Do you not agree with JSJr in the King Follett sermon at April 1844 GC that God was once a man as we are?


I agree with the way HE intended it. That God the Father was once a Savior like Jesus is now.
That would also involve him being like us, in a way, not all the way like us, he was sinless too.
I could, and have often expanded on my theology that resolves lots of opened barbs in Restoration scripture.

Worship doesn't need to involve prayer.


Sure it does.


Not according to official church doctrine. There are plenty of talks published in conference that equate worship to what you cherish the most (usually cars, money, etc).

Do you admit to not worshiping Jesus?

If such a post exists in any thread on this board, I would appreciate someone providing a link for me.


Think of it this way. The stuck needle on the phonograph record is now a thing of the past, but thank goodness we still have stemelbow to provide the same sort of background noise.
