Having been instructed by the Prophet, Joseph Smith’s associates stressed that each organized spirit was “born and begotten by our Father and our God”—the exalted Man of Holiness. To support their view of the literal fatherhood of God and the actual pre-earth brotherhood of man, Latter-day Saints cite the declarations of the Apostle Paul, that man is “the offspring of God” and that God is “our Father.” Again, sacred literature declares: “We have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?” It is with this view of things that Latter-day Saints pray, “Our Father which art in heaven.”Share
