April 25 – Creator of all things. John 1:3 “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”

If all things were made by Jesus, why would He need to ‘qualify’ for anything, much less to become our Redeemer?

Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 8; “To qualify as the Redeemer of all our Father’s children, Jesus had to be perfectly obedient to all the laws of God. Because He subjected Himself to the will of the Father, He grew “from grace to grace, until he received a fulness” of the Father’s power. Thus He had “all power, both in heaven and on earth.””
I was giving a Sunday school class one time in my ward. We were discussing the creation of the world and I quoted from John 1:4, along with Genesis 1 in m which God said, “let there be…” In other words, God created everything from (Speaking) HIS WORD. The Bishop was sitting in on my class and corrected me. He (Bishop) advised me, along with the Sunday School attendees, that God didn’t create everything. Bishop said that God created all things from matter that already existed. In other words, he created the earth by putting together a bunch of rocks, water, soil etc that already had been formed.
Again, they take the word of Joseph Smith over that of the Bible. Shameful!!!
