February 15 – Father Gods of Mormonism. Isaiah 44:6 “Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.”

Today we’re wondering…just who are these father gods? Why is Joseph Smith the only source revealing this ‘truth’?
Outside of Mormon canon, there are no other biblical documents claiming this belief.
Ask the Mormon if the following LDS claim is true, then why wouldn’t God want us to know?
Why is our ‘limited capacity’ inhibiting God from telling us how to obtain true salvation? If this god truly loved his creation wouldn’t he want them to succeed? Why did this god give some information and then abruptly lock the doors of knowledge?
Where is Jesus in all of this?

Doctrines of Salvation 2:47 “Our Father in heaven, according to the Prophet, had a Father, and since there has been a condition of this kind through all eternity, each Father had a Father, until we come to a stop where we cannot go further, because of our limited capacity to understand.” – Joseph Fielding Smith
