand up against, say, the Bible, when in fact the Book of Mormon testifies of the truthfulness of the Bible and the modern prophets. Therefore, any notion of the Godhead must square with all verses on the subject across all works of scripture and not just a couple of verses in one book.
You notice how I leave your name in the quotes? I notice how you take pains to remove my name when it would naturally be included in a normal quote. And you ALWAYS have. lol.
And this last statement. Who is that about? I am the one who collects all scripture under one hand and the threads that tie the same doctrine are woven into one strong cord pulled from every word of scripture.
Are you hoping that by expanding the concept upon all scripture that it will blow away in the incomprehensibility of it all? Well, sorry, but some of us have paid the price to comprehend all scripture. I have no hairs out of place. Find one.
Jesus Christ is counted the Very Eternal Father because he it was that spoke the word of the will of His Father and brought forth by the power of the Holy Ghost the proto creation of all things in the organization of intelligence when all independent spheres of existence were assigned by the word of God's power whereby all creation cries Abba Father.
After this those who would be added upon were sent to gain their spirit bodies in what Mormons admit is their pre-existence. Which is really the second pre-existence. This is easily shown in the pure chronology of creation scripture.
