Every oldtimer on this board should well know that I did all the heavy lifting on Mormon theology more than thirty years ago and Hinckley was familiar with my radtcal insights that fully change the doctrne and set it squarely atop all scripture so unimpeachably that the entire concocnation of LDS authority and insight comers up with go gaga and shut their mouths lest my fame arise and eclipse them all.
Both God and Christ and the Holy Ghost are and were God fromall eternity. All three are the Very Eternal Father. None of them have wives or children by way of seeds. All that they do is by the word of their power........that is God, it is true Chist was like a man leaving his glory. Same with his Father on another world in a previous generation of the eternal round of . A couse that God treds ea ch following the other from one glorification to the next.
Details only if you really want to know.

Yes. God the Father was once a man as per official LDS doctrine.
Was he the result of random evolution or patterned on the likeness of some Ur-God?

As per Evolution, He is the same species as his father.

No, I think it's pretty consistent that Mormons believe God was (and is) a man. It's just that the Prophet got a little mixed up and wasn't sure if Mormons taught that. Give him a break, he was pretty old.

Actually, it seems more like he wasn't initially sure if he should cast pearls before swine, preferring instead to teach milk before the meat.

I really doubt God the Father needs to come down here and rut in the mud with us primates. I'm sure such beings have a firm grasp on the concept of genetics and can easily create whatever species they wish. So your assertion that the physical form of Jesus Christ has to be the same species as the physical form of God the Father is ludicrous.

But you've met the species formally known as God.
So....was it a man, like us?

What kind of milk? Being honest, that kind of milk? And how is saying "I don't know" teaching anything anyway?
